Getting ready for autumn, we cut back the sweet pea climber in the garden this week, and I found a horde of treasures lurking at its base: curly dried up tendrils, leaf skeletons, twisty stalks etc. I tried to take photos of them but it wasn't working - frustrating, when I could see the beauty, but the camera just noted a messy pile. I remembered in July 2010 I experimented with placing flowers directly on the scanner, covering them with a black T-shirt and making scans. I loved the old-mastery results. I tried doing the same with the sweet pea hoard with excellent result. Every curly tendril, skeleton and wizened thing captured in the bright pass perfectly. Thanks for visiting, see you next week!

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