flora

I've been separating out some floral arrangements and experimenting with colors.

playing around with some markers.

Just about there with this one. Not sure if it works as I wanted it to!

I can't stop playing with the pattern maker in illustrator! ❤️

I also digitally made this into a seamless repeating pattern, so it can be put on fabric, wallpaper, home goods, clothing, etc.

Testing out new processes printing leaves using block printing ink.

I've been learning procreate and drawing with an Apple Pencil. It feels a little artificial but it's so fun.

Watercolour of a Grevillea species that I found on a day trip Margaret River.

Watercolour painting of a Prickly Hakea. I started drawing different plants last month from the area where I live. This month I am turning them into watercolours, with the Hakea being one of the first.

This Banksia nut was found in southern Western Australia, one of the many varieties of Banksia found in Australia.

The forest nearby is full of baby banksias growing in poor gravelly/sandy soil which they do better in. The little one was growing on the edge of a gravel road.

A drawing-in-progress of native flora near my home and in my garden. The Lilly Pilly fruits will be made into jam while the Grevilleas provide food for the bees.

Many people walk past plants either without noticing them or with just a glance. For the Walmajarri people in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, and many other Indigenous groups, plants provide a source of food and medicine. These outlines are of plants that are used by Walmajarri people as either food or medicine. For most people they remain a mystery, hence the outline only.
