Hello Lovlies,<br />
Looks like my Little Mojo is back. Drum roll please.....I am happy to introduce Miss Tilly Tiny.<br />
<br />
Miss Tilly Tiny took a stroll in the woods today and bumped into a giraffe. The silly giraffe was playing hide and seek but she couldn't remember who with. Miss Tilly Tiny pointed out that the giraffe was in fact a giraffe, to which the giraffe replied...<br />
<br />
I love to play drafts...<br />

My Fun and Nonsense Art Bunker and everyone at Shelf Corner has been packed and stored for the house move this week. A few of Shelf Corners residence have already been installed at their new temporary Shelf Corner. Only essential art materials have not been packed. <br />
Other news...recently I did Lilla Rogers Global Talent Search 2014. The assignment was Terrarium, which I loved doing. A tiny world captured in a jar, just up my street. I did three, the first one is the one I submitted. I didn't make the cut but seeing the talent that did, I'm not surprised. Following that I signed up for MATS. Make Art That Sells.<br />
<br />
One more sleep till class opens for MATS A. I'm excited and nervous, usual first day butterflies. My class mates are a seriously talented bunch of girlies and one London Lad. Can't wait to get going and learn learn learn from the best.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi everyone,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I signed up for <a href="http://lillarogers.com/">Lilla Rogers Global Talent Search 2014</a>. Lilla Rogers is an international illustration agent representing artists all over the world.<span style="color: #231f20;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"> The real Mccoy. </span></span>I ummed and ahhed for days. Should I, shouldn't I? Who do I think I'm kidding, I'm no where near good enough to compete at that level. I mean, I only got as far as A 'level art at school (I did get a B, just saying) before deciding that a career in art was totally out of my reach. I didn't go to art college, I don't have a degree...in anything. I have, however, been teaching art to a whole school of 44 pupils for the last 5years. Also a good number of you who read my blog and have supported me over the years have bought my artwork. That has to count for something.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The bottom line is, I just love to draw and paint. A fish needs water, we need air and I need to paint, every day. It is as simple as that.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I gave myself a metaphorical slap and kick up the ol' jacksy. What do I have to lose. Absolutely nothing. One of two things will happen. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. I don't go through to round two</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> or</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. I DO :))))))</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now at least I'm in the running. It feels a bit like buying a Lottery Ticket. All that dreaming and hoping till the numbers get drawn. My insecurities are sneering and jeering at me and my "bloody minded" self is gathering ammo. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ammo, comes in the shape of my mood board above. I've been playing with colours and sketching succulents and seed heads. The first assignment is due by the 18th August. My butterflies are in full frenzied flight...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Will post my entry after the 18th. Wish me luck!!! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And good luck to everyone that is taking part. It's a fantastic opportunity...that's my wobbly Fun and Nonsense for today :) xx</span></div>

Suzi Mong and her dragon Yunlong flew into my sketchbook this week. They are Dream Catchers. They gather dreaming dust from thunder clouds and then sprinkle it round the world to sleepy children. I always thought it was the Sandman that brought the dreams...<br />
<br />
With all the thunderstorms we are having at the moment there must be a lot of dreaming going on...<br />
<br />
That's my Fun and Nonsense for the this evening, Sweet dreams everyone :) xx<br />

