Today is indeed a day of days. My artistic folding of Ross Kemp's face has been selected for the Kemp Folds website. Simply entitled 'Zippy', visit the website to have a look. Feel free to post a comment, saying how brilliant it is.

Ukraine's Got Talent

This is possibly the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. And incredibly it's from Ukraine's Got Talent. I have to say, I've never seen anything like this before and it did move me to tears*. Enjoy.



*Although that could be because I'm a big girl.

I can do woodwork, me!

Fr-fr-fresh from my art exploits of last week, I've been getting into a bit of woodwork too. I made this for my friend's 30th birthday. It's a clock, made out of driftwood and slate, all of which was collected from Wembury Beach. And I stuck 3 starfish on it, because it was her 30th. The starfish were already dead before I stuck them on.

Art Attack!

Having done bugger all in the way of art for the last 20 years or so, I've just finished my second painting in a week. I'm getting quite into this painting business. I feel quite the creative. I've sent my novel to an agent (who still hasn't replied - bastard) and I'm now also an artist. I wonder which will come first, the Turner Prize or the Booker Prize...

I can do Art, me.

Decided to have a go at a bit of art tonight. First time I've ever properly painted a picture since I was about 12. And I was quite excited by it all, to be honest. Having written the book, this was the next thing to see if I was any good at - and although I don't think this is going to win the Turner Prize this year, I like it. I definitely think this is something I'll be having another go at again.
