What a Find!

Image
John found this shovel on the beach and knew I would want it for something! It has inspired me to make a giant size 'Lilith Baby'. I wrapped the shovel in organic voile plain with cochineal, other beach small metal finds, bone and lobster creel netting. I then soaked it in a mordant of tumble drier water and echinichea and raspberry tea in the wheelbarrow. Will leave it for a few days and then reveal the result. I also discovered this rather beautiful stream on our local beach that is stained by naturally occurring iron deposits in the bedrock according to our local countryside rangers. I have buried a couple of Lilith's babies in the burn for a few days to see what results that may yield.
