Kingston University: POP Project continued

Our house has a small forest worth of wood in at the moment from mine and Ani's escapade, so I decided to take a few prints for research.





I decided I needed a whole succession of log cross-sections to myself. I went and spoke to Will, a technician in the workshop who specialises in finding greenwood for the Uni. These two pieces were just sitting by the river at the uni, and then it was up to me to clean them up! 




The bark was very soft, and the wood is too; it makes terrible furniture, but might just work for me. Will helped me cut the first piece into about 60 one inch pieces. I numbered them in order so hopefully it will set me up for some great experiments in the print room next week!
