Snow day! Snow day!!

A view of the hills this morning. Had to find my coat and walk the doggie before coffee or breakfast - he loves this stuff (and has been bugging me to go back outside ever since...)

If I've GOT to wait while the strawberry bed is being weeded, I may as well dig myself a bed in the compost heap.

I knitted a frog! I'm making this a thread of pics related to me trying to get into playing around with miniatures.

Drove through Glencoe in the summer and thought it deserved a revisit. Cabin in the woods, dog, kettle, perfect 👌

Could you be considered a casualty of the Wars of the Roses if you were killed by an old halberd falling off a wall or something
Now I’m wondering what’s the oldest possible war you could still considered to be a casualty of if you got injured on a weapon from it current day. Like is there a cutoff for this kind of thing. Because I would like to live to an old age and then go out with a good story so I’m just wondering

I let Lumi loose on our morning walk, because I like living dangerously. Times he listened to me: 0. Times he disappeared: 3. Sticks he chewed: All of them. Treats he thought he deserved for his exemplary behaviour: 54534818723. Treats he got despite his behaviour just because he's cute: 54534818723

Here is a commission that I worked on recently. I love to embroider wrens, they’re so cute and sassy 😊
I needle felted the colours and shape first then embroidered the detail. I think it’s pretty cute 😊

I regret to inform you that Lumi dropped one of his legs somewhere and I can't find it. I know they eventually grow them back like lizards but I'm devastated, I looked e v e r y w h e r e

Felt like some green this morning. So playing around with arranging some of my small pieces of stitching and paper again. This makes my mind happy.

Received the scans from the roll I shot through my Mamiya with the repaired 80mm f2.8 lens (old 'chrome' type). Will share more later. This is one of my favourites with the train passing over the rail bridge at Moncrieffe Island, Perth. 🙂

Camera: Mamiya C3
Film: Kodak Gold 200

Books galore and now in colour. I added colour to a copy of my drawing of Barter Books, Alnwick. A bit of colour can make a big difference.

Goodnight. May we all sleep under the safekeeping of gimlet-eyed owls until we wake to morning’s flush.

🪦 Happy Halloween everyone!!! 🎃

I don't have any recent sculptures that are particularly spooky unfortunately, but here's a repost of an older project I had a lot of fun making - a catbat automaton!🐈‍⬛🦇

Hello little ones... what will you be when you grow up? 🌱

I love seeing other people's unfinished art projects and workspaces, so here is a gaggle of paper mache gremlins - soon to be sanded, painted, and given spun cotton blankets :')

Downfall - mixed media painting of a broken oak in Wharfedale, North Yorkshire. Possibly lightning struck; the tangle of limbs is already being colonised by fungi.
