Something quick this week – I’m moving house and learning to commute properly. I did some pen and ink sketches with “In her hair she wore a yellow ribbon” playing in the back of my mind.
I have a suspicion my bathroom was originally these colours, but it’s been painted with white tile paint so all you can see are the raised ghosts of flowers in certain lights:
This one makes me think of bandannas:
This, of course, is from the story of the girl who would never untie the ribbon around her neck…

Did I mention I love your work? I’d love to do a children’s book with you. We’d never get it published, of course… the publishers like to use their in-house people. But I’d love to do it anyway!

Thanks so much! That goes both ways, by the way.
It could be fun…

Hmm. Okay. Very strongly tempted now… D’you have an email address? Mine: flinthartas at yahoo.com, where obviously one has to replace “at” with “@”
I read your note about no-internet-at-home yet, so take your time!
