I’ve seen those clever blogs where people, with screamingly obvious talent draw great sketches, lots of stick people and witty comments…… so how hard could it be for me a gardener, writer un-drawy person to scribble and scratch out my own image?

What fun and this made me laugh a real “belly laugh”. I like the kinda evil, alien looking sticks, but I think of you more in the allotment with plants, a tree and you in the middle happy as can be. Very fun post Claire.
I think there are days when I look and feel a little alien Teresa 🙂
What fun Claire. You’ve made me smile as I sit here enjoying my caffe-latte and the warmish weather.
What a brilliant fun filled post Claire!
Have a beautiful week ahead, no matter whether you are wearing a hat, shorts, or just have stick arms and legs.
🙂 Mandy xo
Thanks for the smile raising, hilarious post.
Hilarious, Claire.
Yeah I think I was in a skittish mood 🙂
thanks for the laugh Claire!
As someone who is artistically challenged I’d be quite proud of some of those self-portraits. 🙂
Enjoyed your fun post today! I think you look terrific 🙂
Thank you ruth, what I didn’t manage to draw were the grubby / mud stained knees 🙂
Keep practicing. My stuff as you know is the simple line drawing with color. It take a unique talent to deliver the gag and pic in one frame with such few very simple lines. I don’t think she’s blogging anymore but see if you can find umicomics for top notch cartoon stickman art and humor.
thank you for your encouragement Carl. It seems umicomics site is closed now, but I did find examples on your blog 🙂 Thank you!
A whole line of smileys first of all!! I would not rethink anything – that last flower sketch would fit you to a ‘T’ methinks 🙂 !
LOL! The scissorhands would be great for pruning and deadheading…. 😉
There wouldn’t be much left of the garden if I had scissor hands, I know I would get carried away 🙂

Brilliant – loved them all but I rather like the idea of gardening in a bowler hat 😉
A bowler would up the anti wouldn’t it !
brilliant! Love the one in the allotment 🙂
So lovely so clever… Thank you dear Claire, love, nia
thank you my friend x
I think you might have hit on something there with the bowler hat and skirt combo… have you approached Gardener’s World to see if Carol would like to model this outfit in coming programmes?!
🙂 Could Gardners World cope with such sartorial elegance ?!
LOL! Such a good giggle!
You are a clever and brave woman!
not really just bordering on loonyness 🙂
Brilliant, truly brilliant. Ok the drawing’s still a bit crap but this did make me giggle 🙂 I’m now off to try and fathom out which of the above is the ‘real you’. My money is now on the one with you, at the plot with a smile on your face
You calling my drawing crap? How dare you!!!
🙂 🙂 ::)
I am smiling at these drawings 😀
Thank you!
Cheers

Very nice and creative! You have some terrific combinations and I love how you “switch up” your look so much! Just like a gardener does with plants!
I love the gardening fork/trident in one of the latter sketches best! Jaunty caps and wigs are noteworthy too! Thanks for the fun break 🙂
Yes it does look more like a trident than a fork doesnt it !
this is cute and lots of fun.
That was great fun! Well done.
Love it! Thanks for the laugh, flowergirl 🙂
I smiled all the way through your drawings, and laughed out loud as appendages began to fall off. LOL! Your artwork may not have classic appeal, but I loved them, and you are as clever as they come! I rather liked the jaunty hat. 🙂
Oh, you are way too clever for me! You are as clever as you are a good gardener.
Such a good laugh, thank you!
Ha ha. Evolution.
For some reason I stopped getting your post announcements via email…can’t figure out why wordpress does this every so often but it happens more than I like…I knew you must have posted since early May….
anyway….
This made me smile bigtime! I esp love the boyscout look! 🙂
Brilliant! Delightful! Insightful? 😉
Unlikey kathryn! But it was fun to do 🙂 I’ve been trying my hand at snails – the gardeners nemisiss 🙂
This was so much fun, Claire! BTW, are you on holiday? I finally got well enough to sit down long enough and start visiting old friends again and I see that you are gone! Hoping all is well,
