The Horse chestnut

Edith Holden was born on 26th September 1871. In her Nature Notes of 1905,  on September 24th she commented on the ‘fine trees of the Horse Chesnut’ and found both these and ‘the Spanish or Sweet Chesnut' on the Olton Golf Course.

Some people use the fruit of the horse chestnut (conkers) to make a light soap, You can find various methods of how to do this online.

My sketch was drawn on some orange and black brolly fabric.  The background frame is based on an e-processed yellow brolly fabric.
