I have an affection for Petticoat Lane Market. I worked in Lombard Street circa 1977 and would venture to the market at lunch time. I recall sets of china and the colour and sounds of the market. The mosaic is a lovely work of art by Hackney Mosaic Project that draws on the vibrancy and characters and the pearly buttons are a very special touch.

I always look forward to any posts about these magnificent mosaic artists. This latest venture is so characteristically colorful, humane, revealing, and pertinent to the region. It is public storytelling
at its best. I especially love the treatment of the letters, at the top. Dare I say, they look almost
quilt-like, or maybe evocative of children’s blocks, or like “illuminated” cap letters in a book, or, or, or. So many grace notes. So much to notice and observe. This is a mural that one can look at endlessly, and graze upon all of the artful details. Congratulations to everyone!
