Florence

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to say uber muchly thankies for all the nice comments about my monster and some of you I need to email... I will do that shortly :)

This new monster is for my Mum, because I am going away to Ukraine again for a month, to work with Roma children in Lutsk and she gets frightened I will get hurt and stuff... so I made Florence, she stops people getting worried that the ones they love with get hurt. She is a sort of butterfly because at home in the garden there is a tree which attracts butterflies and I used to sit under it alot when I was a kid and say I wanted to be a butterfly... She is called Florence, because Florence is the first place I travelled to alone and I came back fine :) Sometimes my monsters are very personal and sometimes they are very general... this one is kind of specific to my mum... Flo looks a bit like Laurie because my mum loved Laurie...

I was also wondering what people are afraid of, because I like to paint in water colours and stuff and I was thinking of making a range of monsters and having litte story books to go with them... like Mr Men, sort of... the story of how the monster overcame a particular fear. So tell me what you are scared of... I would really like to know.

For the moment, here is Flo....