Bonjour, good day and hi, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The lovely<a href="http://susannahill.blogspot.com/"> Susanna Leonard Hill</a> is running a competition for illustrators this month and as you can imagine I jumped straight in. Last month Susanna ran a short story competition and there were 10 winners, you can r<span style="font-family: inherit;">ead their st</span>ories <a href="http://susannahill.blogspot.fr/2014/03/march-madness-writing-contest-finalists.html">here</a>. The illustrators competition is to illustrate an 8x10 book cover for one of those stories... or more...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I choose, actually the story choose me... "<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;">The Princess And The Stinky Cheese</span><span style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;">" </span><span style="line-height: 18.479999542236328px;">by </span><a href="http://www.laurimeyers.com/" style="line-height: 18.479999542236328px;">Lauri Meyers</a><span style="line-height: 18.479999542236328px;">.</span><span style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;"> </span><span style="line-height: 18.479999542236328px;">I love love love Princesses ( I am one ) and the gooyier the runnier and stinkier the cheese I'm your gal. Laurie's story jumped up and down and waved it's arms about and shouted to me to illustrate it...it wouldn't take no for an answer. So there you have it, my illustration of Princess Peabody and the stinky cheese. Then there was <a href="http://mikeallegra.com/">Mike Allegra</a> who in the comments section, jumped up and down and waved his arm about shouting "pick "<b><a href="http://mikeallegra.com/2014/03/21/goldilockup/"><span style="color: black;">Goldilockup"</span>,</a></b> MY, story to illustrate". What could I do... I couldn't ignore a writers' desperate plea, so I whipped out my box of paints and charged to the challenge. </span></span></span></div>

I'm glad to report that my little Mojo is back. She went off <span style="text-align: left;">on a round the world cruise just before Christmas, without so much as a by your leave. She didn't even send me a postcard or a text to say she was ok and when she would be back. She finally made it back to my Art Bunker early this week and everyone at Shelf Corner, especially me, is very happy to see her.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I knew Mojo was on her way back when earlier this week I was commissioned to do a logo. One of my girlies and a cotton reel was the brief... I have a big mushy soft spot for cotton reels, especially the old fashioned wooden ones. So I whipped out my old wooden reels and started sketching...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
...as I sketched, my little Mojo came hurtling back suitcases full to bursting point with ideas. She plonked herself down and started to tell me about all the wonderful places she has visited over the last couple of months. (Umpf, alright for some).</div>

A friend of mine became a Granny last week and I wanted to paint something for the new baby. Baby's Mum is a dressmaker...so cotton reels and teddy bears seemed just the thing... very happy to say that the sparkle is back. Lets hope it stays for awhile... :)</div>
<br />
That's my Fun and Nonsense... off to paint more cotton reels and baby teddy bears... :)<br />

Hello, grab a cuppa and sit yourself down by the fire. It's been cold and wet here and it doesn't look like it's going to change anytime soon.<br />
<br />
Pickle (my office chair pinching cat) and I had been cooped up all day last Wednesday due to the terrible weather we've been having. We had just been moaning about the rain when there was a nano second of sunlight that burst through the clouds so we decided to stretch our legs and wonder to the bottom of the garden. (Pickle desperately need to have a tinkle too). Anyway, at the bottom of the garden is a small wood and Pickle wanted to show me some very unusual mushrooms that she had found. She says that the fairies use the pinky reddy flat ones as flooring for their homes. They are cut into strips and polished with beeswax to bring out the colours. Wow just imagine.. :) She has no idea about the other one but it's an odd mushroom.<br />

<br />
While we were rooting and scratching about down there we bumped into Miss Loveday Catkin, she'd been out to gather some acorns and invited us in for a cup of mint tea. Pickle told me that she spends most of her days curled up in front of Loveday's stove when I'm out at work (and there I was worried that she was out in the cold and rain). Loveday and I had a lovely chat, mostly about the books she has on her shelf. All too soon it was time to head back up the hill home. But, I'll be back.. :)<br />

A couple of days later I was in my kitchen just about to drink my tea when a teacup mermaid popped up to say hello. She had heard that I was going to be 50 and wanted me to make sure to save her some birthday cake. On Saturday the 25th of January I turned 50 which is fine...I just totally ignore the "0" which leaves "5"...a perfect age to be... :) xx</div>

Hello everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
January is a funny old month and I don't mean funny haha but funny peculiar. I always feel flat in Jan, probably because the weather is naf, cold and wet, I also get one year older in Jan (always a joy :(). And this year the weather fairies have pulled out all the stops and are busy draining their pools onto our heads... :( and I turn 50, yay. My wellies are well and truly worn in and my brolly is as happy as Larry to be out and about so much. I, on the other hand just want to jump into my little Gypsy Caravan and head off to the sunshine and, a deserted island thrown in, would be just the ticket.</div>

