Sometimes I get real waves of affection for my studio, and as I've been pottering about in it this weekend, I just thought I'd share some of it's ordered corners...
favorite places...
scrap-book walls...(often shipwreck newspaper cuttings...my phobia persistantly fascinates me)
car-boot cases...
mess amongst the Susie Cooper...
...and a bit more mess...
and old and new canvases waiting for new life...
...and I started putting some pylon moments into paint in a sketchbook, and when I put it up on the top Agatha Christie shelf, I discovered an old poster...Why I havn't looked after it properly is a mystery, as it was from one of my happiest acting jobs about 9 years ago.
I was in 'Comedy of Errors' at Shakespeare's Globe, and here are a couple of the charaters I played featured on the poster...
Brace yourself....
I'm sure you can imagine how thrilled I was at the prospect of wearing a fat suit throughout the summer months with not a hint of vanity...mmm!
However, the designer must have taken pity on me and gave me lipstick, curly slippers (which I still have) a pretty top and mini cymbols for the Courtesan...The fat suit was worth it...and maybe I'll share 'Fishboy' with you on another occasion!
Anyway, it made me laugh out loud this weekend...
And THIS made me absolutely scream with delight, as it was the first time I'd cooked roast pork at home (I never thought I'd ever be able to do crackling ever) and courtesy of my mother's guidance,

My mother is a wonder!
