The book that Dorrie was presented at the Camp Hill School for Girl's for Drawing became the inspiration for some of her designs. This is seen by the listing on the inside page of brooches and earrings, as shown below.

This can further be seen on the pages of the books themselves. The illustration above shows page 85 rotated 180° with Dorrie's annotations to the book illustration. Midgley W Lilley AE. (1907) A book of studies in Plant Form and Design. Enlarged edition London: Chapman & Hall.
