A shot of candy pink
and the germ of an idea
which I am nursing.
Always the best bit of any project.
It was the same with childhood play.
The planning was all that mattered.
The game rarely happened.
Illustrations from 1965 by Gwyneth Mamlok.
The illustrations are timeless and beautiful. Godspeed your germ of an idea!
ReplyDeleteI do look forward to learning more about pink and shots in the arm and whatever it is that is energizing you mid-September.

Intriguing...
ReplyDeleteI believe that girl is wearing my Lecturing Hat.
ReplyDeleteToo mysterious.... Now I'm trying to join the images and come up with what your Germ might be.
ReplyDeleteyes! I so understand what you are saying. For me, the planning is almost always where the beauty and thrill lay. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWe wait with ill-concealed impatience. I hope it's not an injection which makes your arm pink... .
ReplyDeleteI do agree and I love your illustrations- Jane x
ReplyDeleteI am also nursing a germ of an idea, which is leading me to think I might have to act, and soon. Have you heard of NaNoWriMo?
ReplyDeleteThose illustrations remind me a bit of the Madeline books. Very sweet.
Wonderful little illustrations.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures which immediately transport me to my youth. Very reminiscent of Gordon Fraser cards.
