Very pleased with myself for finding a way of  getting drawings wrapped round corks without crippling myself. It's now quick and easy and furthermore I don't stop to admire each one (!) --which had really slowed the process--

Elastic bands round bradle clamped to workbench, stretched and slid with ancient bone handled hook and Miss Hatchetts' fathers' marlin spike over the prepared cork. Now the time goes on cutting up the drawings. Easier than tearing in terms of accuracy, since most drawings are largely blank paper and its the marks I need.

Painting drying before the finishing fiddling.
