Olives galore

After putting fusible web on suitably "olivey" fabrics -

 the next task is to cut out lots of "olivey" shapes - it's so much more efficient to do this stage all at once -

and then there will be plenty to use in JQs as many ideas (some of which are exceedingly silly) appear in my sketchbook.

But turn your back for five minutes, and the studio turns back into a workshop, the work area becomes inaccessible, painting threatens to take over  -
