hello. new person on block.
this blog is entirely Ed's fault. i gave him clockworkfish for his company and he declined to use it. i consequently decided the name had to be used for *something* and reached for the nearest publishing medium.
mostly interested in writing up various ideas and thinkings. hopefully in interesting reading style. likely to suffer from lack of obsessiveness, and will consequently be occassional and periodic.
but hopefully worth the effort.
this post is mostly an attempt to provide content for going over the look and feel (i could have lorem ipsited but cannot be bothered)...
much love, carla
Yay, it's a Carla!
(goes off to put her on the homepage :-)

Pos Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc;

Brimtoy (1914 1932) merged with Wells in 1932 to become known as Wells-Brimtoy Limited producing a vast selection of high-quality tinplate items, some of which are very unusual and collectable today, such as their clockwork fish (1954), flying Superman (1957), dancing Fairy Queen (1954), Mickey Mouse drawing tutor (1955) and walking pig and jumping kangaroo (1945).
