Having got over the Open Studios, and collected the exhibition from the Foxlowe Arts Centre in Leek, I'm finally finding time to upload photographs and sketches from June-July. A lot of ecoprinted samples. The ecoprinting course was good, but it did confirm my feeling that I'm not sure I want to do a lot more of it. I found it difficult to get a good colour - natural dyeing on cotton does tend to be a bit disappointing. Although I had some good results with some of the leaves, I'm not sure I really like the overall colour that ecoprinting with iron gives! I've also uploaded the sketches I did for a book on "walk to the Point of Knap" for our grandson. I had fun making the walk book, and even included a map from Strava on the back which shows where we walked. I've done another on walking in the woods above Achnamara, looking for beavers (we didn't find any) - but that is illustrated with photographs rather than sketches.
