A Portrait To Accompany The First Tool Drawings And Pattern Collection I Created

This is a drawing of my late Grandfather, his engineering tools
inspired my first fabric collection.

Tool Box Last Used in 1959

I recently revisited my original tool project and have created a finalised illustration from sketches and photos taken
 when opening my late grandfather's tool box for the first time.
The box was closed in the late 1950's and left untouched. 
The drawings made during this project were the start of my first tool based project and 
my interest in recording themes of traditional craftsmanship and bespoke making.


More of the drawings are on my website
