I’m not entirely sure that I am enjoying
working with silks but, never one to be defeated, I have adopted an ‘I’ve
started so I’ll finish’ attitude and I will persevere! I think it is very much a
leap of faith to slash and sew and slash again in the hope that it will all
come right in the end. And because of that insecurity, I find that I am frequently
trialling lay-outs on my design wall as I go along. I believe that I have to
get to the end of the line of silks (I laid them out in values from dark to
light) for this project to work.
With the help of the son of one of
my close friends, we have managed to locate a couple of areas that are rich in
fossils. Both sites are a couple of miles from our home and it has taken a
while for us to be sure exactly where they are. This makes our walks a bit more
interesting and there is delight when we come across something worth finding. Of
course we don’t really know what we are looking at most of the time but there
are plenty of web sites that do! Here are a couple of finds which prove
conclusively that our local mountains were once under the sea. Fascinating were
it not for the fact that I found it amusing that we were a couple of old
fossils looking for fossils!!
It rained heavily this week so gardening
was out of the question - so I broke open a new jigsaw and wiled away the hours
busily doing nothing!
