I had a great time at Barnard and Westford during the London Craft week. I made all the invitations using a fusion of all my different techniques of Japanese style of paper making. The design was influenced by Kyoto hydrangeas and lichen that was growing on the temple walls. The colour - racing green, was LCW's 2019 colour......https://www.barnardandwestwood.com/

Documenting collections

I am documenting as I catagorize and organise all my papers.

Daffodil 

As I look through them I realise that I have sold so many because they have departed from my collection! That's ok because I know they were brought for good reasons (to frame or use creatively).

Bouganvillea

I spoke to ladies at the Leeds Book Fair last week-end who brought the papers 'just because' they wanted them. That's really lovely!
