For the Art House Coop’s visual ency­clo­pe­dia project, another of my words is blus­tery. What’s your first reac­tion to blus­tery? Prob­a­bly same as mine. Betcha’ it is… Win­nie the Pooh and the Blus­tery Day. Right?

So do I give in and draw Pooh with a kite? Would view­ers get it and if they did, would it be too cheesey? I will give in to my instincts and do a col­lage with a lovely sketch of Pooh which I will cut out from an illus­tra­tion and then, to enhance the cheese-​factor, I’ll make a tiny kite and use a bit of thread for the string and glue it to PoohBear’s lit­tle paw. Hon­estly, there isn’t any­thing else to do, now is there? I thought of blus­ter­ing politi­cians giv­ing odi­ous speeches, but nah — who’d get it? Thought of a nice Mr. Wind with bil­low­ing curls of air-​breath but then it would “windy” not “blus­tery” in the eye of the beholder.

Talked myself into it. Pooh it is. And poo on my detractors.
