I really enjoyed reading nick’s report, thank you. I have been working away and have done nearly 40 ropes so far,I am planning to make 101 and to have one large display in the gallery.

I have now also got a title for the exhibition – ‘ Tied to nature’  Rope, string and thread made from natural materials so I am making progress, although I am aware there is so much to do!

There have been some moments of sun in between strong wind, rain and snow to gather materials. I am interested in seeking out materials that I haven’t worked with before; some of these are the ferns and the seaweed. You can see more on my blog where I have been doing a different rope each day.
