On a roll or ten!!,

Sweet eucalyptus.....such a generous plant, and oak leaves....who knew? Experimenting with different plants and different mordants and having lots of fun, must document, which isn't my favourite thing, i get lost in the doing and work spontaneously with whatever surfaces....exciting for me but not very consistent....but i am really open to whatever happens, perhaps too much...
Spring plants, I thought were not noted for there giving up of colour, usually I hear fall plants, freshly fallen. But these seem to be working and I have more experiments on the workbench, plus some logwood and madder chips soaking....
Continuing to try and make housework and cooking as joyful as my workbench, but not too successful,yet ;))

Zip it up.....

Welll zippers seem to have found there way onto my workbench through the fabulous wooly fabulous, who has been working with zippers for eons and is a master at it....so another obsession which fits in with the felting venue and is small, portable, and fun and is helping me get over my glue blockage.... Small brooches with brass zippers and wet celted pieces....am having soooo much fun doing these...
