On monday I had a go making some rough cyanotype prints with some old paper that I'd made up last summer. I used three found things from my visit to Waveney trail space on saturday; a crow's skull, an unopened umbelliferous flower head and a small folded triangle.

Close ups of prints I made today from some stitched pieces. 

And on friday evening I went to a short yoga workshop with a new teacher Mandy Brinkley. It's hard to describe a yoga class but the theme was core cleanse and spring was discussed. I wanted to make a note of the word "melting" which she used to describe the coming of spring. I hadn't really thought of that, this year in England it's been cold for too long and the desire for sunshine has become a real yearning in my body that I have never noticed before. Drawing the thought of melting into me made me feel like the tipping point between winter and spring was more subtle than I realised and that patience, where weather is concerned, helps me to maintain my equanimity.

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.
