Still looking for ideas to make into fluted or finned pots for the nasturtium drawings, I wasn't turning up much at all. Then I was doodling away while B was watching car repair videos on YouTube and saw a splined shaft on Shed Racing. A Google search later produced lots of interesting shapes! So here is a sketch inspired by - drive shafts. It would appear I was looking in the wrong places for what I had in mind! The way splines catch the light was exactly the idea I had in my head, so I made this quick sketch on iPad.
Ghastly times when work hides behind a curtain while fire-fighting and just struggling with being alive happen to everyone at some point, and that’s okay. It takes time to heal and it will eventually fade into the background. But what about those other times when everything is apparently fine and hunky-dory and you should be charging ahead with brilliant work but the bogeyman comes to visit, settling into your brain in a bleak, growly fog just when art should be blossoming, and effort after effort ends up in an angry ball of scrunched-up matter in the bin, aka creative block.

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