Consequently I have a number of sketch book pages underway. I have posted
a few in various states.
Non of them are anywhere near complete, but it gives you some idea of how I build up these drawings.
A quick list of techniques used here, gum arabic transfer, photo copy/magazine and acrylic transfer, white acrylic paint drawing, indian ink washes, bleached Quink ink, label collage and a sneaky bit of pencil drawing.
It is still all a bit hit and miss, but I am enjoying the challenge.
I particularly like the effect of this stamped and sifted red.
If in doubt hit the sketch book, I have been trying to find a way to include the moths into my
beetle work. I want to create a homage to the museum collections of insects, particularly the Hope Entomology Collection in the Natural History Museum, Oxford which I am going to take a closer look at later this month.
In the meantime the magazine, Cloth.Paper.Scissors has included the moth collagraph house in their readers challenge 'home sweet home' in the Nov/Dec issue. I called it a light house!! Get it?
This set of teaspoons will be at Nature in Art, Gloucestershire in their Contemporary Craft Exhibition. www.nature-in-art.org.uk 
And this spoon and fork set will be at the Twenty Twenty Gallery, Much Wenlock for their Christmas show. www.twenty-twenty.co.uk
In the mean time I am still working in my sketch book.
