Recent creations

I have been trying to save seeds from my garden and storing them in various packets I find. I had been meaning to buy some little envelopes to store them in and label them more neatly and then had this idea. I used a template to make these little envelopes from recycled magazine pages. They were free to make, and 100% recycled. Perhaps a packet of seeds like this would be a lovely gift for other garden enthusiasts. Also some envelopes for letters made from pages of a thrown-away picture book.

A friend Elaine came over and we drew as we chatted. This is a passionfruit flower. I want to do more drawings like this - spontaneously and without over-thinking things. Learning to see better. Practise is how we get better at things after all.
