A Suffusion of Yellow

Hi, I'm Andrew, sometimes known as Mr Fluffy. I'm really chuffed Liz has asked me to exhibit stuff on her website - but it took me a long while to pull together pieces that I can still bear to look at long after their context has passed. Y'see, most of them were created for various of my roleplaying ventures, either as game master or player. I tend not to create just for myself - I need a reason to push myself. The thought of an angry Liz with a nail-studded cudgel was sufficient in this case.

Anyway, on with the show.

   The vampire said, "Blood, shadows and candlelight are the only things real to me any more. Love, sun, life - these are the dreams. Sleep well, child, and we shall talk some more when you are rested."

It seems that the gift of the brightly-coloured sexual organs of plants is a gesture of friendship among the Grig as it was with our ancestors. I took the flower and grafted it into hydroponic rootstock so it would last as a reminder of the trust we have built with the Grig. While I was doing this, some of the flower's pollen stuck to the sleeves of my shipsuit, along with some of its fragrance. They remain. The scent puts me in mind of things I have lost long ago.

   Like everybody else who opens up the magical, infuriating wonderbox of Bryce, I did a rocky island and water and pretty sky.

From orbit the planet Carbonek shows extensive evidence of prolonged meteoric bombardment. Most of its geographical features from the smallest lake to the very tectonic plates themselves, trace in their circular outlines the graves of space-faring rocks of all sizes. Despite the damage, however, the planet's welcoming green horizons demonstrate once again that sins of any size can be forgiven, if sufficient time passes for the penitent.
