After an intense week of meetings, early (pre-4am) starts and trans-Tasman flights, it was good to meet up with my friend Al on the weekend and take a head-clearing coastal walk. We headed to Bouddi National Park which is located to the south of Copacabana. It was a glorious day and we were on the lookout for whales:
The heathland was dormant for winter apart from the occasional blaze of copper-coloured banksia flowers:
Look a little closer and tubular bell shape flowers of epacris longiflora (aka native fuschia or fuschia heath) lined the pathway. And so I found my inspiration for my textile sketch for Week 42:
I considered simple elongated shapes but I really wanted to capture the fluted opening.
PS: we did see whales too. Hopefully Al has some better photos:
View the Copa Abstractions collection.
