It was taken at the silk paper workshop, the field is owned by a lady who owns the farm where we were, madam chairperson of the Lutterworth emboiderers guild.
She farms Hemp, industrial hemp, I think it's for cattle fodder. Because of it being industrial, it has no intoxicating properties, but when I took this it was after a heavy rain storm and it was steaming away to itself, I could't help thinking you aught to take a deep breath in case it was.
Hemp is such an under used resource you can get so much from it, the yarn especially is fab.
It looked so beautiful, a bit like the tops of a forest.
I've also included a picture of the card I made for mum and dad's card for their jade wedding anniversary.
I took an image and cut it up, stuck it down on another sheet and added to the picture with coloured pencil.
It's supposed to be a good technique if you want to look at colours instead of the image. I was pleased with it and mum loved it. hoorah.

Gosh but you've been a busy bunny! I love the card (very clever) and the felted pots (also very clever), and the ply split octopus vessel (exceptionally clever). You've been amazingly productive this past week.
I know I dont know what came over me.
There's more as well as I've done two workshops this weekend.
Thankyou for your continuing support