Hello everyone,<br />
My Christmas was quiet and New Year celebrations even quieter...which suited Mr Hollywood and I just fine. Neither of us felt like dancing the light fandango till all hours, so we happily snored our way through the New Year and got up on the 1st feeling great, which was a first... :)<br />
<br />
Shelf corner has been host to a little Panto, it being Panto season and all. Little Red Riding Hood and Alice have been bossing Wolf and Rabbit about all week. Rabbit wanted to be Wolf and hide behind the oak tree and scare everyone. The girls however were not impressed by Rabbits impression of Raving Rabbids so Wolf got the Wolf part and Rabbit sulked off down his hole. After that Rabbit was given the Prima Donna role so now we have one happy bunny... :)<br />
<br />
That's my Fun and Nonsense for this week... what Fun and Nonsense has been going on in your world... :)<br />

I started with one little girl, then there were two little girls and now there are three little girls and one ugly duckling. All three of them and duckling like to ask questions. </div>
<br />
Q. Why is my Christmas tree not up yet?<br />
A. Probably because it's still tired from last year and is having a lie in.<br />
<br />
Q. Why do Christmas tree lights never work the following year?<br />
A. It's their way of telling you that they don't like being put away in a dark cupboard.<br />
<br />
Q. How is Father Christmas going to get down the chimney when there isn't one in the house?<br />
A. I'll draw him a picture and as he's magic...oh, he's Father Christmas, he'll figure it out.<br />
<br />
Q. Why do we have roast turkey at Christmas?<br />
A. Because it's the only time of the year I can catch a whole one.<br />
<br />
<br />
These little darlings will be staying with me until the New Year. Then they will be up for sale to go to a new home and bug someone else with all their Fun and Nonsense questions... ;) xx<br />

Desktop Primary School is getting ready for the annual Nativity. Old stripy curtains and tea towels are being hunted down for shepherd costumes, any velvety plush ones are being reserved for the King's, of course. Darling little angels are ransacking the Christmas decorations for tinsel. Joseph and Mary are arguing about which one of them is going to hold Baby Jesus. Angel Gabriel's Mum is insisting that her Angel Charmaine, should have the bigger more glittery wings as she does have a starring role. She doesn't think that last years wings can be reused so has decided that she'll have the wings made by some designer she knows....</div>

My young neighbours Josh and Ben thought it would be a good idea to take Dolly the sheep along for dress rehearsals. "We're the shepherds" said Josh "and theperds need sheeps" added Ben. </div>

Hello everyone, Pockets (my pocket sized Scottie) and I are beginning to get things ready for Christmas. I like to make most of my presents and Pockets keeps me company, lending a paw here and there. Today we've been in Christmas card mode...<br />

It won't be long now till we will be trotting down to the post box to send our cards... :) xx<br />

I decided to keep with the Lowry theme but I'm a London girl so I drew the place I call home. London. That's where I grew up. I love London, I love the hustle and bustle and I love the smell. It's a city smell, car fumes, tarmac, dust and all sorts of foody smells. I haven't lived in London for years but every time I stand on Westminster Bridge and look at Big Ben I know I'm home. Every time I see a red telephone box or red London bus it time warps me back to when I was a young(er) girl.</div>

Hello...sorry I've been a bit quiet this week. A nasty little Tummy Bug captured me and held me hostage for a day and it has taken me all week to get over the unpleasant experience.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wasn't really in the mood to use my brain (seeing as it was feeling fragile after the whole Bug thing) I decided to copy a masterpiece. Copy is putting it a little strongly as you can see.</div>

Shall we say I was Lowry inspired. I really enjoyed walking into that painting. The girl with the red bow was all dolled up and off to meet her boyfriend. The little boy was on his way home from school but first he was going to go into Mr Wibbley's grocery shop to buy some sweeties. (Blackjacks and Fruit salad - hehe who remembers those?). One girl was off to her art class and the others had lost their little dog and were looking everywhere for him. I do hope they find that dog...<br />

