Golden

 I found a little collection of yellow things on my desk so I thought I'd take them outside and photograph them.  The spotty dotty fabric is a crazy crazy pair of pants that I'm going to make into a skirt.

 The lampshades are part of a suitcase full of lampshades that Mr Millicent Crow gave me for my birthday many years ago.  It was such a great birthday present - and I always get lots of nostalgic comments from airport staff when I take the suitcase on a plane - it's a lovely old-fashioned one.

And the beautiful gingko leaves are waiting to be drawn and are going all dry and crunchy. I'm getting a bit of a collection of them too!

This little collection

 ...is what I pulled out of my pockets after my evening walk around Western Springs last night.  I've been collecting a whole lot of red leaves lately, I'm hoping to do a drawing of them soon.

I had to ward off a very angry swan to pick that feather up off the ground!

 The crab claw that I was working on the other day was part of a little collection I've been drawing:

It's a few things I found washed up on this beach in Napier:

 

It's for my zine I'm working on...which I think I have nearly finished the drawings for.  Now I just have to work out how to draw a magpie for the final page!
