I'm sometimes a bit nervous about starting the first page in a new sketch book, but I think I definitely had the word doodle in my mind when I did this one.

Twisted Tree

The little tree seedlings I find in my garden, I transfer to pots to keep them small and then twist their branches as they grow into knots and twists. Is it cruel?

Sculpture








I like this sculpture at Liverpool Street Station - Kindertransport Memorial.
In 1938 and 1939, nearly 10,000 unaccompanied Jewish children left Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia by train, for the freedom of Britain.

Swatch house & tree


The house & tree are inkjet prints on paper. The paper was probably a test print, printed when my printer was misbehaving and I recycled it for this picture. The shapes were cut out & machine stitched.

Vintage Photograph

This is the back of an old photograph [1948]. The photograph on the reverse would have been hand coloured and on the back as shown are two lists of colours [including eyes] - one for the gent & one for the lady.
