Lovely to keep abreast of your work. I still have the photographs you left with me when you stayed with me in Fitzroy in Melbourne. I no longer live there but now in the most beautiful place with a lake at the back and creek with boats at the front in NSW. You would love it. I really like the idea of the 40 yards.I certainly have plenty of material.

In reply to Gina Deen. Its a case of turning something we dispose of into something of visual worth. Thankyou for your kind comments Gina and keep working. It will come,

Your work is such an inspiration to me. I have a ‘thing’ about litter and am always picking it up from the road and the beach near to where I live. I have made 2 wall hangings using the textiles I have found but they are very random. Now I think I must work with the other litter too. A little more than 40 yards but your idea is growing in my head as my own. Thank you so much.

In reply to Lenka medlik. Certainly Lenka. We can wait a long time for 'perfect' yet can always work with what we have

In reply to Karen Goetzinger. Hello Karen. Lovely to hear from you. Sometimes I think it is only when I focus on my work the daily demands on my life just sit at the 'back of my mind' for a while and the simple thing become a focus. For sure I will give Glenys a hug

This was really inspiring and reminded me that conditions don’t have to be perfect to create, in fact that their limitations can spur one on.

Cas, I so love the idea of 40 Yards and gathering memories of those “simple” things that surround us. As always, beautiful and thoughtful work. Give Glenys a bug hug for me in March!

Hi Elizabeth
Delighted to participate. I worked and still work in the community. Working with care homes, elderly care and hospitals has been a big part of my practice. I saw the benefits and engagement creative work can bring to this area of work.
