Yesterday there was another gift of leather, two shopping bags of scraps, from my new quiltmaking friend here, Graciela. She called to say how much she is enjoying the book I lent her, and said some more pieces of leather would be dropped off by a family friend living nearby- my goodness these pieces of suede and leather are in almost every colour of the rainbow, including a brown slightly metallicised or pearlised piece. Since then the colours have just been going round in my head, and I simply must do something that uses some of the chartreuse piece.

I feel I am approaching a fork in the road – assembling leather applied to look like patchwork of some kind, in rather traditional colours like blues, pinks and beiges ? ; and organic shaped earthy coloured pieces to continue exploring on with the landlace or sandlace ideas.
