As I was waiting for an interview regarding my business start up grant, when I happened to notice the floor! It was carved granite, I think, with a pattern that immediately made me think of seaweed - Ping - idea for a new picture. So as soon as I got home I scribbled(literally, as my drawing is pretty poor!) a sketch for a picture. Now I just need a bit of time to put soap to wool!
I also received a wonderful bag of wool from http://www.norwegianwool.co.uk , 46 different colour samples of C1 wool. I just want to dive in. There is a lime green which is a perfect alien colour too!
And finally spring is here - the garden is full of birds, especially fieldfares and redwings, the resident huge hare, who is already eyeing up my crocuses, and the bulbs are just peeking through the lawn(well moss actually!) There is still sneaky frosts at night but time to get the BBQ out me thinks!
I love the street tiles on Las Ramblas in Barcelona, some are shaped to look like there are fossils in them, some to look like sand ridges left behind when the tide goes out.
