Just a brief posting. Apologies for the absence of the Monday morning posting to anyone who needs to face the week with a dose of hilarity, a family dental emergency has stolen my time, the proper posting will appear shortly. Meanwhile to anyone who has just discovered this site: hello!
This site is a game of two halves because I am a writer and artist who makes things chiefly in porcelain and mostly dolls and dolls’ house items currently. However, this site allows me such artistic freedom that, once the core items are all present in the shop, I’ll be able to offer for sale a number of collectable and decorative items currently bursting out of my fingertips. Current categories in the shop are: big dolls, 12th scale, 24th scale and smaller and not dolls. The Not dolls category currently has oil paintings in it and there will be many more of these. It will also include the popular 24th scale bathroom sets when I get the kilns working again. Then, once I have published the backalogue there will be certainly porcelain wall hangings for full size houses and other collectable items. Postage in the shop is per parcel depending on the weight of the heaviest item. The shop is accessed by clicking on the shop button on the right. The doll glossary in the right hand column in the shop pages explains more about what I make and how I make it. Each item is individually photographed and the zoom feature added, which you can work by selecting a picture of a product in the shop and, once it comes up on your screen, playing with the buttons on the bottom right hand side of the picture. Much of the stuff I make would fit in your hand and disappear if you closed your fingers over it; the zoom feature shows you more than you could see with your naked eye unless you are as short sighted as I am.
The blogs are published about three times a week, I try to get something up for Monday morning and Friday and usually a bit of something midweek. I am first a writer and I feel peculiar if I don’t write, so the possibilities of me posting more than once a day are not remote at all. I write when I have something to say. The latest posting appears on this page and pushes all the previous postings down so if you have just discovered the site and enjoy the blogs please scroll down. At the bottom of the page there is a button to take you through to the archived blogs. You can also access the blogs in categories, detailed in the right hand column. The categories are: dolls, because I am a doll maker and have written about dolls for magazines for over fifteen years; Miniatura, the world’s best miniature art show at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, UK, twice a year that I exhibit at and have been reporting continuously longer than any other journalist; Nostalgia, because fings ain’t what they used ter be and even when they were they weren’t as good as they were before that; The parrot has landed, which is me being silly, which I do with very little encouragement, I nearly got expelled from school for forming a dirty jokes club; Werse, which is verse and worse because I was a published child poet and won prizes and still sometimes wake up with a rhyme in my head; and Brand New! Fresh! Newly Minted! Just For this blog! Huge Knockdown sale of exclamation marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Site information, because I’m making this up as I go along and I hope you’re reading it the same way and enjoying it.
So scroll down and click buttons for more of the same, make like Arnie and Be Back, and, as the late great Frankie Howerd used to say: if you’ve enjoyed it, please tell your friends!
