indulgent afternoon

I have had a bit of an indulgent afternoon, sketching and photographing compositions and ideas. These shown have been produced to inspire the watercolour studies for the new collections for 2010/2011 and beyond...

Here's a littel sneak at one of the collections..... white jasmine, thyme, anenome, corriander leaf, lavender, auricula, grape hydrangea and lots of other delicate herbs

....just waiting for our crop of lavenders to bloom in their terracotta pots ... visited yorkshire lavender this week and we have just bought 6 varieties of lavender to draw, and to also dry ready to dress tables in late summer early autumn....
