there is a rather long, boring history behind this drawing.
Every year for some time now I have shown drawings at a museum not far from here. Vina Cookes Museum of dolls and Bygone Childhood is a privately owned museum just outside Newark near Nottingham. Every year they have an open day and I usualy show some drawings. A couple of years ago, during a visit, we were walking through the gardens when noticed a dolls head on a window sill. They make their own porcelain head dolls and the mis-fires are sometimes put around the garden as plant holders or just suprise decorations. This head had gotten filled with earth and a ball of roots from a plant that hed grown inside. Then the face had cracked apart and some fallen away leaving the shape behind impressed on the debris inside. I thought this was a good idea for a drawing and this is what it came out like.
The original is A3 ... large for me ... and too big for my scanner so I have had to make an A4 photo copy and scan that instead. It hasn't lost too much detail ... one of the benefits of working with pen and ink.

I find this drawing kind of scary, but I like the treehouse. ^^
