More pirated sheep for Punkin's Patch 'Draw a Sheep' challenge!

Draw a sheep for Punkin's Patch......
you'll be glad you did!
:)

These Are My Sheep

These are my sheep.

I did not draw these sheep but they are my sheep.
They did not start out to be my sheep.
But they are my sheep now.

I'll short story these sheep for you.

Once upon a time I had a cousin.
His name was George.
He was an artist.

I loved George more than anything in the world.
We were kindred spirits.
Heart and soul.
Together always.

Until two kids smashed his head in with a cement block.

Then we weren't together any more.

Before the smashing, George would draw and I would write.
We were going to be famous.
Famous in that spectacular way you believe you'll be when you are young.
George believed that even more than I.

But George can't be here now so he left me his sheep.

I hadn't thought about these sheep in a great long while.

Until now.

I'll share these sheep with you.

I can do that, for they are my sheep now.

~M.

Rabitta was the name of the Princess in our beloved story, Overkill.

The story we'll never get to finish.

George always called me Rabitta.

I called him Sir Puss.

This notation is in a 100 year old copy of a Dickens collection.

Like I said, George always believed we'd be famous.

~from George to me.......

who could have said how prophetic these words would be?



Thank you for reminding me of these sheep.

They have been too long neglected.

SPOILS of BEDLAM ART

SPOILS of the WEEKEND
See what happens when I leave my laptop at work........?    ;)    ~M.
*****************************************************

Henrietta Bunrat (or Hattie Bunratty as she's known to her friends!) is a Bedlamite milliner.
Oh, but she does manage to slip the gates from time to time, especially if there is a Vintage Event to be attended, but for the most part stitches happily in her cell at Bethlam....hat after hat after hat after hat..........

It was during one of her unauthorized outings, whilst wearing a rather ostentatious chapeau, (available adornment being what you might well imagine inside the walls of a lunatic asylum........)  that Hattie caught the attention of the Ladies of Society.

Well, naught would do but that Hattie prepare them all a hat as well!

And so, night and day, remnants of all manner are delivered to the gates and Hattie works her Bedlam Art!

Or, as it has been said by Edith Terwilliger, President of the Ladies of Such Elegant Refined Society
is wont to say:  "My dearest, tout le monde qui est quelqu'un qui a le Bunrat sur leur tête!" *
And, as Hatty sees it, the 12 and 50 per for private cell fees hasn't hurt, either!

HAPPY HATTING!
*muwah*
Miss Hattie Bunratty
Southwark
* "My dearest, EVERYONE who is ANYONE has a Bunrat on their head!"

An Original BUNRAT!

And matching MUFF!

The reverse of the muff boasts a removable reticule.

IF YOU PLEASE, DRAW ME A SHEEP........

 

"If you please, draw me a sheep......"

Perhaps the most beautiful words ever written in the Little Prince.....until The Crazy Sheep Lady from Punkin's Patch said them again!   (I love the Crazy Sheep Lady....she once said I was mostly crazier than she is......!)  ;)

Punkin's Patch is offering an art challenge this month:  Draw Me A Sheep
http://myfavoritesheep.blogspot.com/2012/03/draw-sheep-part-one.html

And so,  I am.  And very excited, too!  It's as though it's the first day of school and all things are possible!

As I've stated before, I engage in what I call BEDLAM ART.  I care not for the principles of design......
I only care to `twirl~twirl~twirl with my crayons!

And so.....here we go.............  SHEEP #1

I look forward to this BRILLIANT exercise!

I can't promise you I will always.....draw....you a sheep........

but I will do my best to come up with sheepie art posts......

until the final ART SHOW..that is........!

For *that* I'm saving my Secret Sheep.......!

Happy Creating!

And thanks to Punkin's Patch!
