I bought some of the cold enamel paints by Humbrol after speaking to Jenny last week and was hoping to experiment with trying to recreate the lichen metal. Didn't quite get around to this but when I do I'm going to try mixing the paints with some sand or talc in order to try and achieve something like the powdery effect that some of the lichens have.
Have really been inspired by the photographs I took last week and would like to try and incorporate moss into some pieces. It has such a soft, almost luxurious quality but is likely to dry out and/or decay if brought in from the outside. The moss reminded me of some cushions we had on our sofa when I was younger and so I thought I'd try to recreate the moss using fabrics. I went to Abakhan and bought 2 green fabrics; one dark, one light and will have a think about how I might be able to use these in a piece.
