Sparta Puss, our 14 year old Naughty Tortie, is a bit of a rampaging murderous scourge of anything smaller than her that moves. Worse than that, she brings her prey into the house. People tell us she’s bringing us ‘presents’ but you know, I’d rather go without her little gifts. The worst thing of allContinue reading “The Welsh May Cat: Y Gath Mis Mai…”

Elder Heads: 4
The last in my short series of Elder Heads, all women and all showing great strength in the lines draw across their faces by life and experience.
Elder Heads: 3
And another hastily scribbled head of an elderly woman. She looks like she has had the cares of the world on her for many years. Graphite into a Khadi hand-made paper sketchbook.
Elder Heads: 2
Another scribble of an older person, as we get older we often look more like the opposite sex and it can be hard to tell elder men and women apart without cues like clothing, jewellery, make-up. I’ve used a graphite block into a Khadi handmade paper sketchbook.
Elder Heads: 1
I guess it’s my age, I get to go places where there are lots of elders these days. I used to go places where there were lots of younger people. When I was younger LOL 😀
Price Of Change.
Husb and I went to the theatre the other week – ooh there’s posh isn’t it?! We saw a new play by Contemporancient Theatre, Price Of Change. It’s about the 18th Century Welsh philosopher and mathematician, Dr. Richard Price of Llangeinor in the Garw Valley. He is hardly known here in his own country, weContinue reading “Price Of Change.”
Graphite Not Messiness.
I’ve nearly finished cutting this little lino block and I want to check how it’s getting on, without inking it up. Instead, I used a graphite block and pieces of tissue paper and took rubbings of different bits of the lino. It gives me a pretty good idea of what else needs to be done,Continue reading “Graphite Not Messiness.”
Laid Out Ready …
I did some more cutting into my little lino block this afternoon. I laid it out on the bench hook before I began, with my smallest Flexcut gouge, the Flexcut Strop and Flexcut Gold Polishing Compound.
Reflections In The Old Guildhall.
Husb and I were having a stroll on one of the few sunny days so far this year. I took this photo of reflections in the windows of the historic Old Guildhall in Swansea. It’s pre-Victorian and after the New Guildhall was built in the 1930s it became a school and changed again towards theContinue reading “Reflections In The Old Guildhall.”
An Urban Screenprint Reflected.
I was strolling along Princess Way in Swansea last evening and saw this gorgeous reflection of Saint Mary’s Church and some trees in the glass frontage of a building. I took a photo and today I uploaded it into Adobe Photoshop, cropped it and shoved it into a “Cutout” filter. I like it, it hasContinue reading “An Urban Screenprint Reflected.”
