The fossil is a ceramic ammonite, I made loads of them years ago from a I made by pressing a real fossil into soft clay and biscuit-firing it. I used to make a lot of moulds for sprigs etc when I still had a pottery shed and kiln where I lived in Perthshire. I use these stoneware ammonites together with ceramic 'pebbles' filled with molten glass as decorations, but somehow a few of these ammonites have become scattered across the patio which I like because it looks so natural and random.
An unexpected accidental coming together in the garden: a wind-damaged plant apparently emerging from a fossil. It looks like a weird bulb and gives me ideas for a drawing.

Welcome to my work journal - a weekly update on drawings, work in progress, doodles and day-dreaming.
I changed the website address a few months ago, so some older links on previous posts are broken. If you click one of those and it takes you to a strange page, simply replace the .co.uk after the heatherelizawalker. with weebly.com and it will work again. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

As well as the work you see here, I illustrate under the name of Binky McKee (my mother's maiden name was McKee, Binky was every single one of my great grandmother's many cats!)
If you would like to visit my Binky website, please click the picture above. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Dissolving PeopleA symbol on the footpath outside a local primary school gradually disappearing as the image breaks up and wears away until eventually it is obliterated by leaves and barely discernible. Photographed at intervals of several months between February 2021 and November 2022, oldest at the top.
(My shoes look so new in the first pic, and note the transition to new phone in the last photo). <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
