I have a number of them on my website and also an exhibition on at present called Ekeltikos here in Kingston Beach Hobart. A little to far for you to go but if you go to www.gemmablack.com and go to the images page the first slide presentation is all my eco-dying and my graphite works. <br /><br />You will also see some here on my blog for back in 2013, if you could be bothered to scroll and select that far back. :-)<br /><br />I have considered lots of tools and trials some BUT for me, graphite - varying grades depending on the surface texture - is the answer. Enjoy!<br /><br />x gGemma Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10630138318071963976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500502941952857929.post-10873524472221734192014-02-27T14:10:35.948+11:002014-02-27T14:10:35.948+11:00Hello Gemma, Would you consider writing on a piece...Hello Gemma, Would you consider writing on a piece and what with?

I haven't explored India's experiments yet as I tend to travel my own path but yes, I admire her as a person and her philosophies are really worth following. Love her work.Gemma Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10630138318071963976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500502941952857929.post-82934233547112515392014-02-04T13:03:13.106+11:002014-02-04T13:03:13.106+11:00Ersi Marina, thank you!
