I think I may do this one simply in black ink, picking up on a set of drawings I began in August 2021.
NB my recent drawings can be seen in the Open Eye Gallery's On a Small Scale exhibition which is now live online, running until 23 December.

I thought I would show this very early stage of work in progress before I start drawing into it. Back in the summer I set up a number of these frottage prints of plants found in the garden or while out walking. I arranged parts of them on a piece of cardboard, placed the paper for the drawing over them, and rubbed an inked roller over the paper. This one is a weed from the garden with long pods which had sprung open to disperse hundreds of fluffy seeds which floated off in the breeze. I could see them from the upstairs windows rising up into the sky with an airy sense of freedom - no wonder the weeds do so well, they must travel for miles like that.

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