That's my Fun and Nonsense....there's a storm raging here so I'm off to see everyone at <a href="http://www.bluechairdiaryillustrations.com/">Sunday Sketches</a>... :)<br />

Hello, grab a cuppa, a slice of cake and take a pew dears...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Here in my art bunker, there is the town of Desktop with it's colourful neighborhood of Sketchbook (all sorts of Fun and Nonsense goes on in there). Up on the hill you'll find the village of <a href="http://catherine-constance.blogspot.fr/2013/04/home-is-where-you-hang-your-chandelier.html">Shelf Corner</a> and in the valley the teeny tiny hamlet of <a href="http://catherine-constance.blogspot.fr/2013/10/lurking-under-my-desk.html">Underdesk</a>. Not to mention the traveling circus that has spilled out of Sketchbook (all to do with the <a href="http://catherine-constance.blogspot.fr/2013/10/this-week-i-signed-up-for-micki-wildes.html">White Deer</a> appearance) they are still causing quite a whoha. It's chaos here most of the time with comings and goings. Anyway, this very afternoon there was a lull in the toing and frowings, a delicious quiet moment.<br />
<br />
So I decided to get a bit of sketching done (all part of my <a href="http://taralazar.com/2013/10/25/pre-pibo-day-1-leeza-hernandez">PiBoldMo</a> pledge). I asked Bur Wood to pose for me. Bur is Desktop's resident top male model. Between modeling contracts he doubles up as a lumber jack, which entails sharpening my pencils. The office girls, Cigar smokin Maud, Beryl and Thing wanted to model too. More the merrier I said and everyone took to their positions.<br />
<br />
I was sketching my lovely models when in the distance we heard the 4 o'clock Tea Train pull into Art Bunker Station. Oh lovely I said, we'll stop for a short break. Well, not only was there the delivery of tea and cake but also a new arrival to Desktop...<br />

"Miss Hubba Hubba" - Bur said with his wooden jaw dropping with a clunk. The office girls (except cigar smokin Maud) were agog. They had never seen anyone so pretty. Miss Hubba Hubba's real name is Kooki Kimono. She's a writer and wanted to apply for the job I had advertised in The Paper for, A Writer.<br />

When little witches and bunnies get ready for Halloween</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A sight the like you've never seen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The washing comes out, rub and scrub and dub a dub dub,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The moths take flight, what a hub bub.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Black cats howl and robin's scowl,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Watchout!...something spooky, is on the prowl,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh, it's only Mr Owl.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The cauldron is polished and ready to bubble,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The broom, the broom is all of a muddle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pumpkins, bats and little black hats, dance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Twirling and swirling around and around, to the sound of a witches cackle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Moon is shining bright and white and full and stoic</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone is ready for a night of trick or treating, sweets and magic.</div>

Little Miss Farm girl came to play with <a href="http://catherine-constance.blogspot.fr/2013/10/little-miss-hopi.html">Little Miss Hopi</a>. Both of them are now in my dining room. The girls chat away telling me which colours to mix and what looks good and what doesn't. We have been working on a very large canvas. Hence why we trickled out of the small art bunker into the dining room. The painting on the large canvas started out as one thing and has totally morphed into something completely different. I find that happens a lot when I'm using acrylics.</div>
<br />
Sometime this week the girls and I will have to turn the dining room back into a dining room. The art bunker will have to be tidied again. My art supplies will have to squeeze themselves into small dark corners or possibly hide in the garage. That's a very scary thought. Why, I hear you ask.....welll, The estate agent is coming to look at the house, which means that from now till we find a buyer, we will have to pretend that this is a show-house and no-one, no-one at all lives here. <br />
<br />
That's my Fun and Nonsense for today...but shhhhhh I'm not here... :) xx<br />
ps. Am going to see if I can hide some stuff at <a href="http://www.bluechairdiaryillustrations.com/">Sunday Sketches</a>.. :)<br />
