At last the rain has stopped for long enough to allow the pavement to dry and so I was able to make a rubbing of the pavement to texture some fabric. This was used for no.21, then as the base colour wasn't quite right, I used an old toothbrush and some fabric paint to make it a bit greyer. It has started raining again, so no more rubbing today. I did stock up a bit, using fabric crayons directly onto the fabric. As well as the paving slabs, I discovered that the window ledge gave quite a good mark too.
The less said about no.22 at the moment the better. My only redeeming thought is that I can always change it after the exhibition has opened when I have more time! Of course, it may grow on me...
