It's getting noisey with creatures clamoring to be first in line for creation! Oh be still for awhile... At least let me drink my tea 1st!

It's been like this for 3 weeks now.

One after the other come knocking, no, banging! on the door of my imagination, stating matter of factly that 'I want to be done 1st'!! Then you've got the one's who, until now, have been waiting quite patiently, saying 'What about me?? I was here BEFORE them!!'

I really could do with one of those old-fashioned school bells to call timeout!!

I can't even switch off to go to sleep without at least one poking me into grumbling submission to scribble out a sketch of them, which is so vague (with sleep deprivation) that by morning i've got no idea what this blotchy mess with eyes is supposed to be?! Well, i'm sure it'll come back to me when i've started on the clay...

On the upside to all of this is the sense of Magick that seems to have gripped the house! Everything is prickling and shiney! Even shadows have a warm depth to them that you could climb into and get lost...

And so i welcome all the chattering and strange little lights, happy in the knowledge that these beings are sharing thier world with us and keeping the cats out of the studio and busy running up and down the stairs chasing goodness knows what?!

It's been super busy at Urchynwood HQ as we prepare for the forthcoming Witches' Market in the Isles of Avalon! The Urchynians that are coming with us are super excited at the chance to see and be seen! They haven't stopped fidgeting since I told them! There is going to be a guest appearance from one particular Urchynian, but i'm not saying who!!!

Boxes are stacked up in the entrance ready to be double checked, full to the brims with artwork merchandise! I've finally located my cash tin! It decided to hide in a completely different cupboard than the one I put it in!! Told you those Urchynians were getting fidgety!!

I've decided to let go of some my original artworks. I've only got so much wall space here and so thought it better if someone else appreciated them! These will be available at the Witches' Market also.

New banner and business cards arrived just time! I love them!! I've even got a custom made stamp with the Urchynwood logo! I'm stamping everything I can find!! Teehee!!

Meet 'Brimble' ~ The Goblin.
Old and quite wise, he loves to travel and discover new things!!
He carries a large leather bag to collect anything he finds interesting, from pretty pebbles and feathers to can rings and pen caps!

The wall is silence, the grass is sleep,

Tall trees of peace their vigil keep,

And the Fairy of Dreams with moth-wings furled

Plays soft on her flute to the drowsy world.
