H = Hali [Issue 162 Winter 2009 £1 pp 148+16+cover]
- Describe it: lots of pictures of rugs and a few other artefacts
- Heard of it before? No
- Would I buy again: No. And definitely not at £17 full price!
- Time taken to read: a few brief dips
Surprise: that Francis Bacon made rugs in his early life
I like pictures of textiles and rugs. But articles about them... not so much. I might actually keep this magazine for a while though - the rest have gone straight in the bin!
I love the simplicity of this - weave a rectangular piece of cloth, fold it in the middle, and cut a line in the centre to create a head opening.
Bought: from a great market stall that sells non-current magazines for £1 or less! From a woman with long white hair who normally looks a bit miserable but was quite chirpy today. Bought 3 magazines, with 3 pound coins.
Alternatives: hobo magazine, maybe some others...
[in case you were wondering... I haven't finished with iar: magazine E yet...].
