Memories of 2021

 2021 and the pandemic continues.

Another year of being very cautious about mixing and socialising, so art has become a big part of my daily life, going back to favourite techniques and trying new ones.

Over the year I've:  cyanotype printed, mono printed, thermofax printed, embroidered, collaged, plaster cast flowers,  gold-leafed, embroidered some more and mono printed some more! 

Walking has also been a big part of my daily routine and we have made the most of having the New Forest right on our doorstep.

Nature

I found this beautiful lichen covered twig on a bed

of fallen autumn leaves while I was out for a chilly walk this week.

January

 The theme for this week is January. 

It's started turning colder lately, and in some parts the UK has had snow but it has luckily missed us so far!  However, the heavy frosts have made the New Forest look magical.

Memories 2020

 The theme for this week is Memories 2020.

The Husband and I have stayed in lock down since March and it has been a difficult year for us, as it has for so many people.

Without the beautiful New Forest right on our doorstep it would have been even more difficult, but we are very lucky and these photos are from one of our favourite walks that we have particularly enjoyed.  It is usually a campsite but has been closed all year and hardly anyone has been visiting it so we've had it almost all to ourselves!
