Week thirty seven

I made a tiny snake book of roses, made from an insert from a David Austin catalogue (rescued from the recycling bin). The grid of photos was printed on both sides of the paper, so it opens in both directions.

I needed assistance with labelling my latest dye experiment. It’s an unusual mix of colours - pinky brown and grey on cotton and linen; ochre and very dark green on wool and silk. I thought the plant in question was called Toadflax, but after some light googling to check this, I realised I’ve been using the wrong name. Thanks to the expertise of some of my followers on Instagram, I now know that this needs to be labelled ‘Yellow Loosestrife’.

Finally this week, I made another collage with offcuts from the rubber stamp test sheet from last month’s daily drawings. It reminded me of watercolour, so I reproduced it in paint. Not that excited by the end result, but I really enjoyed the process. Bespoke colouring-in... an exercise in slowing down and not thinking too hard about what you’re creating.
