Night Garden Sketchbook Pages

Some pages from my Midnight Garden sketchbook.
My favourites in the garden at the moment are Poppy seed heads, Bracken (a vigorous invader from next door!), Fennel and Agapanthus.

Pen and ink drawings - silver moonlight and soft shadows

I'm linking up with WOYWW - why not pop over and see what other people have on their desks this week!

Cyanotype Prints on Paper

This week I've been making cyanotype sun prints using paper.

I have quite a lot of papers and fabric left over from some classes I taught several years ago - the books say use it within 2 - 3 months and if it's over two years old it won't work well at all.  

 I'm very happy with the results from my 'well over 10 years old' fabric and papers!

I worked into some of the prints with black gel pen and water.

Thalictrum Aquilegifolium leaves - it's the most beautiful plant and fantastic for cutting and bringing indoors.  I'm not actually sure if it's a weed or not, but I love, love, love it and I let it spread over large areas of the garden! 

I'm linking up with Julia over at What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday.
