Part of my focus into fairy-tales looked at symbolism, such as the idea of an 'enchanted forest'. After looking at artists like Lesley Richmond whose focus is on woodland, I went out and took photographs in a forest, before drawing from my observations in both pencil and water colours.
I developed the colours and shapes from the water colour drawing, creating a batik piece similar to it. Other textile experiments I created included a mono-print of tree branches, and also a mixed media piece where I tie-dyed the background, then used wool, scrap fabric and beads to embellish leaves and branches onto this.
