The garden was a mess and we were still pondering and waiting for building work (which didn't actually get done until a couple of years later, but that's another story). The weeds were doing well in the garden and the brambles in particular. A bunch of flowers from the local supermarket to cheer the place up and sat down one evening to stare at the form of the flowers using a simple table lamp to light them up. After picking each one from the vase and twiddling them about to look from every conceivable angle, I separated this one from the bunch and went to work.
