I painted a chipboard bird to look like a European robin, one of the first birds of spring. It has a forsythia blossom in its beak. Here's a close-up detail of the head.
I think I might create a "seasonal bird of the month" with the other chipboard birds and cages I have.
I love Templeton Rye. So much that I decided I needed to buy one of their used Rye Whiskey aging casks to make into a rain barrel. Enjoy the images!

The Fog
Release Year: 2005
The inhabitants of Antonio Island, off the coast of Oregon, are about to unveil a statue honoring the four men (Castle, Wayne, Williams and Malone) who founded their town in 1871. Nick Castle is one of the descendants of the men, and owns a fishing charter company, using his vessel, the Seagrass, for tourism. When his girlfriend Elizabeth Williams returns to the island after spending six months in New York, a bizarre series of events begin to occur, including several gruesome deaths and the presence of a mysterious fog. When Elizabeth slips in Nick's boathouse and falls into the sea, she finds an old journal from 1871, written by Patrick Malone, one of the town's founders. It tells how a man named Blake bought half the island for use as a leper colony. While bringing his people to Antonio Island in their clipper ship, the Elizabeth Dane, Blake is betrayed by Castle, Wayne, Williams and Malone. The four men locked Blake and his people in the vessel, stole their money and possessions, and then set fire to the ship, killing everyone aboard. In the present day, the ghosts of Blake and his crew have risen from their watery grave to seeking revenge on the descendants of the four men
Over the weekend, I had a chance to work on this project that was inspired by another map project. Still in Progress.

Beat together the butter and sugar until pale and creamy, then beat in the yolk, vanilla and zest. Sift the flour and salt into the bowl, then stir in to make a soft dough. Split into two flat discs, then wrap in cling film and chill for 30 mins, or until firm but not rock hard. Meanwhile, heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line two baking sheets with baking parchment.
Flour the work surface, then roll the dough to the thickness of 2 x £2 coins. Stamp circles with an 8cm cutter and re-roll the trimmings. If you like, pinch a speech bubble point into the bottom of each round. Chill for 10 mins, or until firm, then poke cake pop sticks carefully into the dough. (I find putting one hand on top of the dough as I insert the stick with the other prevents the stick from popping through the surface of the dough.)
Bake for 12 mins, until pale golden. Leave on the tray for 5 mins before lifting to a wire rack (use a palette knife rather than the sticks) and cooling completely. Make the icing by beating sugar and egg white until thick and smooth. Remove half to another bowl, colour it, then spoon into a disposable piping bag and snip off the tip (or use a number 2 nozzle). Pipe a speech bubble border around each cookie and leave to set for a few mins.
Now loosen the white icing with a few drops of water until runny. Spoon a little onto each cookie and let it flood to the outline, nudging it up to the edge if needed using a cocktail stick or tip of a teaspoon. Dry for 10 mins, then pipe captions on top. Leave to dry. Keep the cookies in an airtight tin for up to 3 days.
