Out on my evening walk the other day, I came across an old willow tree that had been knocked over by the wind. It was lying in a gully but still covered in furry catkins, so I picked a few on the way home, for embroidery inspiration. We used to love those soft furry pearls when we were little, I remember wrapping them up in pieces of silk to keep them safe amongst my other treasures like shells and buttons and things.
Still do love them, of course.
I found Everywhere Antennas at the library and have been admiring its beautiful coloured-pencil illustration: you can see more of Julie Delporte's work here.
