Helen Oxenbury is another prolific illustrator from England (and as i mentioned, she’s married to John Burningham). She’s not as much of an author-if at all- but she’s a classic n…

Edward Lear’s songs and poetry were inspired by his love of animals, and his ravishing drawings captured their beauty. Jenny Uglow celebrates a humorist who felt himself not really ‘one of us’

I loved felting this bird nest. But mostly I like making felt boxes, vessels, cases etc. where man can hide lovely treasures, hold necessary things or leave messages for someone. So this nest is to work as such a helper in the abode. It's quite big... The beads are from a necklace of the 60-70s. Someone gave them to me, maybe I could use them instead of throwing away. Now I found a good place for them. That's also some kind of recycling... It looks beautiful when the light shines through them. I felted in silk fibres and pieces of a gift-ribbon. My favorite color has been blue since I was a child. Different shades. In the last time I like to combine it with more green and warm yellow. I will take it with me to a Christmas market in Germany and I hope it will find a new home. Have a sunny day!

On top of the Crumpetty Tree The Quangle Wangle sat, But his face you could not see, On account of his Beaver Hat. For his Hat was a hundred and two feet wide, With ribbons and bibbons on every side, And bells, and buttons, and loops and lace. So that nobody ever could see the face Of the Quangle Wangle Quee. The Quangle Wangle's Hat is a story of total nonsense, which at the same time seems to make a lot of sense, with its many layers of meaning and illusion. This whimsical poem was written by Edwar Lear, a Victorian author, poet and artist. It was first published in 1877 in his book Laughable Lyrics: Fourth Book of Nonsense Poems, Songs, Botany, Music &c. I love Lear's imagination. His fantasy creatures such as the Fimble Fowl with the corkscrew leg, the Pobble who hast no toes, and my favourite the Dong with a luminous nose. Lear was born into a family of 20 children, in Holloway England 1812. Financial difficulties left him to his elder sisters care. Raised and educated by his sisters, he then began earning his living as an artist at age 14. He had a difficult life suffering from epilepsy and depression for which he felt ashamed and would often retreat from public view. He was a well travelled man, having explored Europe, Egypt and India. He briefly gave drawing lessons to Queen Victoria. During this Victorian era it was Lear, together with Lewis Carroll, who helped establish this new literary genre of the humorous, irrational and nonsensical. Lear died in 1888 from the heart disease he had been struggling with since 1870. This tattered edition of The Quangle Wangle's Hat was Will's from his childhood. Published in 1975 by Puffin Books, this version is illustrated by Helen Oxenbury. Oxenbury also illustrated Mem Fox's children's book Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes, another one of my favourite children's stories. And at night by the light of the Mulberry Moon They danced to the Flute of the Blue Baboon On the broad green leaves of the Crumpetty Tree, And all were as happy as happy could be, With the Quangle Wangle Quee.

When my sister knew I was to become a grandmother , she suggested to me that I should make a sampler . The thought of making a cross stitch sampler was not very appealing to me , but I thought perhaps I could maybe make something from felt. But what ? I thought of a tree of life ;Noah's ark; the owl and the pussy cat ; but none of them caught my imagination . Then I remembered the poem of The Quangle Wangle's hat , by Edward Lear. This poem was a favorite bedtime story for me and my two girls when they were very little. We had a copy illustrated by Helen Oxenbury which sadly is long out if print but it is available second hand. The quangle wangle lives in a crumpetty tree and his enormous beaver hat , decorated with ribbons and bibbons, bells, buttons, loops and lace can be seen for miles. But he is very lonely and first Mr & Mrs canary ask if they can build a nest on his hat . Then a series of other magical animals join them living on the beaver hat . It ends as follows: And the Quangle Wangle said To himself on the crumpetty Tree, "When all these creatures move What a wonderful noise there'll be !" And at night by the light of the Mulberry Moon They danced to the flute of the Blue Baboon On the broad green leaves of the Crumpetty Tree, And all were as happy as happy could be, with the Quangle Wangle Quee So I had my sampler theme. I decided to make a wall hanging depicting not the Quangle Wangle or his hat but the moon dance. First. I did some testing on how to make the crumpetty leaves , tree branches and edging options for my animals. Black edges were out , but the blue ones are OK. Then I tested the prefelt and fibres for the various animals. There are 17 in total, some will just be felted and some embroidered. This looks totally uninspiring , looking back. But critical really as you can't undo felt. And I carded the sky , blues and purple merino with white silk fibres for the silvery light. Next time. Felting the piece. Posted with Blogsy

'The Quangle Wangle's Hat' Witten by Edward Lear and Illustrated by Zinia King. A note from the Illustrator: I have always been a fan of Edward Lear’s poetry. Such utter nonsense evokes much delight. Illustrating ‘The Quangle Wangle’s Hat has been a dream of mine for many years. In my second year of University (2014) I created several sketches and a couple of final pieces based on the book as a project. It wasn’t until lockdown and a residency in 2021 that I finally took the opportunity to illustrate the book. I loved the process so much that I completed all of the final illustrations in less than a month! Printed in the Adelaide Hills on 100% recycled paper by Reid Print. The perfect little gift for that super quirky friend of yours! ***Shipping*** All of my books are shipped through Australia Post. My favourite postman Martin at the Mylor Post Office makes sure that nothing is liable to be bent or damaged before we send it off. The book will come wrapped in clean re-used plastic which I encourage you to recycle through RedCycle. The A4 envelopes are made from 100% post-consumer waste. As you may be aware by now, there are substantial delays on delivery times with Australia Post. The standard delivery options (free within Australia/$10 International) are untracked. If you wish to be able to track your delivery, please choose the 'Tracked' or 'Express' delivery options. I recommend factoring in 2 weeks for delivery within Australia. It will likely arrive earlier, but mysterious things sometimes occur within the postal service! Current international orders with restrictions + backlogs are averaging 8 weeks, and I've experienced up to 10-12 week wait times. Please leave plenty of time for these international gifts. If your order doesn't arrive within 4 weeks Australia wide or 12 weeks International, please let me know and I will be more than happy to refund/resend your order.
