This years collection has been another installment of the Society is a Nest series. This time titled "Fragile" Society is a Nest series II.
My focus this year was not on the environment but families. If you are not familiar with my theory that
Society is a Nest please read this post.
My art has continued to progress over the years as a quick look at this blog will show although 3 things remain the same. I still hand stitch with 2nd hand shop thread, I still use my own images and I still use recycled papers. No point in reinventing the wheel right? It works for me so I'm sticking with it!
The new additions this year are in terms of colours that I've 'discovered' and more importantly the use of nature dyes. A lot of this years collages use fennel, eucalyptus and walnut dye that I have brewed myself. This in itself has been hugely rewarding!
I hope you will enjoy your visit to my Lucky Dip ICE blog. Please leave a comment here or on my regular blog so I can come and visit you too!
