Hello Puffin Bloggers - sorry to have been away for so long, I'm afraid my other work has been taking all of my attention lately. Goodness know what I'll do if it really takes off!
Anywho, here is a little restoration that I've been working on: The Puffin Readers Diary 1979!
This delightful cover was not very good at keeping its Gold and Green foil intact - mine was very worn. I hope that other owners of this little work of art allow me the license of approximating the look of the complete foil image. This is one of my favourite Jill McDonald ephemeral images.
I now have a cache of scans to work through, so I hope to resume normal service.
This site is dedicated to the original Puffin Club founded in 1967 and it's creators. What I post is a mixture of reminiscences and restored artwork.
Almost all of the old copies of Puffin Post were owned and loved by children - and the ravages of time weigh heavy on their paper covers. Some of the postings are works in progress, or may be updated when better quality images/news come to light.
Please contact me to share your images and memories - I will be happy to breathe new life into treasured memorabilia.
