Love how this photo has come out so simply had to share it! Might have to try drawing these primroses at some point. Or do some sort of pattern or print using the shape of the petals and their arrangement.
Such a beautiful day today, I was outside without a coat, insanely radical. I'd promised my dad that I'd photograph some of his flowers once they were out and send him some pictures, so I thought I'd pop some up here too. I'm fascinated by primroses right now, earlier in the week I noticed that each petal is a heart shape, how lovely is that?
The second drawing I tried - well actually this is the third attempt I made at drawing the irises. They are tricky customers, working out what goes were and what angle and proportion all the bits of petal are to one another. It was in fact done on the 11th, not the 10th as it says. I never have issues with what date it is!
I know it sounds like blowing my own trumpet, but I'm rather pleased with it. I like the way the darker B pencils work, when I did art at school years ago I remember sticking to the lighter, more tentative Bs. Will try to do more pencil drawing, at some point I'd like to get to grips with paint and colour, but one thing at a time.
I've tried some drawing lately, as thanks to my lovely Dad I have oodles of bulbs in pots and they were so beautiful that they needed some record. My other thought is that if I am going to do print making I need to be able to draw first to have something to print. So there we have my snowdrop, the first drawing I've attempted in a while.
Finished my socks, I love the colours so much, they are Widdershins from Knitty.com
They took just over a week, which is a much more respectable time frame for a pair of socks. Just trying to avoid the temptation to cast on the next pair!
