Eleanor Antrobus

Hello,my name is Ellie and I live in Shropshire!

My first love in life is poetry,I self-published my first anthology ‘Swansacre’ last year.My poetry is so steeped in visual metaphor that I wanted to explore the impact of illustration on my work,and this course is an excellent starting block for that vision!

I write a blog on the side as an unhinged Victorian spinster-Miss Crumpet.I am pictured above as Miss Crumpet in my Canva designed poster for her starring role ‘I Pain Au Chocolat Sono Esauritu’ where she waxes numerous laments over the lack of Greggs pain au chocolates.

When I step out of my Miss Crumpet button-boots I retreat to the kitchen to relax by baking for my family or organizing my pantry.

I am piqued by anything that is not mainstream,and will do avid research on my current passion project…at the moment I am into antique dolls and the subsequent symbolism.But next week it might be the Etruscans that take my fancy.
