  Still working on the kids book... Now it is a VW camper. I have wondered if my illustrations are too detailed. But they are how I draw - I just hope they go with the writing... Sorry the photo is bad but we have storms here and it is effecting the light badly.

The book has made it - right on time the proof has hit the mat. There ae issues already but they are all easy fixes. I'm surprised it is as small as it is but happy that it is a good-looking book. Now it is with the editor - let's see what she makes of… Continue reading It’s here

I have started to illustrate one of the three childrens books that I have written. Oddly, each was for a competition and all got to 'almost' stage and then fell to the wayside.

The people’s choice…

June 23, 2016 KateLeave a comment

I am in the next 'Twisted Tales' anthology and as part of the publication there is a people's choice. Basically the people [you] can vote on any one of the 34 pieces of flash fiction. One of those 34 is 'Sky' - my story. So have a read and then go to the survey and… Continue reading The people’s choice…

I'm pleased. Thank you to Ashton and Sharnie for agreeing to be my models - two brilliant cousins. And it is finished but as it is going for a competition I will share the completed piece once it is up, or not... Everything is crossed that it will get picked though. If you were wondering… Continue reading The portrait…

Unidentified Fungus

We have an odd fungi growing in the garden. I have called him Bob and he is staying where he is because I know nothing about fungi. He might be poisonous...

I'm having another go and it is looking good... Sorry about the quality of the photo - we are having thunderstorms here and it is a bit dull in the workshop.

When a day can go from bad to worse

June 15, 2016 Kate2 Comments

It's raining which isn't a bad thing, but it has made the workshop cold. And as it is summer I refuse to put the heating on so I am in my winter jumper. The rain and cold suits my mood though. I was out at the weekend. Didn't really think anything of it. Simply came… Continue reading When a day can go from bad to worse
