I have been 'tagged' to list six unique things about me. Here goes...(don't laugh)..

1. I have matching freckles on certain areas of my body. For example, I have a freckle on my right arm which is in EXACTLY the same place as the freckle on my left arm. I also have a freckle on my left thumb which is also in EXACTLY the same place as my right thumb. I like to show lots of people these.

2. Ever since I was little I have been a bit obsessed with counting things in my head. For example if I see a sign or notice I have to count every letter, then the words, then the sides of the sign...followed by the corners and then the colours. I feel panicky if I don't end on an even number such as 10, 20 etc....that IS weird.

3. I don't know if this is very unique as I expect most artists feel like this but when I am angry or upset I feel much better if I draw. Not any drawing- I have to draw people and figures..it gives me a sense of satisfaction.

4. I have curly hair underneath the first 'layer' of hair on both sides of my head above my ears- they stick out if I don't straighten them. My sister has the same problem but I have never met anyone else with it....the hairdresser thinks it's funny anyway.

5. Ever since I can remember I have had 'spiritual experiences'. I know lots of people don't believe in these sort of things but I become very sensitive to anything like that- I can't help it and sometimes it scares me. I have seen and heard spirits before and can physically feel around my head and shoulders if something is there. I don't believe in ghostly things like 'Most Haunted' on Sky or any rubbish like that, but I believe there are people looking after us.

6. I hate beetroot- more than anything on this planet.

It's snowing!!!!!



These are some photos Matthew took when he was in Brighton- it was a cold day and I think the colours and skies in them are stunning!


Hurrah! I have finally finished and printed the new brochures and business cards for Art Garden Studios.


Okay...I know it's an awful photograph but they do look good in real life!

The brochure shows the four new limited edition prints by me ma' Claire Boyce which will be on sale for her new Spring 2007 collection.

If anyone would like a brochure to have a look at then please email me or leave a comment (they are free).

Ta ta! :-)

It's my turn.... http://www.travellingsketchbook.blogspot.com//
Happy New Year! My fancy dress party went really well and everyone managed to turn up in rather hilarious costumes. I was Madonna!
