One of the benefits of being snowbound is that I've been able to be aimless without feeling as though I should be doing
something constructive with my time. I'm not a great artist, but I
am quite partial to a spot of colouring. I always have been: I'm not one
of those Jill-come-latelys who has jumped on the recent adult colouring
book bandwagon. (There's more on this on my yoga blog here.)
My current book is a collection of Magnificent
Creatures from The Works, and I've just started on what I'm quite sure is a stylised
giraffe (left). However, Mr Thorley, looking at the image from the other way
round, declared it to be of a mournful crayfish, with what were originally nostrils now becoming sad eyes - and I have to concede
he might have a point (right).Now I'm wondering if perhaps I should have turned the picture upside-down. At the very least, The Mournful Crayfish will make a great name for a fictional pub in one of my short stories.
