I have been having trouble getting into TypePad and I just can't get a good photo of this weeks work. So I will have to use what I have.
I used rayon type thread and it really reflects the light so this is not a true representation of the piece. There were new bamboo shoots coming up in the grove. Some were covered with this white mould (I think), I'm not sure if this is normal of if some kind of insect has got into the bamboo. Not all shoots were the same colour and I find it amazing that a bright green stem can come from this drab shoot.
The more I look at the detail of the bamboo the more I see. No wonder Asian artists find this grass so inspiring. I just love these really dark stems some almost look black.
