I like watching raindrops.
I was surprised to discover they like watching me though.

Getting over the hump of the week with an appreciation for a simple hat

#sillyScribbles #photography #seaside #rock #silly #nonsense

A photo of a pebble, grey with speckles of pink running through it. It is short and wide, and sits on top of two rounder grey pebbles. The backdrop is blurred seaside thrift flowers. On the right hand side of the pebble there is a limpet type shell like a beanie hat. I have drawn a simple happy face below the shell / hat and multiple short legs.

    It is a waste of time to try to refute Trump’s arguments like in a . It’s nearly impossible to identify what his arguments even are. He starts w/ & then digresses into blather.

    Ah. That's better. Needed to do a bird shaped one after the Klimt. Thank you Magritte. I call this one The Sitting.

    #sillyScribbles #MyfanwyAndFriend #artwork #silly #nonsense

    An adaptation of Magritte's The Return, featuring a nest with eggs and the shape of a flying bird filled with blue sky and clouds in the sky beyond. In this version we have the same nest, but instead of a bird flying there is a profile of a large knitted chicken filled with blue sky and clouds, sitting by the nest.

    Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose, Chicken

    Thanks to @fkamiah17 for the John Singer Sargent suggestion.

    #sillyScribbles #MyfanwyAndFriend #artwork #silly #nonsense

    An adaptation of John Singer Sargent's "Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose" painting of two children lighting paper lanterns in a garden full of dark foliage and pink and white flowers. In this version it is just one child and a large knitted chicken and simple drawn figure lean in to admire the lantern the child is holding.

    Have a bit of cuteness. I do love this plant.

    #sillyScribbles #photography #nature #silly #nonsense

    A close up photo of some buds on a St John's Wort plant. The buds range from yellow to orange, the stems are deep red, as are some leaves that curve up round the buds. Others are light green edged with red. Each bud has a cute face drawn on, in some cases peeking out from behind the upturned leaves. Two large plant leaves sit across the bottom of the photo and the backdrop is a very blurred, even green.

    Some Mondays just call for an emotional support chicken.

    Was thoroughly windswept on my walk today. It was beautiful, lush and sunny but the wind was unexpected.

    Definitely needed a hood.
    Did not have one.

    #sillyScribbles #Scotland #nature #silly #nonsense

    A short video loop of a wooden jetty sticking out into a pond which is surrounded by bright green reeds and grasses, and darker trees behind. The sky is blue with white fluffy clouds. The grasses and trees are swooshing in the wind. A simple drawn figure stands on the jetty, wearing a long green cloak and with hair blowing in the wind.

    Wait, what?

    #silly #bird #nonsense

    A photo of a yellow siskin bird on a seed-filled bird feeder. It is perched on the right hand side, and its head is inside the gap, getting seeds. There is another hole and perch opposite on the left hand side. I have been very silly and photoshopped the birds head from a different photo poking out that side, so it sort of looks like it has stretched its neck through the tube of seeds.

    Not sure why the swan was saluting, but it felt polite to return the gesture.

    I, for one, would welcome our new knitted chicken overlord

    #sillyScribbles #MyfanwyAndFriend #silly #nonsense

    Vertical image of a spoof political poster. The main backdrop is teal, and across the top there is white text saying MYFANWY WOULD HAVE USED AN UMBRELLA. There is then a photo of the podium in the rain outside Downing Street from Sunak's election speech, but Sunak has been replaced by a large knitted chicken and her simple drawn friend who is holding a black umbrella over both of them. Underneath the photo there is a tick in a box, and the words VOTE MYFANWY FOR A KINDER, WISER & DRYER FUTURE

    Saturday night film time

    #sillyScribbles #MyfanwyAndFriend #film #nonsense

    A pastiche of the Reservoir Dogs film poster. A stark image with red blood splatters at the top and bottom on a white background. On the red at the top it reads in small white lettering "A Film By Myfanwy and Friend". In large black letters underneath it says "reservoir hens" and at the bottom "Every hen has her day". The men have been replaced by a large knitted chicken and a simple drawn figure. They both wear a black tie, and the friend also wears sunglasses.

    Spending my Thursday morning investigating different types of smiles, because I have dull admin to do and I don't want to do it.

    deep breath

    Right. To the admin.

    #sillyScribbles #photography #lichenSubscribe #silly #nonsense #drawing

    A photo of a lichen & moss covered branch crossing the bottom of the frame horizontally, against a soft green backdrop. There is one vertical shoot on the right topped with a clump of lichen so it looks like a mini tree. On a much smaller and bare vertical shoot on its left is a simple drawn figure, standing in a yoga pose (on one leg, arms above head).

    Went for a walk to the land where the octopi grow

    #sillyScribbles #photography #silly #nonsense #drawing

    A photo of a blue bell plant with five purple flowers, petals curling up at the bottom. The flower grows in the middle of a sea of green leaves, many soft focus. Each flower has a cute happy face drawn on. With the way each petal curls up they made me think about how a kid (or, indeed, an adult like me) would draw an octopus.

    SUPPORT CHICKENS
    Episode 1
    The Myfanwy Menace

    A pastiche of the movie poster for The Phantom Menace, where you see Anakin as a boy with his shadow on the building as Vader. In this version there is a large ball of teal wool on the ground, and the shadow on the building is the profile of Myfanwy the knitted emotional support chicken. The film title has been changed to SUPPORT CHICKENS (in the style of STAR WARS) The Myfanwy Menace (because I have a soft sport for alliteration).

    Wondering about how JAWS would have been presented, if it was a large knitted chicken instead of a deadly shark.

    A spoof of the Jaws poster. Instead of water in the bottom two thirds we have a bed of hay, from which a large knitted chicken pokes her head, looking to camera, beak down. Below her beak is a human hand full of seeds. At the top of the image, beyond the bed of hay, is the word BEAKS in bold red text against a pale background. There is a slight ominous vibe, all things considered, but probably not as much as the original poster if I'm being totally honest.

    More movie madness from Myfanwy

    Thanks to @AnguaDelphine for this suggestion

    A pastiche of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. The logo and title has been changed to "Myfanwy & Friend the rescuers of the lost auk". It is the scene where the golden idol is stolen, but in this instance Dr Jones is replaced by Myfanwy, a large knitted chicken in a hat, the idol is replaced by a puffin, which Myfanwy's friend (a simple drawn figure) reaches out to carry.

    So I'm not a big action movie person, but I would watch the shit out of this.

    A pastiche of the Mad Max Fury Road film poster. At the top, in large blood splattered yellow letters it says "MAD MYFANWY FURY ROAD". It is set against a stormy sky, above a styalised desert landscape. Myfanwy, a large knitted chicken, replaces the woman, facing right wioth a large gun hanging from a chain around her. On the right the ma is replaced by the friend, a simple drawn figure, but in this case with the metal casing over their face and a chain dangling down. They point a gun to the left, over Myfanwy's head. An indistinct dead person lies on the ground by a felled motorbike.

    Dear lord, I need sleep.
    Night lovelies 💤

    A video loop of 4 very quick scenes adapted from the Mad Max Fury Road trailer; vehicle, driver viewed from side, vehicle, driver reflected in mirror. The logo in the top right reads Mad Myfanwy Fury Road and the driver is now a large knitted chicken.

    The brave robin valiantly rescues the seed from its cramped prison.

    Yes, yes, it does. Shush now.

    (this might be the smallest face I've ever drawn on anything, might require zoomage if you're on a phone!)
