This was one of those little projects, you can’t really pass up. I love the idea of working of projects that focus on current green ideals. So I was more than happy to donate my time and doodles for a good cause.
I was asked by a local artist to produce the graphics for an seed packet. A local company supplied the seeds and another supplied the printing. The idea was to give these out at his exhibition in return for a small donation, to help preserve local wild flowers. They were nicknamed ‘Siddal seeds’ after Lizzie Siddal the model for Millais Ophelia. It was the artists favorite painting and somehow the name stuck.
It was a fun project, because at the heart it is for a good cause and it was great to see how excited some of the children that came to the show were about growing their sunflowers.
