Gorse 16-04-18
Cornish Spring flowers are finally filling the landscape with colour and I am preparing for a new collage. Silver and gold top our hedges and stretch across the cliffs. Gorse and Blackthorn are so lavish in their flowering and so very well defended with prickles and thorns.

Iguana in a blue sky with fluffy clouds. As he has no wings to fly I had better get focused on the branches of the Ziricote tree.

Ziricote flowers 2-04-18
The Ziricote has probably been in cultivation since the time of the Mayan Empire, used for its edible fruit. As you can see, the flowers are gorgeous. Pleats radiate from centre of each flower and are perfect for my collage technique that explores tonal variations in light reflective fabrics such as satins and velvets. There is a lot of cutting, but the results should be worth the effort.
