A sweet lass called Geordie...

Getting Ready for Artwey!

Some fun hamsters I will be exhibiting with Artwey starting this weekend at the Old Town Hall ...

I turned 42 ... no joke!

I decided to make you a fun video for my birthday post, which is something me and my children enjoy doing anyway!

As well as playing with plush of course! How many pieces do you recognize?

A Pup called Bailey ...

These two pics show colour build-up on this lovely boy, he was a pleasure to create and the portrait made his owners very happy as Bailey-Dog is no longer with them ...

Also to create this work, i removed the collar for a cleaner look, and drew in the fluffy head top which was cut off from the photograph! Pet portrait, anyone?

Famous, but sad bear comes to The Raggy Rat ...

A very famous bear, well ok a slightly famous bear, has come to stay with me ... She arrived with a postcard showing her rather fabulous portrait ....

 

... and was squished inside a tiny box and sent to me by an artist with a sense of fun! She didn't look best pleased, as usual!

 

 Bear was a lot smaller than i imagined! But that's ok, she is going to come to France with me on the Dorset for Singing Tour De Normandie!

 

 More about the artist here on the back of the postcard too ...

 

Hmmm, the accommodation may need some sorting out?

 

Now Enjoy Gordon's video all about Sad Bear ...

Had some fun with some of my pictures!

A little dickie!

My mum's dad was a small man called Richard. He was so small that in fact I could quite possibly have looked down on him. This blog post is not about him however, but about this item of neck wear that I made in one afternoon for a 40th birthday party in the evening of the same day! If anyone is interested I will show you how to make one?
