Just a reminder that January is a terrible, terrible mistake...
ALT Text reads: Until the Victorians ruined the midwinter holiday by tying Twelfth Night to the end of festivities, and certainly in Tudor times, Christmas celebrations basically went on until the beginning of February. If you now feel, like me, that you need an extra month before ‘normal service’ resumes, you’re just keeping tradition alive. So, go back to bed.

A puppet I made in 2014, a kind of melancholic jester/Pierrot with a carved & painted wooden head & hands made from oven-hardening clay. I'm fond of him & he hangs wistfully in the corner of the @hedgespoken truck watching over things.
Well done! Brave and beautifully done. Being a father is the hardest thing I've ever done, by a dozen country mile… vimeo.com/arthurcauty/mandow… #Vimeo
