illo packed


illo conkers, originally uploaded by Champignons.

Ok I have finished this picture (well, it's a journal page, and I haven't written in it, but that's probably a good thing and no one should see the innermost workings of my mind) but here are some conkers, to remind you of childhoods unpacking them from their spiky casing to find the biggest shiniest conker for playground domination (after coating it in epoxy resin, or vinegar, if you do not have a chemist fro a father)
