What a great week at Ballydugan! Friendship, inspiration and time to work uninterrupted were appreciated by us all. The bullrushes at Ballydugan lake remain my inspiration for current pieces of work, including a landscape painted with inks and fabric paints and a set of 12 mini sample pieces, printed and stitched then set in black boxes.

I've been looking again at your mark-making using printing and I love the limited colour palette. I paid a quick visit to Margaret Irwin's printstudio in Connemara today (www.margaretirwin.net)and was curious as to how fine-art print processes would translate onto a fabric surface instead of paper? Have you tried using etchings and printing presses?
I've usd a pres with a lino cut onto cotton, worked great! would like to do more of that but need access to a print workshop with all the equipment. I was using one in Bangor, Co Down, but haven't made it back since I moved.
