Hunting for striking trees is an essential part of Tansy's process.

Some of the resources she uses include:

• The Ancient Tree Inventory
• National Library of Scotland online maps - their Georeferenced maps are really useful
• Bing maps - useful for the Ordnance Survey Map overlay
• Ordnance survey maps - great for looking for shapes and patterns hinting at old woodland or abandoned roads as well as finding clues in place names
• Gathering local knowledge from people who visit her shows or open studios days and from friends and followers on her Facebook page
