Real Bat Skeleton Crystal Cave in Dome by EarthSeaWarrior on Etsy Every day a lot of Outside manages to get Inside our house. We are proud hosts of a Pipistrelle colony in one of the window roof sections and every so often a bat will lose its way down the chimneys and swoops around the house.
B just came in and looked at the present state of Before There Were Saturdays. He said: "it's you and me!"
B is on the left, I am on the right of this detail. That is not what the drawing is about. Oh help, now I can't get the figurative thing out of my vision. You pee in it and insert nasty objects to stuff up the witch who was harming you. Makes perfect sense, doesn't it! A part of London's rich history, and now I want to make witch bottles and x-ray them and produce images just like this.

I work a LOT in sketchbooks and always have several on the go. My dad was an architect and naval draughtsman, and after he died in 2017 I found heaps of old templates while clearing out his study. Always having been an avid collector of shapes, at the beginning of this year I bought a WHSmith A5 diary to use as a sketchbook specifically for work based on them. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

As well as the work you see here, I illustrate under the name of Binky McKee (my mother's maiden name was McKee, Binky was every single one of my great grandmother's many cats!)
If you would like to visit my Binky website, please click the picture above. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Candle-light shadows. I set up little 'night theatres' in my bedroom. As darkness falls, I light strategically placed candles and watch the plays begin. A perfect activity for the darkest days of winter.
