Bonampak with its ancient Maya buildings filled with coloured murals is even more colourful outside. This video gives a taste of a place both vibrant and ancient.

Mexico in February was full of life and colour, with birds and bugs and animals filling flowering trees with life. This was reflected in the craft market in San Cristobal in Chiapas, southern Mexico. Almost all the stalls sold textiles created and sold by the local women. Here is a short video to show you around.

In my imagination I was returning from Mexico to Spring in Cornwall. This has been postponed, it is very chilly out there. Remembering the glorious colour and warmth of Mexico is the way to go. I am beginning a collage of birds, butterflies and orchids above Sumidero Canyon. This is the initial dye-work for Russet-crowned Motmots.

After a long pause I am back in the studio, and fine tuning the Carn Galver collage.
