Thank you, I like creepy excitement too. The hair came from my head and Theresa’s head (my wife). She has wonderful red/gold hair. I have brown hair but when the sun shines there is plenty of red to be found. In the future the work will be found in a lake and our DNA will be combined to create some kind of clone. My Daughter Eloise has Golden hair that would fit your book…maybe a new scan of both.
Dear Patrick That’s really interesting thank you I have been thinking about red hair a lot recently and wrote it on my list of things to research at my last supervision meeting. There’s a book on it but I have forgotten what it’s called the something of desire…not as good as the Blonde book.
Red hair really is best seen in the sun and you can discover secret redheads that way it’s true.I was recently at a party where there were two other redheads and I made them line up with me.
I would love a scan of Elöise’s and Theresa’s hair too if they wouldn’t mind. I have just been looking at your blog which I like very much and found a giant squid ( did you see that picture of a giant squid that was in the observer/guardian a while ago? It was great I believed it was real but it was a text misprint and it was a replica) the hair picture you sent me reminded me of a squid/octopus so I was excited to see one on your blog.
I have only just understood the joy of reading and writing blogs. I have recently started one on the a-n site.

Dear Annabel,
Did the two other redheads mind? Was the line-up for a photo? Did a fight ensue?
Yes…I know the 2 books, unable to remember titles too. I work in University Library.
Eloise had her hair cut into a bob recently, so I have a strand. She has Theresa’s hair, very lucky. I find it very striking. When I first heard Theresa’s name being spoken by her Brother at the start of 1996(before I met her), I imagined an orange/gold/red/pink formless cloud shape just above my head…I sort of felt it more than visually sensing it .
Yes of course you can use the image, I look forward to reading the blog. Full of detail. Lot’s of Animals. Your website is very interesting too. I can imagine a huge monograph of your work. or museum in a whole house. or a theme park in a forest. I’ve attached a slightly better image of the work, plus a picture of the giant squid at Propeller Island. Violet Clark likes the picture, which is nice as I like her music.
All the best
Patrick
