Drawn and Archived - Monstera In Flour Tin

All of the Drawn and Archived cards are designed by artist, Alison Rosewarne and come from original artwork. Many of them started life in one of her sketchbooks and others are from larger works made on paper using gouache, oil crayons and areas of collage. She likes the energy and originality that comes from hand drawn work.

The idea of Drawn and Archived came when the artist was clearing out her parent’s house with her sister. It was crammed with 80 years of accumulated objects, family heirlooms, everyday bits and bobs and boxes of ephemera. They kept lots, but it would have been impossible to keep everything, so the idea of drawing and archiving came into being and it has grown from there.

She draws in my sketchbook every day and she likes to fill at least one sketchbook every month. She always has it close to hand, along with her trusty supply of coloured pencils, ready to draw anything that might catch her eye. It has become a personal archive of her life and the world as she sees it.
