The Forest King Appears

 

 

 

 

 The Forest King, silhouetted against the trees in his domain.

The rusted iron of an old ornate fence post.

The handle of a giant's sword.

A Forest of Elf Hats

I made 18 elf hats. I realised if I stood them all up, and then lay down to photograph them, they would look like a winter forest.

This photo is the forest from the air

Ampersand - then and now

Another lino cut ampersand, providing the link between past and present.  I am pleased with the headscarf!

Dealing with loss 2

              I have been looking for a way to present haiku, and feel that a lino cut image might be it.

and then - the ampersand

I have always loved the ampersand - not least the wonderful sound of the word. It's a lively shape, and a gateway to the future. If you have access to the word AND then a story can never end.

This is my first ever linocut.
I am rather fond of the ampersand's handbag.

Poetry Reading at the Globe, Hay on Wye. 25th October

Most unusual, and rather fun - I am going to read at The Globe in Hay on Wye on Thursday 25th October - this Thursday! My presentation is called
Mythical Beasts, Haiku and Literary Knitting. 


I am looking forward to reading my poems, which are presented in seed packets, because I don't like putting poems on pages.

And I'll take Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde with me too.

 Have a look at all the great events The Globe puts on.

Alexander and Bucephalus

Here are Alexander and Bucephalus, represented by finger puppets. The horse's brown eye is visible in the photo, but the other is blue. Bucephalus was blind in one eye, which made him a little spooky when approached on his blind side. Alexander understood this of course.
