I think I'm boringly normal, but I think my mother thinks otherwise. She's always saying, "I don't know where I got her from!"
I have two dogs called Jet and Titch, and a cockatiel called Bella. They rule me.
I am partial to both chocolate and lemon puff biscuits,and if I go out for a tipple it's usually a lager with a dash of blackcurrant cordial (I know Im common). My usual order at a restaurant would be a nice fish platter.
One of my enduring loves is the tarot which I was introduced to when I was nine years of age (thank-you Janet). They arent just packs of cards, they are old friends.
I have three kids and one grandchild. They all never cease to amaze me with all their triumphs, trials and tribulations. Life is never boring, I can tell you.
Im going to be with my husband to the death, and beyond. I'm terribly posessive.
My favourite thing apart from my tarot cards is my case of Derwent Inktense watercolour pencils. Bloody marvellous things!
I had this really strange dream last night, and this was the result. Don't ask me what it means. Very spooky and a bit surreal, but I do like the upside down faces. It may have had something to do with a sci-fi story I had been reading, with an alien in it, as well as the fact I had been drawing dragonflies for another artistic work in progress. I think theres a little Langelaan (The Fly) and Kafka influence in there as well. I think I'm evolving and transforming as an artist, and maybe that's being highlighted in this piece of work? On reflection, I think I'm going to name it Metamorphosis.
