Artistic Interpretations of The Tempest: #6-‘A Study of Emma, Lady Hamilton, as Miranda’ by George Romney
The Tempest is one of my favourite William Shakespeare plays. I thought that it would be fun to share, in no particular order, some of the many artworks inspired by this classic.

Daily Diversion #268: Birthday Kettle
The Chef gave me an electric kettle for my birthday! It replaces one that I bought in June 2005, and used between 5,000 and 6,000 times. Talk about money well spent.
The new kettle is quite spiffy. I’m looking forward to another long personal and professional association.
Electric Kettle. Bonus points for naming all of the famous writers and movie stars on the inspiration board behind the kettle and cup.
It glows!
I totally didn’t make my husband sit with me in my dark studio and watch a kettle of water come to a boil. We definitely didn’t hold hands. I am in no way weird.
Artsy Electric Kettle*
*I absolutely didn’t put a cool filter on that photo of my birthday kettle. Nope. Wasn’t me.
Grace and Blood free on Smashwords – and a CONTEST!
I never reblog anything, ever, unless, selfishly, it has to do with me, my writing, or A Small Press Life. I’m making an exception here, for two reasons. One) I’m WordPress pals with the writer and Two) This contest looks like a ton of fun. You should probably enter it. Like, yesterday.
Birthday Books
My birthday isn’t until Friday, but a couple of days ago my husband indulged me with some early gifts:
A Small Press Life: Books. Art. Writing. Life. Tea.
