Finally! I’ve been working on this for about a thousand years, so I’m delighted that it’s done and I now have a slightly more slick blog layout. It’s nice and simple and the pictures are 1oopx bigger than before. I’m really happy with it and it should all work in all browsers, but please let me know if anything looks wack to you.
The paintings are for my new portfolio website (which I’m putting the finishing touches to in the next few days, exciting) too!
“The sugared almonds were in a box and wrapped in cellophane and tissue paper and had three different coloured ribbons tied around them in a bow. Lewis had never seen anything like it in his life.
‘Happy Birthday,’ said Alice, then, conspiratorially, ‘It’s sweets.’
The only sweets he’d seen were in paper bags and smeary jars. There were no boxes, there was no having fun about them. This box was shiny and joyful. It was like a thing from another planet. The cellophane alone was extraordinary.”
- from The Outcast by Sadie Jones (which I’m currently reading)
I was thinking about The Princess and the Pea.
