OVER CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR I WAS GOING TO HAVE A CHANCE TO WORK ON MY NEW SERIES-ABSTRACTS REFLECTING JAPANESE TEMPLES. INEVITABLY A COMBINATION OF A SORE THROAT AND LOTS OF COOKING MEANT I GOT DISTRACTED….INTO TRYING OUT PRINTING LEAVES ON VARIOUS FABRICS I HAD DYED LAST MONTH. USING REAL LEAVES, STENCILS, SHAPES ETCHED INTO FOAM AND GELLI PLATES I MANAGED TO CREATE A PILE OF FABRIC FOR MY NEXT PROJECT ..AFTER THE CURRENT ONE!
