Scots Pine

Every year I spot something new, despite always having loved walking in the woods, working in the woods over the last 12 years and being outdoors generally!

Here is a female flower on a bit of Scots Pine and a new cone.

Spring sketches

The botanical drawing a day continues - I keep an eye out during the day for a fallen treasure to find and bring home to draw. The sycamore leaves were on the floor as I walked home along the river.


This dandelion was given to me by a child at the end of a Forest School session, and so I brought it home to draw...


The vetch was growing on the verge on the lane at the weekend, I collected a little posy of wildflowers

Alkanet appreciation

I love the wildflowers that are about at the moment. My favourites are the red campion and these stunning blue friends - the common alkanet. 


This is an A6 original in a mount that is currently available in the shop - just click this link to go to the shop to see it.


It also appears on the rainbow flowers mug - this is available as both an enamel mug and a china one. On the other side it starts with red and evolves through orange and yellow around to pinks and purples and ends up with these blues. You can find this China mug can be found in the shop here.

Royal Wedding Stationery... ideas!

I'm really enjoying designing bespoke wedding stationery at the moment - but much of it can't yet be shared, and also has a lot of personal details on it. So, with the Royal Wedding coming up, I thought it would be a nice way of showing a wedding stationery range with details that are all in the public domain already!
So - I thought Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would like some bunting to represent their countries, and some rather splendid Corgi's - she with a royal blue cornflower behind her ear, and he with a very smart top hat.


First up - a save the date magnet
