Amanda signing in here, with a report back after the Forum week. I was inspired by some bullrushes on the edge of Ballydugan Lake near the cottages where we stayed. They are dying back this time of year and the forms and lines of the rushes, the subtle colours, the optimism as they seed for the next season all caught my attention. I took plenty of photos, stood out in the cold and sketched them and made colour studies. I had an idea that I might take some pieces of my composted fabric then print and stitch using the bullrush theme. Here is an initial photo and a couple of sketchbook samples just to keep record of the direction of my thinking. I'll let you know how it progresses.
