Looking for inspiration

Re reading this book, looking for inspiration. Something to get my brain in gear. Have got stuck.

Lines. I have been busy again this week and only managing to visit The Studio for small periods of time. Really need to be in it a whole day to crack Lines. Feel I am snatching an hour here and there and as a result repeating exercises, not moving on.

Have gone back to look at the stones I picked up from the beach on Arran. ( A good ideas, says Creative Fairy)

These are drawn in a A2 sketchbook. Larger scale than last week.  Kalamkari will be exhibition at Aberlady in 2018 so will try to develop the stones. Still looking for inspiration. ( Creative Fairy has gone on Holiday I think)

Tissue paper glued on. Texture.  Could these lines in the stones be openings? Openings to show what.?
Time to start a fabric sample.

Vegetable plot is my delight. I cant wait to pick the beans and harvest the potatoes. Ok I know it is small.

 The act of growing my own vegetables and picking them fresh is important to me but as family and friends point out I have shops minutes away selling perfectly good produce. Indulge me.

Early potatoes in a pot. Hope they are not all foliage
and nothing underneath. My tomatoes are thriving

Please look in next week ( to hear if Creative Fairy has come back)
Openings, a whole new line of inquiry.
