I have never aspired to be a cover girl. However, if I were to dare dream of such a thing, I would imagine myself being photographed only after several hours with a very large team of professional beautifiers and then being thoroughly air brushed. This week I had a shock. I find I am a cover girl. Photographed not after a makeover but after having been bent over a sheep for the last twenty minutes!
The September/October issue of Yarnmaker is out any day now and the cover image has been released. This issue contains my second article on learning to shear where I recorded my experiences of a sheep shearing course I took in the summer. I just didn’t expect to be on the cover. Dirty, sweaty and jubilant, hugging the fleece I had just shorn (no, I'm not the one with four horns).
Thanks Dot!

wow I'm impressed. Although I'm not sure whether it's because of the shearing or the cover girl thing. Probably both.
ReplyDeleteWow, congrats on the cover! I think it looks great even though you didn't get a chance to get all prettied up for it!!
