Start of how I may intend to use my others images... have always been very drawn to The floating world masters method of approaching their environment.
More notes latter as have a lecture to get to.
“I have drawn things since I was six. All that I made before the age of sixty-five is not worth counting. At seventy-three I began to understand the true construction of animals, plants, trees, birds, fishes, and insects. At ninety I will enter into the secret of things. At a hundred and ten, everything--every dot, every dash--will live”

Silk Panel
The reason behind dimensions used regarding above image, was in reference to a framed embroidered silk panel, I found in an op-shope a few weeks back. The dimensions where, 40cm x 123 cm.
In reflection I really don't think it works... or, is too overstated, not to mention would cost an arm and a leg to print, and as my printing skills are very much in need of improvement that idea may such have to be put back on the shelf.
Another reason I was drawn silk panel was the the embroidery itself.
Embroidery is a craft I learnt from both my mother and grandmother - along with sewing, knitting and crochet. I'm very much interested in the knowledge that is passed down from generation to generation.
