Flowers in a Green Vase

Hello, I’m Alison. Welcome to Drawn and Archived and my card collection.

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

The idea of Drawn and Archived came when I was clearing out my parent’s house with my sister. It was crammed with 80 years of accumulated objects, family heirlooms, everyday bits and bobs and boxes of ephemera. We 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.
