Ladies and gentlemen, happy Sunday with a little Ode by Kathy.
Oh Ricky…
Poor Richard. That was another job where he had to deal with water…
Just for comparison, here is the previous Ricky Deeming RAPS that I made 100 years ago. It was #10, btw, so one of the earliest shrines ever made – and looks it. Still slightly less elaborate in its design.

#10 Ricky Deeming “Raw”
BTW – I will definitely reach the 200-shrines mark this year. I have posted 190 shrines so far, and there are four shrines that are already made but not yet revealed. It’s taking me a long time to make the second 100 shrines, considering that I had 100 of them done after just one year… And while I have let all of them go, I have my shrine book to look at if I want to remember them.

I hope I can get volume 2 of my shrine anthology done before the year is out 😉.
I don’t know. I think the old Ricky is pretty swell. That scarf is awesome and it’s a unique tin shape. Each of them is different, that’s the really cool thing about them.

Plus there is a good ‘thumb’ shot . I loved Ricky that was one character who merited a spin off series

You know what, Yve – that is exactly what I was thinking yesterday. Ricky in a spin-off. He was such an interesting character.

Oh, I loved the little scarf 😃. But yeah, I sounded a bit too negative there. It was early days, I was still learning.

Only 6 shrines to think up… that’s a doable number. (I just wish I wasn’t heading off to Germany for 5 weeks 😬)

Guylty as Sue had suggested a few months ago can you take a portable craft kit w you to Germany or will just too much to do w your mums move?
6 is not only doable but destiny and deliciously daring to dive into !! Looking forward to the next 200 from you 😘❤️❤️👍👏😉

That portable craft kit is a great idea… Mind you, I am such a fickle “artist”. Or overley sensitive mimosa. In order to create I need *all* my stuff with me. Heck, I even have to sit in my usual spot, where I know where all the various bits and pieces are, in order to get the creative juices flowing. Total crafts diva 😬

Diva ? Nah you are a giver and yes having a ritual and sense of order and routine to get the creative juices flowing is endearing! Nice that you are honest and give us non crafting people like me a peek into your world! ❤️😉👏

Wow, nearly 200! That’s incredible Guylty and I agree with Kate that both Ricky shrines are unique and they are lovely in their own way. Smashing ode Kathy! (As I’ve been furiously cleaning my house for some friends’ imminent arrival, it was dust that first sprang to mind as rhyming with rust.)

Hahaha, of course, dust… I should have had that sussed 😉

I’ve never been one for poetry but I love your odes Kathy!
The RAPS book is gorgeous Guylty, what a fabulous memento of the generous creativity and love you have sent out into the fandom. And there’s my first RAPS at the end! iirc #2 Lucas North, which I was lucky enough to win in a raffle (your first?)

Absolutely, yes, that was the first raffle because the initial shrine was meant to be nothing but a once-off for a Valentine’s Day swap over on tumblr… And when that was a hit, I thought I’d make one shrine per chaRActer. Ahem. 190 shrines later *coughs*….

And I still haven’t even created one for *every* character… Those smaller roles at the beginning – in Casualty, Inspector Lynley etc. – never made it into a shrine…
