I am part of a group that is reacting to a title provided by Helen over at Hebart. You can see other people's ideas over at 'Today's Title..' My Mum took this photograph on one of her days out and I really liked the shapes and colours of the old bottles. Some time ago I did a painting exercise with a selection of bottles in mixed media and I keep intending to translate the drawing into a textile piece.

Several drawings were made using the reflex/contour drawing technique and then the drawing above was made using different media, ink, oil pastel, chalk pastel and watercolour.

This image was made by preparing sheets of different textures using mixed media. The bottle shapes were then cut out and collaged in place and the background added with faux bottle shapes and added marks to pull it together (I think. Memory is a poor thing).
