Custard Cream Rug - complete

All done. Very pleased with the result, but have gone off the idea of doing another biscuit next. I need to think of a nice brightly coloured, bold idea - maybe a logo or something. You suggestions please.


Sewing the strip around the edges on the back took about 5 evenings, but really helps hold it altogether and hopefully will mean it lasts long enough to become a family heirloom (unless anyone wants to buy it).

New apprentice

Johnny is 2 years and 2 months now, and is enjoying his felt tips a lot. We draw around stuff, make train tracks, and if I draw a partial cat he'll finish it off with legs, eyes and whiskers. He puts his pen in his other hand to draw whiskers on the other side of the face. Here you can also see Bob the Builder with eyes and a mouth. My child is so talented blah blah blah..........

Workshops brochure

Did I ever post this? Maybe, but here it is again - the brochure I send/hand out to teachers and schools, in the hope that I can continue buying secondhand books by working for a living. It's printed using the risograph machine at MARC the printers in Manchester, who are dead cheap and very capable.
Click to enlarge, as they've come out a bit small on screen.

Up and Trotting

The preview issue of Comical Animal went out yesterday to great fanfare - take a look on the site. I'm pretty pleased with it, and have learnt quite a lot about what shape it should take, so I'm confident that the December issue is going to be even better. 79 subscribers so far, though I'd like at least 500 by the next one, and a couple more animal adopters would be good.
