Making this piece was like solving a puzzle game where the words given to me were: movement, compass, circle and way.
Can you see how I connected the dots?
Her journey is *almost* done! She can't wait to find out where her forever home will be!
Thank you, Linda, and Sandra, for all of your hard work with this wonderful project, and for letting us be a part of it! Thank you to all of the hosts and hostesses who enjoyed Compass' visit and showed her so many wonderful things this year!
While Compass was home, I cleaned and sanded some dirty areas a bit, washed the back of her head, touched up a few freckles on her nose, gave her some new coats of spray matte, re-glossed her lips, gave her a little vinegar rinse to try to reduce the oxidation in her teal hair, and then washed and conditioned her hair. I'm going to glue down a little scalp gap at the back before I mail her out. (Thanks to those of you who cleaned her during her travels, she was in really good shape!)

Which way is south? The side that still has the leaves. Only useful until all the leaves fall off. :-)

āSailors believed that a compass rose tattoo would bring them good luck and ensure that they made it back to shore alive. Considering the rough lives these sailors endured, with unpredictable seas, malnutrition and other hazards, some luck was needed indeed.ā
When Iām sailing the roughest seas I need some luck to make it through.

Excerpt from the Origin of the Compass Rose by Bill Thoen
The compass rose has appeared on charts and maps since the 1300's when the portolan charts first made their appearance. The term "rose" comes from the figure's compass points resembling the petals of the well-known flower.
Originally, this device was used to indicate the directions of the winds (and it was then known as a wind rose), but the 32 points of the compass rose come from the directions of the eight major winds, the eight half-winds and the sixteen quarter-winds.
In the Middle Ages, the names of the winds were commonly known throughout the Mediterranean countries as tramontana (N), greco (NE), levante (E), siroco (SE), ostro (S), libeccio (SW), ponente (W) and maestro (NW). On portolan charts you can see the initials of these winds labeled around the edge as T, G, L, S, O, L, P, and M.
Delta Connection Embraer ERJ-175LR N609CZ operated by Compass Airlines lands at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport with a flight from Los Angeles. I heard today that the airline is due to cease operations within the next two weeks due to the impact of the current Coronavius outbreak - the world felt a very different place when I took this shot less than two months ago...

Volvo B10M-61 Plaxton Supreme V AAJ 674Y was supplied new to Roystons of Stockton in early 1983, following a shorter B10M-56 supplied the previous summer. I think this was just before the merger with Compass of Stockton leading to the well-known Compass Royston brand - any further details of those events would be most welcome. AAJ passed to Atkinsons, Ingleby Arncliffe in 1986 but returned home in 1995, eventually becoming a high capacity 3x2 seated school coach. By the time of this shot on 8th January, 2007, it had gained a slightly uncomfortable Paramount style front and a dark red and white livery which I believe was restricted to the school fleet.
