Nature in Art residency day 2


Well, it was a busy day with lots of visitors - school children and a coach full of adults, plus some other visitors and some friends too. One elderly lady was pleased to find my book of Second World War poetry written by members of the armed forces as her family were in India before the war and had owned a copy of the book. She was keen to find another copy. She was rather fed up with lichens however, as they were covering an inscription on a family grave which was rather interesting because of its inscription and of course lichens are protected. I think she said the relative was the botanist Sir Joseph Banks. I shall have to check up on this somehow.
It was 4 o clock before I had the chance to look at my "brain" sample and so have only made some fabric choices for working on tomorrow. I did document the stages of the reverse applique yesterday so they will make a useful workshop aid if I ever decide to do a workshop!
