The weather has stayed good since the Easter break, apart from yesterday when we had a storm with hailstones and thunder. I have been spending more time outdoors, tidying up the garden and mending wind-chimes, restoring tubes which got blown around the garden or knocked down by ice and snow, and restoring them to their owners by rethreading them. I found it relaxing and very satisfying. It has been lovely rediscovering secret nooks and crannies, and I spotted a wren's nest amongst the ivy in a secluded corner behind the shed.

Thanks for visiting, see you next week!

What can I make patterns from? Messing about with old drawings.

Flashback to 2015: working on wood veneers.
Reading left to right from the top:
Africa. Heat, stillness, earth colours and textiles.
France. Parisian elegance and music,
America. A sense of distance between east and west seaboards.
Canada. The bright pale northern territories.
Brazil. Coffee beans
England. The architecture of bridges and the age of engineering.

Word play in every sense. This is an inexpensive notebook I bought from Asda; I like the paper because it suits the pressure I use when I draw, and because it isn't precious I'm not scared to use it (Moleskines can be a bit intimadating!)
I am as comfortable as a child when drawing in notebooks this way.

Thanks for visiting, see you next week!
