Colourful Star is 50

Colourful Star, the Anglo-Bulgarian online project I run with Marina and Vasilena Shiderovi, has reached its fiftieth post. Over the course of this year, we've been posting paintings and poetry every week, with a view to creating dialogues and celebrating common ground between artists and writers in different countries, different cultures - and, indeed, different generations (me being the oldest by a long way!) Sometimes these collaborations have been occasioned by anniversaries or holidays; at others they have reflected aspects of Bulgarian history or folklore; at others again, they've brought together an image from rural Bulgaria with a memory from growing up in England. Occasionally, as with today's post, they've been bilingual and included a text in both Bulgarian and English. Click here to link through to our site:
