I went on a short course at Swansea Print Workshop this weekend led by the artist Dr. Veronica Calarco. It’s called “Prints To Baskets” and she shows how to reuse those failed prints (we all have them) by converting them into hand-made baskets. This is a selection of those made by the artists participating. TheContinue reading “A Little Hairy Basket…”

A Year Gone Already?!
Suddenly a year has gone by and the Swansea Fringe is upon us again! I’ve been sketching last night and this at some of the Rock venues. I’m tired now! All rocked out! More to come…
#Caturday Saturday
It’s #Caturday Saturday once again, don’t the weeks rush by quickly? Here’s Sparta Puss all cwtched on a blankie on a giant cushion on the window seat, posing in front of some brilliant sunflowers.
#Caturday: Almost Together.
It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s a photo of Bill (William ChatNoir) in the foreground and Sparta Puss in the background, just a metre or so from each other. Bill’s on the bed, Sparta Puss on the window seat and both are trying very hard to ignore each other. It’s been 14 months since weContinue reading “#Caturday: Almost Together.”
#Caturday – The Chunky One.
I know it’s late 😀 Yesterday was one of those hectic days – nice though. So here’s an analytical sketch of the chunky one – Sparta Puss, our naughty tortie. An analytical sketch is one that tries to analyse the shapes and get used to what’s going on before developing further. I’ll probably do 2Continue reading “#Caturday – The Chunky One.”
#Caturday Saturday.
Here’s our little rescue cat, Bill AKA William Chat Noir formerly Phoebe. She was very timid and depressed when she came to us, just over a year ago. She was 14 years old, her human had passed and she was handed into a rescue centre. She had been with her human since she was aContinue reading “#Caturday Saturday.”
#Caturday Saturday.
And for this week’s #Caturday, here’s Sparta Puss in Violet and Orange. She’s been very naughty today, leaned across my lap and licked my ice cream, tried to murder me on the stairs (lurking), pooped on the throw that covers her cushion. So today has been a Naughty Tortie Caturday.
#Caturday Saturday: The Visitor.
It’s #Caturday and this is a local handsome boi who pops around for a visit every few weeks. He stops by for a chat (he’s very vocal) and receives some snacks before going on his way again. He seems very well cared for, I think he’s just a bit of a wanderer who likes toContinue reading “#Caturday Saturday: The Visitor.”
#Caturday Saturday Archives: 2
It’s #Caturday Saturday and here are some archive images that I posted in January and March 2012, just a few months after I started this blog. They’re mostly Sparta Puss but there’s one of the late, great and much loved ‘Bobbit‘, another short-haired naughty tortie who died in 2011 at the age of 18.
Inspired By…
I am inspired by the Miners Wives from the 1984-1985 strike. And also by the radical printmaker Paul Peter Piech, whose lino and woodcut prints advocated for social justice. As well as larger complex, often coloured, linocuts for exhibitions, he also produced many small, simpler black and white prints that could be sold more cheaply,Continue reading “Inspired By…”
