Very pleased I finally have a scanner, trying to get to grips with it. Thought I'd do my first test run on something I am currently working on.

Had tobe creative today. Was at a market with a friend. It was WINDY. So we sent a friend to get duck tape and blutack, my drawings etc were carefully blutacked to my table and we had to find ways of duck taping my friends display stands to the table and occasionally play catch the canvases lol

Asking a little favour of the LGBTQ and allies, what would you be likely to take from an organization’s stall at a pride event? So far we have got keyrings made by the group. Any ideas would be welcome. I would like it to be things people would want. Please help a clueless queer lol #lgbtq#pride

Trail hunting is a smokescreen. It has been used time and again to mask the continued chasing and killing of wild animals. The law was meant to protect them, but loopholes are still being exploited. The government is consulting on the future of hunting laws. Respond: leagueacs.co.uk/IKMI9

Walked up to Christ Hospital (horsham countryside, not the school) this morning and walked through a wonderful see of wild garlic. I love the smell and very yummy stuff. It carpeted the whole woodland area #spring #springflowers #forage #wildfoods #woodland

Started my ancient woodland indicators collection. Each indicator I do will get at least two designs. One in more greyscale and one in colour. Hopefully. Will also post information about each indicator when completed. #nature #woodland #plants #art #artist
An unfinished drawing of a plant called Dog's Mercury. The background is a toned earthy colour, the unfinished drawing is done with fineliner outlines and some graphite shading has started to be added.

Hi. Yes, you. The one scrolling instead of sleeping. It’s Catsie. I’ve been doing some important late-night thinking (mostly about snacks but also about life) & I’ve come to the conclusion that what I need is a forever human to share these deep thoughts with.

I got lucky last week while I was sketching, I looked out of my window and the usual starlings & blackbirds around but to my luck there was redwings having a feast on the berries as well before they go back to their breeding grounds and then a bit later I got to see a goldcrest. #birds

Another bookmark design but this one is of no specific plant. #art #artist #plant #drawing #leaves
two kraft bookmarks with hand drawn designs of no specific kind done in black ink. The top is more a rounded triangle shape with a line through the middle with lines coming from that line, with some areas coloured in black, some areas left blank, and some areas filled with dots. The bottom one is slender and long in shape designed the same way as the top one

On the second day of Christmas, My true love gave to me, Two Turtle Doves… And every pound you give is doubled this week! 🎶 Turtle Doves need us more than ever & for this week only, every £1 donated to Operation Turtle Dove will be doubled! donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05... 👈🤍
Two Turtle Doves perch close together on a weathered wooden fence, their bodies touching as they face slightly towards each other. Both birds show the species’ warm chestnut and black mottling on their wings, soft grey heads, and the distinctive black-and-white striped patch on the neck. Snowflake graphics are sprinkled across the image, giving it a festive feel, while the background is softly blurred with hints of green and warm reddish tones.
