Pop over to my Binky blog to see the 'card' I made for Molly and Ben!
B and I made a 'no presents' rule this year, especially as far as the kids are concerned. We told them to hang on to their hard-earned cash, and instead we would just exchange hand-make cards - even if it was a photo sent by email with some writing on it, anything to save them spending money in these hard times. This is the card I made for Mr. T. The simple frame is from George at Asda (unbelievably costing the same to buy as an average single Christmas card). I removed the glass and used the frame as a substrate for the card. The 'sky' is made from some insulation packaging material studded with tiny resistors (Mr. T is an electrician), the droplets are from an old chandelier I stripped down a few years ago and the snow and clouds are Dacron appropriated from the waste bin at work. An umbel I had used for printmaking, some foil snowflakes left over from previous Christmas projects and some of B's natural linen he uses for his paintings make the foreground of the landscape, and the little 'books' stuck to the bottom of the frame are cut up pieces of piping from chairs we regularly strip at work.

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!)

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