Amazing beauty can often be found lurking subtly at our feet. Walking one morning I came across this orange and yellow lichen growing on a concrete stair. Stunning! It is not unusual for me to be looking at the ground, as I am often found photographing sewers, pavement, small plants and fungi while others look at and photograph vistas. My photograph of the lichen was the starting point for transforming the lichen into a textile. Several techniques were used in its creation.
