Here’s the late, great one-eyed Little Ming for this week’s #Caturday sketchbook archive, she was a very hairy tiny tortoiseshell cat that we rescued from neglect. Poor thing nearly died and spent several nights in the vet’s hospital and had to have an eye removed because her “owner” had neglected her so much. She wasContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 53”

Making Art And Cordial
I carried on cutting my latest lino block today. Nothing staggeringly interesting, just keeping on keeping on, which is how most artwork is made. Meanwhile, Husb bottled the elderflower cordial he made with the flowers we foraged (responsibly) on Sunday. There’s plenty there for family too. I like to drizzle it over home-made sponge cakeContinue reading “Making Art And Cordial”
Making Art: The Reality
The reality of making art is…you have to make it. Takes ages. I’m carving a new lino block. I’ll be carving it for quite some time.

Can you believe it’s come round again! It’s #Caturday Saturday and here’s Sparta Puss back in September 2016, “helping” me when I was sketching Husb. She likes to “help” a lot, particularly in the garden. I plant things, she pulls them back up. And clean laundry too, needs helping by being lolled upon while I’mContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 49”

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s another cat sketch from my sketchbook archives, January 2016. This is a very quick sketch as she didn’t stay still for long when she was awake back in those days. She was a mere 7 years old then, this Autumn she’ll be 17. And still as feisty as sheContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 46”
