She paints, she draws, she rarely talks about herself in the third person. Stone botherer. Oil painter. No AI. No DMs.
I borrowed a badge making machine from my very kind friend @geologydisco.bsky.social and I'm making Jonkonnu badges from drawings of costumes I've made, for an event next weekend. This was the first batch, some of the text doesn't fit so will fix that. What badges have you made?

Swung by The Devil's Quoits on my way back from Oxford today. I visited years ago but forgot to put a memory card in my DSLR that time. It's a weird place, now in the middle of an industrial site. It feels a bit sterile. Glad I went nonetheless. #standingstonesunday

Portal 18. A naturally occurring portal taking you god knows where... only the trees know. Looks inviting on the other side though doesn't it. Somewhere in Staffordshire.

I see your cute guinea pig church kneeler and I raise you this surfing church kneeler from Manorbier, Cornwall (of course).

People of Derby! I'm looking forward to being part of this event with a killer lineup on Nov 29th.

Callout for performers - if you know anyone who wants to come and wear one of my folk costumes for a freestyle performance please reply to this :)

My favourite recent finds. Tiny teeth marks in half eaten acorns. I assume a squirrel...?

Portal 14, St Ann, Jamaica.

If you have spare money (I know, in this economy) please consider donating to help people in Jamaica recover from the extensive damage caused by hurricane Melissa.

supportjamaica.gov.jm official gov website, or research local Jamaican charities. Be wary of scams!

Speaking of dead horses, I have a right goofball here. My version of a Horse Head costume from Jamaican Jonkonnu. He's tall (extendable pole). He's big (about the same size as a horse skull). He's silly (rosette winning levels of goofy).

A greatcoat with embroidered details, moss, and a spine? Deepest coat envy. Plus skulls at the feet.

Hunting for skeletons in the Frankenstein Exhibition yesterday at Selfridges. Difficulty level low. First item an immediate success - a beautiful illustrated Frankenstein from 1831. If you can go see the exhibition you really should. It's extensive and it's free.

Forgot to add to the skeleton list the skull in The Ambassadors, 1533. I love this painting. The first photo is the closest I've gotten to finding the right angle to see the skull unwarped.

Only now do I realise this image is yours. It's been in my room for almost 2 years, looking at me from the bookshelf.
