"I recently finished building and painting a 1/32nd scale lancaster bomber. Which is now mounted on my lounge wall. It’s too huge to display on a shelf at 1m wide. "
That's impressive |

"I do lots of stuff with the kids that I work with in early years education. We made a snake for our Luna New Year display this week."
Sir Ken Robinson:
"All children are born artists. The problem is to remain an artist as we grow up."
He elaborates that traditional education systems often stifle creativity, emphasizing conformity and standardization over individuality and imagination. |

"This week I did some watercolour paintings on postcards to send to my friends...Cornish winter beach scenes. Amazingly one friend framed hers which made me feel happier in my abilities."
That's awesome  |

I write a lot of short stories, mostly erotic, or smutty, depending on how you look at it. I share them with a friend in Spain who has also been my muse for some stories.
I can't say they're very good, but I enjoy it.

"What did you create last?
Paint? Pottery? Stitch? Write?
I've recently finished a canvas and a commission on a mannequin
How do you build the mannequins? I mean what material etc"
I rescue them from shops, and I then do my art on them, the last was a ladies she had in her living room a 6ft tall headless male called Fritz 😂 |

So curious on how you got started with mannequins as a base for your art? |

I built an 80's game show day out for work colleagues... Never thought I'd have to referee Play Your Cards right....but I did
Blankety Blank produced the rudest answers ever.
Next time I'm building life sized board games |

"The last creative thing I did was a terrarium for some plants.
This I'd love. Was this your first one?"
Yeah, this was my first one so we'll see how well it goes. You had some plants I wanted to use up, but you can buy DIY kits that have everything you need online. |

😀 me too! I went down a rabbit hole when I was couch locked and doom scrolling and I became, yep I'm gonna say that word, obsessed.
I must look into the DIY kits, or try something beginner friendly first. |

"Still got to finish my Harry Styles crochet doll, bought myself a mindful colouring book and pens this week for distraction before I had surgery.

Hope the surgery goes/went well |

Designing a planting scheme for a problem area at work. There wasn't much else to do when it was snowing.
Recording terrible ukulele renditions of well known songs and sending them to some weirdo who oddly likes them. |

One area I'm definitely not creative is music, always got music on when I'm painting or writing but can't play a thing |
