Flitting and fretting over the upcoming need for work, a recent masterclass has helped to hone in on ways forward and if I can keep my butterfly brain still then all will be well!

An upcoming exhibition opportunity looms and I need functioning website, labels, work packed and checked, new cards and samples, table cover, new business artist cards, oh and so much more!! Best gird those loins and get on with it then!!


then there is this!!!
Titles to work on - 

Genetics
Wasted
Symbols and Codes


Genetics
Seed husks, disrupted stems and leaves, did you know that the sycamore is amongst the oldest of our tree genus? and is linked to the London Plane and the Maple!  and is one of a flowering plant species in the soapberry and lychee family Sapindaceae.   the botanical name of sycamore, Acer pseudoplatanus, means 'like a plane tree'.  The seeds are highly poisonous to horses!!

Drawings and trial dyepots underway.  How do I feel about the seeds, the genetics and the majesty of the tree?  What do I want to say about them? Questions, questions!! 

Wasted
Such fun to come.   So far collected:- old aged and disrupted tin cans, paper, gold leaf. 
paper now spun into a cord with a myriad of colours spinning and twisting, looks amazing in a ball of twists and coils.
​the cans are hammered flat by numerous cars over time and now being reshaped into leaves and seeds, birds and butterflies.




Symbols and Codes
knots and quipu tales of mystery, conundrums and imaginations!!
