Autumn 

The garden in autumn , as it dies back for winter, produces the most amazing forms and patterns. Seed heads, flower stems, twigs and branches from shrubs -  I can't bring myself to throw them away.So I use them to play with form and colour.

The stems of fennel flowers,
 spray painted and attached 
 to an apple tree.  

   The seed heads from the fennel stems,

   painted and woven into matting.

Dead thistle and trifolium flower stems

painted red  and orange, given as a bouquet

 to the ghost of the Koala

    



 These stars are made from trifolium flower stems
            - I think they are works in progress!
