I made monochrome versions of these designs last December as a quick aside, but only just got around to working on colour separations last month (and no, I still haven't found a better title than the mondegreen "Rivermoth Tonight"). Here they are now in beautiful speckly ink colours. Of course, I wanted to see how they would look applied to products. It has been an absolute age since I had a go on Redbubble and it was very nearly another age until I got logged in, thanks to forgetting my password and user name, and then had the wrong password written down for the email address to receive account recovery directions. But I sorted it out in the end, so I could try these two out on a couple of my favourites. It's marvellous really how the tech works to let you see how a pattern sits on an object, such a fun thing - and who knows, I may even buy something one day. For the time being I have my designs set to private until I decide what I want to share there, as I have a sneaking suspicion that ideas get pinched left right and centre from the platform.

Welcome to my illustration and patterns blog.
I illustrate under the pen-name of Binky McKee, McKee being my mother's maiden name. Binky was the name of every single cat my great-grandmother kept - allegedly about 40 of them during her 94 years of life. I changed the website address a few months ago, so some older links on previous posts are broken. If you click one of those and it takes you to a strange page, simply replace the .co.uk after the binkymckee. with weebly.com and it will work again. I hope you enjoy your visit! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I keep lots of scrapbooks and sketchbooks where I develop ideas and design little creatures. Here's a peek inside one ...

This time, take a peek into my ceramic design sketchbook. I actually made some of the mugs, but I kind of prefer the drawings! The plate designs are painted on paper plates, a most liberating process.

These watercolours are from my pattern sketchbook. I used coloured wax crayons to resist the washes of watercolour, also home-made rubber stamps dipped in bleach then printed on crêpe paper - the bleach takes out the paper dyes.

A sketchbook I used for mark-making with unusual objects - corks, seed-heads, feathers, home-made rubber stamps, my fingers and lots of flicky things ...
