I did a quite a bit of work in the garden this weekend, and the end result of that was a giant pile of weeds/wildflowers ready for the compost heap. Even though the dandelion plant seems to be the most pervasive in our garden, I can't help but admire it, anyway. I think it's beautiful and I like the downy seeds, patiently waiting inside the closed bud.
I kept a few flowers to draw, and designed these tea-cups from the drawings, using yellow and black ceramic ink on vintage Crown Lynn mugs: they are cream-coloured with a speckled pattern that makes me think of farm eggs.
