My pockets also fill with moss, birch bark, sticks, leaves, acorns and seeds. Your work is incredible, so beautiful and very inspiring. Thank you!

Amanda, your work is absolutely exquisite. You deserve all praise, as you have studied and worked for many years. I enjoyed your video and would so appreciate seeing your work at first hand.
I hope one day you will be able to come to Australia, perhaps through sponsorship, so we’ll be able to see your beautiful artwork. Once here, you will be able to travel and see the incredible plant life we have here, some of which is unique to our country. Following your visit, I’d expect another spectacular exhibition!
After the current Plague, of course. …. Very best wishes, Lynn

I have used them for dissolvable machine sewing in the past. Unfortunately the ones used currently by the medical industry are now made of PVA, which is a plastic (same as white glue) derived from fossil fuels. PVA is dissolvable but not easily biodegradable ( in spite of what many marketing sites will say). Somewhat dishonestly the laundry bags are still called ‘alginate’ by manufacturers but are not made from seaweed.
I’m not sure where one can obtain true sodium alginate sheets.

thank you for allowing us to see and marvel at your creations.

Hi Lesley,

Thank you for your comments! If you look on website at my new film you’ll be able to see one piece of lichen that I make and compare to the real specimen. Please also subscribe to my newsletter where I will keep you up to date of where I’ll be exhibiting next.

All best

Amanda
