The word for Illustration Friday this week is 'remedy'. Some of the best remedies are produced by nature so I went into my garden and grabbed a bunch of herbs then looked up their medicinal properties. I was surprised at how many uses each herb had and could only list a few in my sketchbook due to the size of the page, but it's something I'd like to research some more. The smell was wonderful too!

Who was it that said that all the herbs you need for cures are just in your backyard. Hippocrates?

Lovely sketches and layout Cathy
Great pages with useful information too !
How nice to be able to pick so many mediterranean herbs from your garden. This looks like a luscious page from an old herbal. x
How lovely to have all of those herbs in your back garden! I always need these for cooking and ...well....making cocktails (cough cough), but it's a miracle if I even get the grass to grow in my garden, let alone herbs...! Beautiful sketches, and I enjoyed the descriptions of their properties, it's nice to start the day with some light education!
This could be a new career, producing wonderful botanic sketches for herbal remedies!!
I wish I knew more plant names, I am very useless at them. Lovely take on the theme :-)
Fascinating page and lovely drawings too!
Wonderful Cathy. Really nice pages. :-)
