I know it’s only the start of the week... but is

I know it’s only the start of the week... but is it Friday yet? I’m so tired tonight - I fell asleep at the computer while in Photoshop! Sometimes, we need to just stop and listen to our bodies... despite the need to create, one too must rest. So, I’m just chilling with a chamomile tea before bed. Corbin reminded me that chilling out is important too!

Jeremy is at it again! 🍵 🫖 He has had his head in his tea pantry for over an hour now, undecided as to which flavour tea to choose for tonight’s supper! This is a regular occurrence for this serious tea connoisseur... hopefully he’ll have selected his flavour soon before his kettle needs reboiling! Come on Jeremy! Are we there yet? 😂 Honestly, does it take you this long to select a tea? I have a heap of tea varieties in my pantry, but I only take a minute or two to decide! Poor Jeremy, time management is not his forte when decisions involve a cup of tea!!!!

“We’ve had a fun morning, but I can tell that

“We’ve had a fun morning, but I can tell that you are getting tired, Ettie. It’s time to go home for lunch and a nap,” explained Blanca to the young Mandrake.
“But the sun is still awake?” sulked Ettie. “I’m NOT going to bed! I want to stay awake and play!” she demanded.
“Well we can play after your afternoon sleep, can’t we?” Blanca reassured. Ettie pouted and looked at her Mum with those big soft eyes, hoping that she would give in and change her mind.

Meet little orphan, Leyson, a sweet baby fox cub.

Meet little orphan, Leyson, a sweet baby fox cub. She was found hiding and sobbing in a hollow log in the forest by Miss Ettie, Faye, Mikka and Leia. Ettie was the only one able to console the little soul. Leyson finds great comfort in Ettie’s arms and Ettie treats her like a teddy bear - the two cannot get to sleep without snuggling up together each night! Swipe to see her with her best friend Ettie!

Meet Mandrake, little Miss Ettie and her little fox, Leyson. Now aren’t they just a cute pair? Ettie is a sweet girl at heart, but can be a little aloof or sulky if she does not get her way. Being so young and enjoying freedom of movement, Ettie becomes over-tired quickly after running around and playing. At times, she can throw a ‘mighty good tantrum’ and her friends can find this quite a challenge! Don’t you just love her little face – her pout and her expression? Adorable and Attitude all rolled into one!

My Knight Frey is my biggest character and has his very own display cabinet! He is as big as an 18 month old child when standing! But.... his Maori War Canoe pictured in this image is so small in real life by comparison (swipe to see them together). It’s so much fun using items of various sizes and bringing them together to create the magic and bringing an image idea to fruition. What do you think of this storytelling image? I’m what feelings and thoughts does it conjure up in your mind?

Knight Frey makes his way down the Claire River to visit friends in the Hygge Province and surprise them at dawn (just in time for breakfast😉)! As his friends are tucked away sleeping, Frey enjoys the calmness on the water, the moon and the sparkles of moonglade to guide the way through the meandering river.

Meet Kasper – a happy and content Cheshire Cat. He is a carpenter by trade, but when he’s not building or repairing items for his friends in Swevenia, you can find him sitting by the riverbank (or in his canoe) with a fishing rod in hand! He loves the Hygge lifestyle and enjoys his solace and time on the water fishing.

Meet one of my new characters, ‘Dwade Khan’, a vampire bat and avid nyctophile!

In fact, “Dwade” means ‘Dark Traveller,’ but he’d much prefer to tell you that his surname, “Khan,” means ‘Prince’! Dwade resides in the north east of Swevenia in the Noctavigant Province in the Nipan Caves. Can he be trusted? But, he does have have such a charming face? ...just remember, looks can be deceiving! What do you think of Mr Dwade Khan?

A close-up of my NEW IMAGE, “In Memory of Poppa

A close-up of my NEW IMAGE, “In Memory of Poppa Max.” The personality of my character, Old Mr Wellington, is based on my beautiful Poppa, Max. I photographed my Poppa’s Hat, Pipe, old Tobacco Tin and his signature Owl teaspoon to use in this scene with Mr Wellington. It was a joy to recreate how I saw Poppa, by putting his hat on Wellington’s head. In addition, adding the pipe and tobacco tin to Wellington’s hands, made me feel Poppa was close-by. This image has a nostalgic feel to me. My Poppa used to love savouring a coffee, complimented with some ‘rock buns’, while listening to the ABC news talk back radio and reading the newspaper with a magnifying glass! This is one of my many treasured memories of him.

In this scene, Wellington is at home, with two rock buns waiting on the table, his pipe and tobacco and talk back radio on in the background… he looks over at the stove when he hears the billy whistling and boiling… bring on a well-earned afternoon coffee! ☕️

This is one of my favourite images! I really love making these types of storytelling artworks and bringing my little characters to life! It’s so worth the time and effort when the result is something I can share that represents what I originally dreamed it would be in my mind’s eye. Thank you all for following my characters and artwork! I always love to hear your comments and thoughts or feelings about the images! I’m very excited, this week I have four new characters arriving and I feel like a little child waiting for an early Christmas already!!!! I can’t wait to share them with you all some time soon! Have a fantastic week ahead everyone!
