Dear Y
Have you missed my postcards? I confess I have been out of sorts since Cuba, though your postcard from Heidi did cheer me a little. I have been trapped in my Turkish hotel for a few days and amused myself by sketching this card of the pattern on the bathroom tiles. I thought it would be easy but it isn't quite the likeness. Funny how much you may try to follow a line, the end result doesn't always turn out as you wished... Where have you been? I dreamt of you beside a Windmill!

My poor characters X and Y have been left floundering on their global travels with no mysterious postcards to break the monotony of airport and hotel. I have been so busy launching my new business (very exciting - click to read all about it) that I'm afraid I had to let them amuse themselves.
X does not sound herself. Clearly the incident with the Cuban heel has left a scar. Now, why is she trapped inside the hotel. Is she a prisoner? Is someone stalking her? Is she just too polite to mention an unfortunate digestive problem... (she has spent an awful lot of time in the bathroom after all!).
Reading between the lines, our heroine is not happy with her lot. Can Y save her?
Posting for The Postcard Challenge - the full back story is here (with a couple of cards that seemingly got lost in the post....).
While I've got you here - this week as I say, I launched my new business - an eCourse where we'll working through inspirational techniques to create words and pictures that sing from your soul.
I've also launched a free book group working through Keri Smith's Mess: The Manual of Accidents and Mistakes. We're going to let rip with our creativity and have a great deal of fun - I'd love it if you joined us!

The idea of the tile is a great take. Nothing worse than having to remain inside a hotel room. Cheers
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful...oh to have the time to sit in a room and sketch... pure dreams!
ReplyDeleteLove the tile. Saw a lot like that in Granada some years back! Auntie Cissie thinks it is a great idea to make a turkey next week, thanks for the tip! Valerie
ReplyDeleteLove the tile idea - very creative. Hope the reason she is captive in the hotel is exciting rather than a bad kebab!

Love your tile postcard! Good luck with your new shop!
ReplyDeleteNice drawing- and yes doing a tile is not easy- I tired to one on the back of my card but decided it did not look right so I covered it with an actual design
