FIFTH DAY
Up at the allotment first thing to gather raspberry, blackcurrant and gooseberry leaves to print napkins. Later start at the Space. Felt subdued today. So much organisation and promotion to do that the work is having less attention. I feel the need to bed down in the work again. To get connected and inside, to make a place – maybe I must gather a great heap of the dried grass and line with raw felted wool like a nest.
Went home to consider and then up to the allotment, the original place of this project. Remembered my urge to clothe myself in the allotment and took up an old tee shirt and straw hat. Covered the shirt with raspberry leaves and started weaving a veil of bindweed. This is more like it.
