If you visited this page earlier and saw an image of a cushion here instead of these drawings, it was because of a weird bug which confuses images from this blog with ones from my illustration and design blog at Binky McKee if they have the same title (i.e. the date posted).

It sounds like such a long time, but it doesn't feel like it. I am up to no.92 now. When I look back to the very first week's drawings, however, the mental space since I began the first tentative steps of getting to know the shapes has expanded so much I hardly recognise the early processes. Some templates quickly became firm favourites, and I have used them over and over; and their meanings for me has changed in a way I can't explain.
This week I was delighted when I turned up an old brass template my brother made in his luthier days for cutting f-holes in violins to add to my collection; that got included in all six of this week's drawings and I am sure will continue to make an appearance in future work.
