Calligraphic marks.

After a slow and unpromising start with my hand made brushes,I found some rose hips on a bush outside the studio.I collected a few and taped them to a twig.These gave me much more pleasing marks ,and I was away.

I 'wrote' with walnut ink and watered down emulsion paint on paper

And fabric

I used some transparent fabrics ,which when layered created another dimension of marks.

So I began to stitch the O within my repeated word GROW.

I can see this adding new ideas and extending my work based around seedpods.
