Ice and snow
Interesting how the snow draws people out, makes them walk up there, but it seems that when they get there they don’t know what to do – most seemed to be just standing around looking dazed and confused! Perhaps the connection with nature and the landscape was too much take? – lured out by the snow, but the intensity / purity of barrow + land + snow rendered people unable to understand it properly, not enough rough and smooth, the features erased and blurred. But they do recognise it as something other, something spacy or timeless.

Love the description of your working methods in “Disciplines of Dowsing” by Tom Graves. Having a big equivalent of an incident board, with sketches, finds, photos and anything likely to create a spark of inspiration about the location, sounds like a wonderful melting pot of ideas, so I greatly look forward to the artistic output results later – will that be this year or after a complete year of work?

(Tom as admin here) – Hi Martin, thanks for comments – just thought I’d add that ‘Disciplines’ is not just my work, but a full collaboration with Liz – we’re listed as co-authors with good reason!
Apologies for lack of additional material here – I’ve been promising Liz for months to help her get more onto this site, but have been sidetracked onto other things every time. I believe Liz’s aim is to have some ongoing notes here, but the bulk of the material at the end of the year, but you’d have to ask her for confirmation on that.

Come on Liz, give us some more pictures!

Hello Liz, since there is a propagation delay between your artistic creation and web posting processes, what are you thoughts about adding images to the “Art / Interpretive” section of http://www.themodernantiquarian.com?
I have used TMA to bring my Ley Line Physics and Jacob’s Barrow information to a wider audience.

Now is the time to talk to Tom about your Belas Knap web site, since he currently needs something to distract him from EA troubles and get back to fun stuff about barrows, dowsing and art. I’ve put a new dowsing diagram under the Jacob’s Barrow section of TMA, so you could do the same for the Belas Knap section, to show him how your art really perks up a web site.
