Exploring the World

Ring Wall surrounding Visby, Sweden
I just returned from a wonderful 10 days in Sweden with my sweetheart. We saw so many beautiful people, places, and things! So many images to keep my art practice lively for a very long time!

Tucked in the bottom of my pack on this trip was piece of raw silk, ready to be rolled with Swedish leaves and simmered with some vinegar on someone else's stove as we lounged after a long day of sight seeing. Well, the lounging part just did not happen - imagine! Too much to see!

So, I did manage to bring home a small collection of pressed Swedish leaves, many from the trails around Visby's ring wall, and they are now printed on two lengths of raw silk, awaiting a project that will remind us of so many beautiful walks during our trip.
