Hi Cate- hope the research is going well – I’d love to read the outcome if you would be prepared to share it – or at least some of it!
One question bothered me – the one about do I get anything from handling the materials, and I answered ‘No’. However I may have misunderstood your question. Do you mean something along the lines of Brancusi’s ‘Thinking Hand’ – just working intuitively with the materials? In which case the answer is ‘Yes’ – Definitely!

Hi Maggie, thanks for your comments. Some of the walls do fall over – the bit I sketched just had a section left standing upright while all else had gone!

Hi Cluyde, interesting to read about your recent travels, it sounds a beautiful part of the country. Many thanks for taking the time at knitting and stitching to talk to me and to help with the research project. It was much appreciated.
Best wishes

Welcome back to Blogland Clyde. Very inspiring illustrated journey – thank you for taking us along. What a shame about the slate being cleared away or being in a conservation area. However,as you say it is good Car Park fodder. Do the vertical walls not fall over? Fascinating. The carving is interesting in the light of the work you are just starting.
Best wishes
