Day 4 of Covid and I'm not feeling so good today,

Day 4 of Covid and I'm not feeling so good today, so I'm sharing some work I did at the start of the week of these lovely Physalis or Chinese Lanterns as they are also known.

I'll probably add more to this design when I'm feeling up to it.

Going to try these antiviral drugs I think, so I'm not fighting this virus more than I need to.

Some of the flowers I love drawing most are the Ja

Some of the flowers I love drawing most are the Japanese Crysanthemum. 🏵
They are so sculptural and their big mop heads are larger than your hands.

Not too bad for a day living with covid and the never ending floral scent in my nose.

Working with my Japanese ink pens on a new greeting card design, Clematis 'Elizabeth' which seemed fitting for today.

So here I am facing the thing I've avoided for over 2 and a half years.
I was petrified about getting #Covid, I even cried on a train once travelling back from Autumn Fair at the NEC so scared about others not wearing a mask. My anxiety has been at an all time high.

But on day 2 and even though I'm in a high risk group because of immunosuppression due to Ulcerative Colitis, I'm fairing well and that is all thanks to the 4 vaccinations I've had...so let it be a lesson folks. Take up the vaccine. I have been offered antiviral drugs by the NHS but so long as I continue to feel alright I'm going to power through it. Anyone with chronic UC will know you become a fighter.

The weirdest thing I've experienced is Phantosmia. Every now and then I get a strong smell of flowers, like a bouquet of lilies and it comes and goes. It's most peculiar.

Fingers crossed I get no worse. I'm working from home as usual. Stay safe everyone.

It's also time to fetch my heated vest back out to keep warm. Isn't it really Autumnal already?! Sidney and I got drenched on our walkies. Quite a shock to the system.

We're walking in the air.....

So sad to hear the news today of the passing of another of my earliest influences in illustration, story making and animation, Raymond Briggs CBE. I will never forget the tears I cried at the end of The Snowman.

What a legacy to leave behind. The magic of his work will never fade.

I've been really looking forward to today as my redundant conservatory is coming down and work on my new Studio begins!

Having always run my business from home means it's taken over most rooms. I have two stock rooms and an office which is currently my living room too so I can't wait to stretch out and have a proper space for our desks!

Today is World Rainforest Day,🌱 so to celebrate, here are a couple of examples of creatures you might find in the diversity of the forest.
The three-toed sloth has to be my favourite, simply because they take all the time in the world to do everything.
