Description: Tricia’s friends in ‘Pulp Action’ (a sub-group of Qld Spinners, Weavers & Fibre Artists) used paper they have made from various plant fibres to construct cones. These were embellished with a variety of plant materials and other found objects.

On some of them Tricia wrote quotes about gaining inspiration and the moving upward and onward
