My tote bags on Red Bubble

I hope you're seeing a link to my tote bags on Red Bubble. I'm about a third of a way thru the update. Some older images need to be cropped to a square ratio and larger size and  reuploaded. If you see any flaws be patient folks. While I culled some stuff there's about 100 images to look at decide whether they'll work square and then do a test upload to see if they'll work without cropping and then ... well who thinks artists don't work ...ack by the time my new glasses arrive I'll NEED them and not just cos I damaged the frames of my current pair ... squint focus squint focus zoom in and out ... edit and tweak!

She  pioneered and supported the use of swimsuits with patterns.

but she was also a painter and a textiles designer!

You may have heard of her husband Robert Delaunay?

She cut back on her painting after ww1 to the 1960s cos of the need to support her family after her income from Russia was cut off by the Revolution.

Yes she was another one of those fabulous Russian Jewish artists / designers who moved to France or Germany first to study and then to settle.
