Sketches
When I'm not writing, I'm sketching.
These are some of the sketches I did for Unlikely Stories of a Perfect Childhood
The Sunday thermos. Chapter 2, Parties, Picnics and Practical Jokes all about family life when we were young and our parents were party-animals... or so it seemed. | Matching gumboots. Chapter 4: One of the Girls, all about being five sisters all in a row, wearing matching outfits. | Orange vinyl coats. Chapter 5, Best Dressed, about Mum's sewing obsession. |
---|---|---|
The Ghost Bride. Chapter 5, Looking Good, in which I end up with a polyester wedding dress, not silk. | Jim O'Brien's scissors. Chapter 6, Looking Good, in which Dad chops off one of Polly's pigtails at a party. | My first bra. Chapter 7 Moral Dilemmas, in which I get my first bra in front of the whole family. |
