A few more fairly random pictures from this mornings gathering. I really like the river's line. And the drops of water on the blades of grass. 

An exciting morning meeting the other artists on the Waveney River Sculpture Trail and the team of curators headed by Sarah Cannell. Initially we gathered in the cafeteria to say "hello" and "who are you what do you do" and then walked in small parties the pathways along which the trail will be happening. 
This was my first trip to the specific site and although I can see several places that might be suitable sites for my work I would like to revisit in a quieter space so that it can find it's place of residence gently.
I felt a little nervous initially but came home feeling generally more sure and happy to be part of such a lovely collaboration. The Waveney Valley has a most extraordinary, magical, feel-good vibe. How can I describe it ? It's like being picked up by a warm soft breeze and dropped in paradise. Oh, and there was a very, very tame deer, Ellie, that happened to walk the trail with us.  

Been playing with printing ... 

My application for the Waveney River Sculpture Trail got accepted. I feel a mixture of excitement, nerves, joy, wonder and purpose which is a pretty good mix of feelings. 

Meanwhile work on my prayer wall project continues .. I love the fragility of the weathered cloth which seems so apt for what it represents to me.

A surprise parcel in the post is almost always something wonderful. Yesterday I received two books from my lovely friend Helen, who lives in America. One is a recipe book for dolls tea parties "Mud Pies and other Recipes" by Marjorie Winslow and the other is "Mr Rabbit and the Lovely Present" by Charlotte Zolotow with illustrations by Maurice Sendak. They will be quite awesome to share with my wonderful grandchildren. Elidi loves to make mudpies which is the beginning of many, many skills, cooking, gardening, socialising and the ability to imagine to name but a few. Many thanks Helen you made my day xx. Also thanks for the celestial tea postcard with the words of wisdom "Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished" - Lao Tzu.
