I've been waiting for an opportunity (with fair weather and free time coinciding) to photograph some of my work returned to the environment that inspired it and last week I had the chance to do just that.
Rather than going mad and trying to photograph absolutely everything, (and probably failing to get a decent shot of anything) I decided only to photograph two colour-ways of my Ivy Block fabric lengths. Therefore on a sunny afternoon last week we headed down to the woods with camera, tri-pod, fabric lengths, step-ladder and of course Luna to take a few photos.
Here are a few of the best.
They looked really at home...
I wasn't convinced that such a slender branch would hold them, but it did!
Green Ivy...
Luna mooched about doing her thing...
They look good indoors too.
Badgeworthy green...
Exford blue...
My favourite - Rockham red
