Staffordshire Hoard

This is the other thing I have been doing.  The patterns are my attempt at working out some of the designs found on items amongst the Staffordshire Hoard.  I am sure that you can see accuracy is not my strong point, although I did draw some grid lines.

I thought I might be able to create a background fabric using lots of bits of the patterns and then work on top of that.  I am making very slow progress, particularly as I will probably have to make some print blocks or stencils.  Unfortunately, once work starts on the house again all my playtime will have to cease!
