Prussian Blue and interesting accidents
Using preloved tapestry wools can mean a limited palette. When I'm restricted in the colours I have available to use........interesting accidents happen. Colours I would not normally put together sing out to be part of the composition.
Linnaeus Project wip and quandong fruit (Elaeocarpus grandis).
Photo taken on my very dry bird bath with fleshy leaves of tumeric sprouting in the background.
Quandong fruit and its red leaves. That reminds me of a lecture I'm going to on Thursday..... Andy Goldsworthy (the master of leaf arrangement) at the Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane. Yippee!!!
Linnaeus Project wip.
Bench Monday and woolly polyps between the toes.

Linnaeus Project
Branching has been taken down and will be moving to Melbourne in January, 2010. It was a great opening night and all the work from the different artists complemented each other.
Now I can concentrate on finishing the Linnaeus project. Phew!! So much to do and so little time.
I took photos of some of the various components....
How they all come together will be a puzzle.
Thanks to everyone for leaving comments. Typepad has a technical problem of some sort meaning I don't get any notification when visitors add a comment. Please know that Iove your feedback.

The fungus of immortality
靈芝
Ling zhi, in Chinese, means "herb of spiritual potency". It's also a Chinese symbol of longevity. Also known as Ganoderma lucidus in taxonomy.
This little crocheted experiment reminds me of a mushroom.
