So here's a photographic work I prepared earlier.
I'm laid up with Labyrinthitis of all things! I haven't been up to any art-making as it's surprising how much of my process involves putting my head on one side. When I do that I just start spinning out and staggering around like a drunken floozy! So here's a photographic work I prepared earlier. It's one of my digital photographs of hogweed seedheads; printed onto vellum, and hand-processed by sprinkling with powdered iron and walnut husks. I then wrapped it up with a square of cotton in a bundle and soaked for two days. The resulting image was dried out, then scanned back to digital from both front and back of vellum, and edited in photoshop. Very much made up as I went along!

Thanks for your comments,I'm pleased you found my samples interesting. I made a silk 'net' with various fibres included which has the look of some of your pieces, but mine is unfinished. Sounds a fascinating process which you used on your photos.
