There has been a lot of digging going on, and weeding, and
trips to the tip with stuff left behind by the previous allotment tenants (including
the remains of a garden shed which we found laid flat under a layer of couch
grass). There are now things growing, some we planted like spuds, peas and
beans, and some we discovered under the undergrowth, like rhubarb, strawberries
and fruit bushes. We also have trees, a cherry, a plum and two apples (we think).
The posters are ready for the next drama society
production. Peter Pan, a play for children, based on the characters in JM Barrie’s
book.
Sets and props are also in the process of being painted and
made.
The books for “?” have been finished. I decided in the end to make a something that
was contained in a book cover but that opened to be quite sculptural, something
that fitted neither category exactly.
And finally a sketch ..
And perspective outline...
Have turned into the first allotment based print. It needs
working into, the fench is lost and the shed it too dark but it’s a start.
(And yes, I forgot to reverse the image before transfering it to the plate).
