Yesterday we went in to town for lunch, and met Emma from Natural Learning Oxford in an art festival at Gloucester Green market. She showed us how to make cyanotypes, or “sun prints”. I made a quick cut-out in Matisse style and used it to partially expose the prepared sensitive paper in sunlight for about four minutes (it was a nice, sunny day.) Then washed of the excess and left it to dry. I’m told the colour is permanent. I think I will try more of this!

7. Now he has a very very small head, a little animal we can't identify.
8. Reaches over and POP! the head comes off: "Oops! Too far as usual"
I’ve been roundly admonished for not posting, so here’s a post. I’ve been working on this picture for a while, but not in any concentrated way!
I’m not sure what it means either — the drawing was largely random, whatever my brain felt like doing at the time until the sheet was full. For some reason there are no hippos in there at all.
