My blog of the day is these two little pictures,which I started work on this morning
Still no sign of the pebble, though, I haven't the faintest idea where it could have gone! It is such a pity, it was so lovely. Perhaps that was Mad Smithy's price - give me the beautiful pebble, and I will leave you alone! Not so much alone though, that Mad Smithy didn't spend the morning perched on my shoulders and mocking everything I did, filling my mind with self-doubt and loathing, the turpsy rag hard at work deleting everything I did, until these two slipped through, and I will tell you, the top one nearly didn't make it!
However, with huge apologies and many thanks to Tumbling and Hopping Moon who have given name to this anti-muse, I now know that Mad Smithy also stole the comma, and that is how he slipped into this world - I have his measure! Mad Smithy's place is filled with commas, muses, special pebbles, and the wick for my Rayburn. Actually, it sounds quite good over there . . .
And oh dear, why oh why cannot I slip into the real world for once! I know that dreadful things have happened out there today, and they have made me so sad. This is a blog, though, and this is what happened to me today. You see, Mad Smithy has been on my back for 20 years now, ever since I 'dropped out' of the professional Art Scene. Now there's a blog - but not for today. And maybe not ever.
But it is simply great to know that you lot are all out there, and I am so proud to be part of the PurpleCoo! I hope you are all ok and have had a lovely bank holiday weekend. I am going to catch up with some of your blogs this evening and I am so looking forward to it.
