mad busy


i've been super-busy this week with a deadline for a super-secret project...i'll tell you details and give you peeks at a later date. so now i'm at a weird loose end after a really frenetic few days...the kids are at school, i'm enjoying a bit of daytime tv and i'm waiting for ups to pick up the aforementioned super-secret artwork and whisk it away to it's new home.

in other events...yesterday, my mum unearthed her wedding pics and in amongst them was this amazing wedding greeting telegram from the 1970's. how gorgeous is the above illustration? so lovely. on closer inspection, it's a piece of work by albany wiseman, a well regarded watercolourist. i did a search and found out that he has illustrated a children's book called tommy atkins in the great war. i'm thinking this might tie in nicely to this weekend's trip to the imperial war museum with the boys...it's frank's choice, he's obsessed with london. the other thing he wants to do is visit the globe theatre. do i have another shakespeare on my hands?

the weekend in pictures

we went to the big smoke for the weekend and had a wonderful time! highlights below....

there was some horse-riding...

some bus riding...

some sightseeing...

and some big ben spotting.

all in all a fun time was had by all...and i haven't even mentioned the ice-skating, the boat trip, the huge amounts of tea and cake consumed and the museums visited! now it's back to the real world and lots of sketchbooks to make and orders to fill. ah well, it was a nice break while it lasted, hope your weekend was just as exciting and fun filled! :)
