autumnal leaves
There is astounding beauty in the changing of the seasons. I would miss them if I lived in eternal summer.

enjoying a few much-craved glorious sunny days,
doing some fall chores in the garden,
and a walkabout with the camera…

thinking about patterns and textures as fragments,
as possibilities for layering with other objects,
…. still a work in progress

More treasures from the bottom of my ‘textures for collagraphs’ bag…
Coarser and stiffer than jute, is it sisal?
Fascinating how these recent scans of twine have brought forth many comments and questions about the fibres, and sent me on a learning journey. Meanwhile, my head and body feel a bit entwined by some kind of mild flu bug, so have been a little quiet lately.
by Marja-Leena more jute
I am really enjoying revisiting this wonderful fibre! I’m surprised and pleased at all the comments the first jute post received.
Meanwhile some of the jute imagery has gone into a new print I’m currently working on so wish me luck on that one, it’s looking good so far. Here are a few pieces from long ago that also incorporated rope or jute: Paths XI and Paths XIII, and one I’d almost forgotten, a Head Dress!

by Marja-Leena my red diary
I’m not a diarist except when traveling and this has been my favourite travel diary. I love the texture, colour and pattern of the cover, and that it was a gift from a dear friend. Though it is last year’s, it still resides on my desk. I note that only the pages in May and June have entries about a trip to the westcoast of Vancouver Island and a trip to Montreal. Both were highlights of that year though we did do some other little trips here in BC. This blog is my diary.
by Marja-Leena pine cone
Spotted as I walked from the print studio the other day, and like the little tomboy I used to be, picked it up to take home…. isn’t it a beaut?
by Marja-Leena another floral scan
no time for many words so just an image for now…
a busy week, back at the printmaking studio
but taking a mid-week break for a visit from dear friends…
