Dear Pea,

I write this to you, as you and myself are the only ones who read this blog. It has been at least 10 years since my last confession. And yes, I still come crawling back without the cat's pajammas as I originally promised to deliver. Fail. Nevermind, today we (me and the lovely Mr Fox) launched a site for my illustration work. Both gallery and shop I will be selling greeting cards & prints upon it. Whoooweee. I still am trying to decide whether to push this blog any more publicly than beyond your dear self and me. Not sure that I am constant enough to keep it all up, I mean really who has the time for a website, Twitter, Facebook AND a blog...I might, but not the bother I fear.

Anyway, I do hope you and your trotters are keeping well.

Sincerely all my love
The Floating Bog and The Parrot's Stick

Finally I've posted some of my actual artwork. Regretably not the cat's pajammas as promised but hopefully equally as delightful to the eye.

(Left) 'The Birthday Cake' is a birthday card I made last year. It is ink and chalk on brown paper. (Right) 'The Christmas Pudding) is the card I sent around this past Christmas to friends and relatives. It is watercolour, salt and ink on watercolour paper.

I am hoping to sell prints and greetings cards of these two artworks soon. In the meantime I am planning to pull my socks up and really crack on with some illustration for the coming months. I am bouncing some ideas about with a friend on the brain trampoline as we speak.

Love
The Whining Bed & the Fluffy Tick

Something to tie you (me) over. Myself dressed as a clown. Looking fabulous.

Alright, alright I know, I know that I haven't blogged lately (and I speak to myself when I write this as I am, with exception of dear Small, the only poor sod reading this.). Honestly, I do wish it weren't called a blog, it sounds like log and then when you say you're doing a log...well.

Anyway, I will be posting some work on my log soon, really I will, when I do some work it shall be posted. I won't deny that I haven't much touched illustration since graduating last year. But my appetite is growing and eventually I will eat my entire imagination and the digestion process will release all kinds of marvels...one hopes.

Don't go away, I will be back and laden with things, frying pans, spinning tops, a boot, snacks, cats pajammas (oh there's an idea, I WILL be back with cat's pajammas definitely.) I'm thinking that I shall begin with a character project (after cat's pajammas.). Yes. YES! Then it is settled, SEE YOU IN A FEW MOONS...(correction)...SEE MYSELF IN A FEW MOONS!!!!

With love from,

Flying Shed and the Wickering Pipe

Slight teething troubles, apparently I am following my own blog.

p.p.s

I just had a thought! (nothing to do with me, these things just come to mind, one can't help it.)

Fancy this...

A pied piper popped the prune upon the lady's head and then stole her knitting sneakily. Finally in pointed boot, he galloped off with the knitting sticking out the back of his trousers.

Why the hell would anyone want a blog anyway...

...I do obviously. After harking on like a harpy about how ridiculous it is that everyone needs to be publishing what they are doing and thinking and doobeedoobeedoo, look who's talking now...ha, not so harpy now are we!

Hopeless. I need time to come to terms with what I have done.

e

p.s will be back shortly.
