An artist who could be described as textiles' answer to Banksy - Mrs Smith - has struck in the centre of Plymouth. Photo: James Craig.
The city's sundial has been transformed with the small plinths which surround it each now sporting an individual upholstered, padded cover. Photo: James Craig.
Like Banksy Mrs Smith likes to keep her identity secret. She struck overnight on Wednesday 21 April 2010. Photo: James Craig.
It took Mrs Smith months of work to create each cover, which are adorned with tassels and bows. Photo: James Craig.
Each plinth had an individually tailored cover made by Mrs Smith - who describes herself as a textile graffiti artist. Photo: James Craig.

Each cover has been beautifully tailored. Photo: James Craig.
Mrs Smith has struck at locations across the country, but in April it was Plymouth's turn. Photo: James Craig.
Each cover was padded which turned the small granite plinths, temporarily, into comfy seats. Photo: James Craig.
Mrs Smith's work seemed to be causing amusement to young...
...and older passers-by in the city centre alike. Photo: James Craig.
Mrs Smith likes to make sure her work is easy to remove and leaves no trace. Photo: James Craig.
