First launch of grass islands
Today was my first chance to launch three of my grass islands on the pond. I
knew they’d float because I’d tested them at home but I hadn’t realise how
deep the water was. This made positioning the islands rather frightening,
the mud was sucking at my waders and made movement difficult. I hadn’t
appreciated the density of the water-weed which also impeded the movement of
both myself and the islands. I’m wondering how this lack of movement will
effect the drawings I make because the process of mark-making will be linked
with the movement of the islands. Maybe things will become clearer when I
launch all fifteen islands on the pond.
