The House With the Blue door drawings come from my love for the coast in Lincolnshire. I draw everyday in my sketchbooks using watercolours and inks. My drawing style is unique. It’s very loose, sketchy and full of colour. I like people to look at my work and see something that brings back memories or reminds them of this lovely area of the country. This is such a timeless scene - mudlarking and digging in the sand!
“What’s mudlarking?” I innocently tweeted. The next thing I knew I was crouched at the edge of the Thames at low tide looking for treasure. I wrote a creative spaces post about about Alexandra Abraham way back in July 2011 and was fascinated by her work using found objects to...

Last night, I watched a programme called 'Treasures of the Thames'. It was about people who search the bank (foreshore) of the river Thames, (in this case) for historical artefacts, like coins, jewellery, pots, or anything that might be important. They purchase a licence to search and then go along with metal detectors or trowels to see what they can find. Obviously it can be dangerous because of the tides, and potential for catching illnesses like Wiles disease. I was totally fascinated! It fits with my love of history and of all things abandoned. I rang a friend of mine, Mike, who has been metal detecting for years. everywhere from beaches to Roman villas, and civil war battle fields. We had a really long chat about all the things he'd found - and I got butterflies in my stomach. He reminded me that there are the remains of a Roman villa fairly near to us, where they have done regular digs, and you can still see some of the colour on the mosaic tiles! Unfortunately, it's only open to the public at certain times but I told hubby I was determined to go again. I went once when I was very young so I've only got vague memories of some very long grass and a birds nest. Anyway, back to the programme. These treasure hunters are known as 'mudlarks' - (it sounds like they should be some sort of bird, doesn't it)? Anything they find that they think might be over three hundred years old, they have to take to the Museum of London to register it, and have it valued. If the museum thinks it is 'special' enough or something they don't already have, they will buy it from the Mudlark or hope that they donate it. There are drawers and drawers of things that have been found - from rings to pieces of clay tobacco pipe. One of the most common finds are dress pins from the eighteenth century. Apparently the people of Britain used millions of them, - as hair pins, dress pins, or general fastenings - before the days of buttons, zips and safety pins. One of the most amazing things that was found during the filming of this programme though, was a medieval cannon ball. I think was found on the foreshore area just in front of the Tower of London. People aren't allowed to search there often and definitely not allowed to use trowels,spades or metal detectors because the erosion of the bank in that area is already particularly bad so they don't want to chance making it worse with modern tools. You have to search with 'eyes only'. Ooh, I was so excitable! I watched it totally transfixed, willing them to find something new and important. They were ecstatic over the cannonball and dated it as medieval. It's amazing what you can find washed in on the tide! Tiny, fragile things that you'd think would be easily broken up and long gone into the mists of time. still there - and often still in one piece! The Mudlark's say it's not about the money, -it's about the chase. They say that so much is down to being in the right place at the right time. Due to the movements of the relentless tide, you could miss something by seconds. I think it's all about luck It's luck, with a few educated guesses thrown in - a bit like life is sometimes. I can see how that might become addictive. Similar to how I used to feel in old record shops, car boot sales and second hand book stores. The feeling that something might be there just waiting for me to find it. I ended up thinking I'd LOVE to do it - but I'm glad, (due to my Cerebral Palsy and being unable to walk or stand unaided) that I can't. I dread to think what I'd bring home - and according to hubby I already own enough 'clutter'! 'Oi!'...I replied, 'What you call 'clutter', I call CD's, books, and gorgeous, pristine, beautiful notebooks! They are like treasure to me, but I've decided that I'm a 'Mudlark' at heart...!

Hello, I'm Jess. I hope you enjoy looking at my artwork. I am the Barnwell Mudlark and enjoy finding pieces of the past along the banks of my local brook. I then take time researching, drawing and painting the little pieces I find. This print was created by merging two of my original watercolour paintings. The original paintings were inspired by sherds of pottery found whilst mudlarking along the banks of Barnwell's brook. The print mostly contains 18th and 19th-century sherds. This was professionally printed using a gallery-quality inkjet printer on A4 white card with excellent depth of colour, longevity and colour stability! Prints come hand-signed on the reverse (unless the buyer would prefer the front), wrapped and in a hard backed envelope. Reproduction rights and copyrights remain with the artist. Free UK Royal mail 1st class postage Feel free to ask any questions! Many Thanks Jess
