The time has come....

Well the days are counting down now until the opening of Rural Collusions at Thornham Walks, Thornham Magna on Easter Saturday. I have been busy weaving between the trees, as you can see above. I am incorporating things that grow in the woods as well as different yarns. This is laborious work but I hope you'll agree the effect is worth the effort. Still more to do though not finished yet.

I have been working on my piece called "Tree veins, life blood," this is made by forcing red yarn into the cracks in the bark of an oak. It is coming along nicely.

The carpet of moss that I have been working on is looking really good around the bottom of a very large oak and here you can see a bramble growing amongst it.

My knitted mushrooms are looking lovely too on a tree with the deep green of the nettles growing near by. I still have my leaf litter to put in the woods and these pieces to complete where necessary but its looking good for the opening! If you manage to get across to Thornham Walks to see the work I'd love to hear what you think so leave me a comment or drop me an email-janevsouthgate@yahoo.co.uk
I look forward to hearing from you.
