As you will see the weaving is holding out nicely with very little change to it so far and the knitted mushrooms still look fine if a little droopy!
The moss carpet seems to murge into it's surroundings even better than before and has some wonderful ripples in it that make it look very organic,
There is also a collection of debris slowly gathering on the surface too.
But something strange and exciting has occurred..... an infestation of caterpillars!!!
I am pleased to say
that some of the children's groups that meet at Thornham have been making some creepy crawlie critters to add to my moss carpet- this was a collusion I hadn't expected but I am honoured that they were inspired by my work (although I have to admit I was a little concerned that people may think I had made them however it is a public project and why shouldn't they collude just as nature will).
As for the work at Lackford Lakes, the purple feathery reed heads are fading a little....
the green tassels are not so green any more.
The bracket fungi are collecting debris and some are fading a bit,
There are signs of life here too which is really pleasing, it is being inhabited by spiders!
Part of the reason I haven't blogged for a while is that I have been having some time off work and then it has been full swing on fancy dress birthday party bits, the theme is movie characters, I am currently finishing an Edward Scissorhands costume and a Marilyn Monroe dress!!!
