Since we passed the autumn equinox, my 100 days of cats project has taken on a positively festive feel! It wasn’t a conscious decision, just that a cold snap turned my thoughts to winter woollies and hats and scarves and then on to parties and pantomime. Above are the resulting adventures of Dick Whittington’s cat (46), a surprise party (48), butter wouldn’t melt (45) and (47) naughty Pussycat from the nursery rhyme:
Pussycat, pussycat where have you been?
I’ve been to London to visit the queen.
Pussycat, pussycat what did you there?
I frightened a small mouse under her chair.
An unexpected and interesting thing has come out of the 100 days project on Instagram: new followers are seeing the account as being about the antics of a cat named Binky McKee, as opposed to illustrations of cats by an artist named Binky McKee. I’m fine with that! I was determined to keep an open mind when I began the project, and I am happy to go along with it. I like the idea of creating a character who can tell stories on my behalf which I can post while working on other projects which can’t be shared until complete. I will most likely do Folktale Week with Binky. I had intended the 100 days project to be finished in early November, then move straight into Folktale Week, but events since the beginning of September forced a go-slow which means I will definitely still be on it during Folktale Week.
Folktale Week will be running on Instagram November 4 - 10. Fancy joining in? Search #folktaleweek to find the talented developers who initiated it last year, and look out for the prompts!
Thanks for visiting, see you next week!
