On Monday morning I was at work drawing and cutting scrolls for armchairs from card. It's quite nice cardboard and I was able to bring the spares left over home - they would have been binned otherwise. I reckon I can cut 4 little boards from them for work to submit to the On a Small Scale exhibition, saving the gallery having to post some to me. I need to run a test first; I want to laminate wood veneers onto them. I'm not sure how the mix of materials will work together but I don't see a problem if they are clamped under weights, and allowed to set slowly until nice and flat. They should meet the requirements of being no more than 2mm thick, measuring 21 x 15 cm in any orientation. Mine will be in portrait format as usual. Above are previous gouache paintings on wood veneers from 2015; I am thinking a cross between these and the drawings from one of my sketchbooks pictured below is where I want to be. I like to work with systems crossing other systems, and I think these would look handsome with space between the linear outlines filled with colour in bands so the wood grain can flow underneath.

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). <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
