developing walk maps

 i've shifted my wavering focus to developing the printed walk routes

the routes are stitched in ecodyed yarns - this looked stark and lacked depth, so i experimented with a top layer of ecodyed sheer, finally deciding on a very fine silk organza with ghostly markings

i added areas of pavement markings drawn from my photos of street furniture

and for more dimension i am layering on stitching which refers to the texture of the security fencing i pass on my way to the supermarket, such a stark contrast to the more natural area i emerge from just before reaching it

there is a good reason for my distraction for once - a month ago my new workspace arrived and i have been busy moving into and organising my new "happy hut" - this has prompted me to do some serious thinning of my stash but i am feeling lighter with every item i choose to part with - hopefully someone somewhere will benefit from my recycling
