Occasionally I like to try creating different things so had a dabble at creating some Greyhound Wrapping Paper. So when Spoonflower had a special offer of free shipping I decided to buy two rolls of wrapping paper. They are not the cheapest rolls of wrapping paper, but the paper quality is actually very good. Anyway I will enjoy wrapping a few gifts this year with my own paper. It may not be really Christmassy as such, but it does have the sense of giving a gift with love. I have noticed that a few people have already bought some of this design so I really hope whoever they are, that they are happy with the results.
I cannot describe how chilled to the bone my body became when I clicked on the BBC news website on Saturday 14th November morning. I was in Paris for two days in October, literally a month ago. I was sitting outside cafes and bars, eating and watching the world go by. I am so very thankful that I was not caught up in the terror, and my heart aches for all those who have lost their lives or family members. This painting was created from my trip to France and I had called it Morals. It belonged to a "homeless" (?) man on the streets of Paris, even though I kind of thought there was probably some sort of tourist scam, I simply couldn't walk on by without giving this little dog a pat and a tickl
I just received this photo of a tattoo of my Greyhound painting Today and Tomorrow. This is the second tattoo this lady now has of my work. I have told her to give my compliments to the tattooist as I think he has really got the colouring perfect and nailed it. I have quite a number of people now who have used my designs for tattoos. It really is the greatest flattery, but I am somewhat jealous as I had meant to get a tattoo myself for my 40th Birthday present, and now 42 and still not designed anything yet.
