Anglesey Stone

 Wrapped a stone with grasses.
 Quartz on the campsite grounds.
 Windmill querns to grind the flour. Here set into the floor of the windmill. 
 Stones set into the centre of the labyrinth.
 Holed stones used as weights for the reconstructed Iron-Age
loom in the recreated hut. 
Cottage walls, of what used to be the community baker. People would bring their loaves to be baked in the big ovens.
In the 17th century we didn't have our own individual ovens. We'd have an open fire on which to cook, or later on, ranges.

Experimental Printing

Machine stitching onto blown plastic; with organdie fabric laid over it.
Inked up with fabric paint, and printed onto;
Above; printed onto an old road map.  
 Same print, on water-colour paper.
 Same print; onto fabric
Close-up; of fabric, with additional stitching.
I took this away with me this week, when I went off to Anglesey camping in my van. Sitting in the sun, beer in hand, stitching away.
Just playing, and seeing what happens.
