Fishy on a dishy


Would the fiend that stole my energy and ran off with my Muse please return both at once. It really was most rude of you to just show up uninvited. Can you believe, one mention of the word dancing and the Muse was flicking her hair and prancing out the door. Before I could close the door in disgust, I realised she'd shoved the last of my oomph into my best handbag and taken that too. Ahh. I think that perhaps an early night is all I can hope for.

I hope she has a good time and returns refreshed. I tried creating without her this evening, but I miss her chatter. Three attempts at creating a fish painting (for the Inspiration Avenue challenge) later and I retire wounded.

Instead, I present a picture from last year. A homage to fishies wrapped in newspaper. I'm thinking Whitby on a blustery evening, hair blasted into your mouth - salt spray adding the final seasoning.

  1. I know she will return soon and be refreshed. I hate it when this happens, but it seems to happen every now and again. I like you fish pic very much.

  15. I continue to love visiting your blog! Muse gone or not, you are delightfully witty and manage to make even a down day for you
    D e l i g h t f u l for us. This fishy picture is lovely - reminds me of the public market in seattle where they toss fresh fish back and forth with such style that it has become a tourist attraction! Have a mo' betta' day!

    Smiles!

  18. I love how you used the bubble wrap for scale prints, It came out beautiful.
    im inspired to make mermaids with a little someone tonight.
    See your muse is still around, shes just spreading herself around a bit thinly! haha

    Do you own a moon calender?? some days are not ment to be creative, its good to know of so you dont feel the failure as your own. Its the moon...not you!, great for predicting childrens moods too!

  20. I adore this fish montage. Beautiful shades and the printmaking is wonderful. You're right - it is evocative of Whitby and the sea-breezes blowing through those tiny gimlets.
