I drew these while I was in Canada using photo's from my time at the herbarium in Edinburgh. The plan was to screenprint them. As I'd become very Eco I didn't want to photographically expose the screen because of nasty chemicals at various stages, so I drew them to work as stencils on the screen, hence the boldness (they are much crisper than they appear here).
I'd love to see these printed up. I Gocco'd them as Christmas cards but stupidly didn't keep any, not realising I'd never get round to printing them. Of course, it's not too late, they've waited 15yrs but they are miraculously still in good condition.

I'm so glad that you posted a comment on my blog today since it led me here to yours. I love these drawings and am enjoying exploring the rest of your site.
Thanks, I only found yours by accident because I pressed the wrong button, but I was pleased to find it when the page opened up.
Hi Cally, gorgeous drawings, I hope you get the chance to make some prints.
Btw, I've just nominated you for a Courageous Blogger Award. Head over to my blog for more info.
I love them, oh print them again.. Gocco must have looked lovely!!! xxxooo
These would make excellent woodcuts, although I can see it's very intricate. But then again, it's the most eco-friendly way! :)
I've missed you so much--I've been way too exhausted and busy to look at other people's blogs, just like you. I just want a mound of grass and a clear blue sky to look up at.
I just adore your pod images!!!
A magical treat to see them after 15 years!
