This trio of ladies singing and humming evolved from character studies for a leading lady in the children's book I am working on, and I am sure it came from the current lack of hairdressing facilities! I got into the details of the different hairstyles in a big way, as my own hair grows more out of shape and shaggy in not a good way every day. It was a bit of fun which provided something to post on Instagram.

Spring is here, making our daily lockdown walk in the park an absolute pleasure. The wind has been cold but it's warming up a little and the sight, of budding and blossoming and shooting and sprouting is wonderful. 
Back home to work after this! I actually haven't got much to write about this week, I'm just keeping my head down and beavering away at illustrations as usual, I am really looking forward to being able to share them here.

The children's book illustrations are going well, I'm getting very excited for the time I can finally share them. I also try to add something new to my Redbubble store every day, even if it's just a post card; this week I made this mandala tattoo design and love how it looks on the products.

I had imagined I would have lots of time on my hands and get lots of work done in these extraordinary times of lockdown against the spread of coronavirus. It is true that reduced traffic outside brings peace and tranquility, but ironically I have never been more social. People having unexpected time on their hands means much more Face Time calls and get togethers on Zoom, as we bring one another cheer and chat to those who are in isolation. B and I have been more regular than ever dog walking as our 'one-a-day outdoors exercise' walk. Shopping takes so much longer because of social distancing measures in the shops, followed by cleaning down all the purchases when they come into the house. I have actually been forced out to the shops more often than usual; normally we would get two home deliveries a week, but now so many people are working from home that high demand on delivery slots makes it difficult to get one.

I did, however, spend a few days this week on my Redbubble store, continuing to make greetings cards, post cards and pin buttons from my 100 cats project, plus refreshing old patterns and adding a couple of new ones to decorate the products.

Thanks for visiting, keep well, and see you next week!
