It's giving me ideas, it's been a while since I last added sewing to a drawing - I'm thinking it might be time to revisit that!
It has been one of those weeks when there is something on every day with a meeting arranging work, doctors' appointments, the optician, Covid booster, etc. I had grabbed an old exhibition catalogue of David Nash sculptures made between 1971 - 1990 to browse in waiting rooms etc. I haven't looked at this book for years, so the elemental nature of the work really grabbed me. I particularly like this piece from 1990 titled Comet Ball. The fantastic rugged comet trail and weight of the ball causing fire where it has apparently hit Earth is wonderful - I don't know if that's what it's supposed to be or if Nash was simply scorching the wooden ball, but I love the idea. Later in the week I was doing some sewing at my machine and turned the work over to snip off loose threads, and the threads accidentally streaming off the little circles of stitches reminded me of the Nash 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!)
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). <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
