A year ago I was learning some lovely colour exercises while on an on-line course with Tansy Hargan.

On the same day I collected some Mussel shells.

It is only when the both popped up in the same photo file that I thought about putting them together.

Neither photograph was taken with overlaying in mind but this rough little experiment has given me inspiration. I have spent a whole year doing these little colour doodles and wondering how to incorporate them into my work. With the right photographs the doodles will have a new way of being used.

I just need to remember where I put the mussel shells a year ago. That may take some time!
