Teddy Bears Picnic, Cakes, Wolf and a Poem


Three paintings from sketchbook 12
Can you spot the frog in the picture above and below?

There is no frog with the wolf, maybe he gobbled one up [do they eat frogs?]


I was sent this poem by email, thought it was cute, about a grandma and computer





 The computer swallowed grandma. 
 Yes, honestly it’s true!  
 she pressed 'control' and 'enter'  
 And disappeared from view. 
 It devoured her completely, 
 The thought just makes me squirm.
She must have caught a virus 
 Or been eaten by a worm.  
 I've searched through the recycle bin  
 And files of every kind;  
 I've even used the Internet,  
 But nothing did I find.  
 In desperation, I asked Jeeves     
 My searches to refine.  
 The reply from him was negative,  
 Not a thing was found 'online.'     
 So, if inside your 'Inbox,'  
 My Grandma you should see,  
 Please 'Copy, Scan' and  'Paste' her
 And send her back to me.  
  
   
 This is a tribute to all  the Grandmas and Grandpas who have been fearless and learned to use the computer.........   
 They are the  greatest!!!         
      
 We do not stop playing because we grow old; 
 We grow old because we stop playing  ...  
   
 NEVER Be The First To Get Old!

Childhood and Rolling Stamps 62-64


Take a Word - the challenge this week is 'childhood'.
I've used a vintage photo from my stash and a poem by Robert Louis Stevenson. The background is one of my games creations which were originally designed to be printed on fabric with a digital printer.

Three more rolling stamps, all made with fun foam. Cloth, Paper Scissors are offering a free download of the article I wrote them about rolling stamps which you can get here

Spider & Fish Sketch

a page from a sketch book - the spider was drawn with pencil & didn't show up very well so I altered it a little and the colours you see underneath are from the other side of the page, quite a nice effect I think.
