Hot Air Ballooning with Snippy and Little Miss

'Snippy and Little Miss Go Ballooning' 2009 Diana Jones
It's getting warmer here. Hopefully I'll be able to stop the hunch over to keep warm and I'll be sitting upright in no time at all. Here's my latest colourful illustration. This will be turned into a textile collage, quite a big one if I'm up to it. With this illustration I couldn't help but think about a very bossy little girl, called Little Miss, who takes her dog, Snippy, everywhere she goes - whether Snippy likes it or not. To exact his revenge on his bossy keeper, Snippy leaves little surprises under Little Miss' bed much to Little Miss' horror. Snippy also drinks out of her cup when she's not looking. Snippy would much prefer to laze around, itch and eat the cat's food than participate in some of Little Miss' adventures. Being a loyal friend though, Snippy has generally learnt to suck it up and go with the flow.
