Drawing Tuesday - National Maritime Museum

At the National Maritime Museum I was intrigued by these "ropes" - they are telegraph cables from the 1850s -

but also liked this brooch, too small to see in its case so I drew it from the photograph, sat comfortably at a cafeteria table  -

Not quite finished, and my good intentions of last week (to continue with it) haven't resulted in action.

The rest of the work -
Janet K's crowned lion, a ship's prow

Jo's metal tag, a humble object that raises more questions than it answers

... and some tools she found

Sue claims to have gotten lost in this Pacific navigation chart

... so turned to some reassuring pattern from the region

Judith drew outside till rain drove her in, then found some admirals

From Janet B, a chair and,,,



... some animals
 On the way home, we noticed some old vehicles lined up among the buildings of the Royal Naval College - "cossy drama" films are made there ....
