So, remember when I decided to remove "the dude selling Christmas trees"?  I was left with this - which was a problem.

But how to cover it up?  I tried painting it (didn't help), melting it (the base of this piece is a man-made fabric) but it only scorched it. So then I tried painting the scorching which also didn't work, so I had to remove the paint and then scorch the whole thing to match, giving it a nice, yellow cast (good thing I'm not planning to enter it in any shows!) and then I sat and puzzled till my puzzler broke.

So what did I do?

Friday's the big finish!



Damn it! NEARLY wordless...

You start with a reasonably cute squirrel, see? And then...

My friend Beth sent me a link to this video - an interview with Alice Kettle.

Her work is just.. wow. I'm gobsmacked, speechless, my world, as they say, is rocked.

Three times in a row I've watched it now, as well as looking at her image gallery on Google and her site (kindly provided by arlee barr) HERE. 

Have a look - it'll be worth your time.

P.S. - and while I'm recommending - you should check out arlee barr, too. Her work is amazing!
