” It’s fine, it’s fine Sarah, It’s just…why would anybody want a sheep on a lampshade?”. “Oh jst – GO AWAY Yorick! I want a sensible critique from somebody that…somebody ELSE!

– but quietly to myself, why WOULD anybody want a sheep on a lampshade? Weirdly – I LOVE it. I love that it is wearing a Shetland jumper and that it has golden sheep poo scattered amongst the scribbled grass. I love its goofy face and dirty knees, but I’m haunted by the possibility that I might be the only one.

Anyhow, aside from all that I have been trialling lamp base possibilities for photography . I don’t think I have found a solution yet.
