About me My story

I'm an artist, a craft worker, pyrographer, belly dancer, singer, SF fan, book reader, comic collector, filker, fan artist, costumer, blogger on LiveJournal, fanzine fan.

I've dressed as a Viking, as a Medieval peasant, a tart for The New Model Army.

I've won two Hugo awards for my art. http://www.thehugoawards.org/ and six Nova's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_Awards

I do fan art for the Hugo winning Plokta. http://www.plokta.com/plokta/

This is my webpage http://www.plokta.com/Woodlore

I like beer and canals, Portmeirion and north west Wales, sushi and chocolate (though possibly not all at the same time...)

I have a vicious cat who put me in hospital, I have purple hair and a purple car. I love my iBook very much but I don't like heights... oops.

Lots of my friends will be watching online, across the world and some should be turning up to watch me in person.

Most of the art I do is too small to do on a monument, but I'm sure I'll find a way to entertain for an hour.

  • Sue I was very impressed! Watched on repeat(!) after the event. I'd have been terrified.

  • Big thanks to everyone for their support.

    Sorry about the lack of belly dancing, when I bent down to cue up the music, I made the mistake of looking down and realizing just how high up I was... bad move.

    At least I could talk while standing still.

    And the best bit?

    All your support, the 35-40 friends who turned up on the day and all my friends across the world who watched online. You rock.

    Of course, the margaritas to celebrate afterwards didn't hurt either.

  • The reason http://www.plokta.com/Woodlore doesn't work is the large W. http://www.plokta.com/woodlore gets you to the right web page.

    Great show. Thanks.

  • great story telling!

  • Well spotted, Fred. Sue's pyrography is at

    http://www.plokta.com/woodlore

  • Loved it! You rocked, Sue!

  • HELLO!! You were brilliant. Watched the whole hour and Elf the smallest of my feline family was fascinated by you too.

  • Not Found

    The requested URL /Woodlore was not found on this server.

  • Well done we are all very proud of you. from all the gang x

  • Sue you were BRILLIANT!!!! xxxoooxxx

  • Loved it Sue.everyone soooo proud i emailed friends in Winnipeg who watched on line.Belly dancing next time?1 hour non stop talking is clearly no effort for you.Does your mum know you drink gin?

  • Can't see you from my work desktop (no-one to blame but me; I wrote the rules) and the direct Internet PC is slower than a slow thing. Look forward to the reports, though.

  • Wow! Go for it.....

  • Wish I could be there in person to cheer you on - but instead I shall join the ranks watching online - you go girl!

  • I will be watching, hoping the weather is better than it is in Glasgow! Have fun!

  • Will be glued to my computer watching you - well done!

  • Good luck Sue. I hope that sun stays out for you (looking good so far at least!).

  • I'm rearranging meetings at work so I can be there for at least part of the hour ... good luck, and I hope the weather is lovely!

  • Yay! I'm hoping to be there (and that the weather stays reasonable for you).

  • Good luck, Sue! We'll be watching you on line from New York.

  • Wow Sue - brilliant - Go girl!!! All the best hope you have a wonderfull time !!

  • An hour of me running away from a seriously ticked off grey tom, in the manner of a Will E Coyote cartoon would have been highly amusing!

    For certain values of the word 'amusing'...

    But, sadly, the rules won't permit me to bring his royal Maxness along.

    But I will be telling Max stories, I assure you.

    S.

  • You go girl! Hope we can get you a *big* crowd.

  • complex post. due one decimal where I quarrel with it. I am emailing you in detail.
