We built a pond in our garden some 20 years ago. The small lily plant has since multiplied and each year gives us spectacular blooms. I have captured the transitory beauty on camera many times.
During the second national lockdown I searched for creative inspiration amongst my photo albums. One lily photo caught my eye. I have often thought to explore design opportunity on the computer and set about pixelating the lily image. One thing lead to another.
The design was enlarged and printed on sheets of A4 paper which I joined to create a cartoon from which to work, as would a tapestry weaver.
I have a stash of unused hand dyed felt, some of which has blotchy irregular surface colouration. Perfect for cutting into small squares and using to ‘paint’ a canvas. The Lockdown Lily collection was born.
