A few weeks ago I escaped from the tyrrany of the computer and spent all week in my studio making paper cuts.
Robins hatching.
This was taken on Sunday. I have not disturbed them since, so I hope they are still there. There are racoons around who would love to have these for a snack.

"Fort Popham is a Civil War-era coastal defense fortification at the mouth of the Kennebec River in Phippsburg, Maine. It is located in sight of the short-lived Popham Colony and, like the colony, named for George Popham, the colony's leader. The site is preserved as Fort Popham State Historic Site.
Construction of Fort Popham was authorized in 1857 as part of the Third System of fortifications but did not begin until 1861. The fort was built from granite blocks quarried on nearby Fox and Dix Islands. It had a 30-foot (9 m)-high wall facing the mouth of the Kennebec River and was built in a crescent shape, measuring approximately 500 feet (150 m) in circumference.
During the closing months of the American Civil War, from October 1864 to July 1865, the fort was garrisoned by the 7th Unassigned Company of Maine Infantry. The 7th Company was commanded by Captain Augustin Thompson, who is best known as the inventor of Moxie soda.
Fort Popham was originally designed to mount 42 heavy guns, a mix of 10-inch and 15-inch Rodman guns, but construction was halted in 1869 with only two of the planned three tiers completed. In the late 19th century, Fort Popham's armament consisted of 36 Rodman guns and some 300-pounder (10-inch) and smaller Parrott rifles. One of the Rodman guns was donated to the town of Bowdoinham to remember its soldiers who died in the Civil War. The cannon is still there. A 100-pounder (6.4-inch) Parrott rifle sits near the fort grounds; it was listed as being at the fort in 1903. The back side of Fort Popham was built with a low moated curtain containing a central gate and 20 musket ports.
War experience showed that masonry forts were vulnerable to modern rifled guns. As a result, in 1869 construction at Fort Popham stopped before the fortification was completed. The fort was garrisoned again after additional work was performed during the Spanish–American War and World War I. In the 1890s Fort Popham received new facilities for a controlled minefield in the river at the fort as part of the Endicott program of improved fortifications." (Wikipedia)
"Fort Popham Lighthouse:
1900 – Fort Popham Beacon, Kennebec River, Maine.—A fixed red lens lantern light was established on October 19, 1899.
1903 – Fort Popham beacon, Kennebec River, Maine.—A bell-tower was built and a 1,000-pound fog-bell struck by machinery was established. The light was taken from the spindle and placed on the bell tower, and a footbridge and plank walk leading to the shore were built,
1909 – The balance of the appropriation for light-keepers’ dwellings, made by the acts of March 4, 1907, and May 27, 1908, was applied to the construction of dwellings at the following-named light-stations: Fort Popham, Me.
1910 – Funds applied toward the construction of a new dwelling.
1910 – Isolated oil houses were erected at the following-named stations during the fiscal year 1910 from the appropriation "Oil houses for light-stations:"
1925 – Leroy L. Myers, keeper of Fort Popham Lighthouse, Me., on September 27, while a strong ebb tide was running, rendered assistance to two men who were clinging to the bottom of their dory which had upset near the lighthouse.
Keepers: Llewellyn Oliver (at least 1900 – 1913), Leroy L. Myers (1913 – 1929), Alonzo Morong (1929 – 1935), Eugene W. Osgood (1935 – 1941).
A modern light is displayed from a spindle atop the fort today. " (lighthousefriends.com)

I so nearly returned this skirt to ASOS because the length was inconsistent around the skirt. I decided to fix it myself, and in the process shorten it a little. I was very pleased with the result.
The Bionicastle contest has now concluded and the results are in!
For the Grand Ultimate Bioni-Castle Builder:
@krakenbricks with Alexander, the Roaming Titan
For the Castle Builders Choice:
@aiden.builds with Maruāpōtoa(knight) and Ekōru(horse)
And For the Bionicle Builders Choice:
Cornbuilder with Ulric the Firebright
Winners, I’ll be DMing you all shortly for getting the prizes to you!
-------------------------------------------
Before I wrap this up though I want to highlight 10 honorable mentions I’ve picked out, since there were a bunch of entries that were great and that I wanted to highlight! (In no particular order)
Siege Titan by Tino Poutiainen
This was really close to winning, I really love the personality this guy has plus lots of cool little details (I especially like the guy getting crushed)
That’s No Windmill! By Ivan Martynov
A really creative idea and I love the little robots on a horse and donkey each.
Knights of Mata Nui by Aaron Newmann
Great little system representations of the original 6 toa! Admittedly I have some slight issues with the proportions and shaping in places but I think it’s greatly out-wayed outweighed by the positives. Fantastic presentation too!
Forgotten Mines by hellboy.lego
Great castle build here! You absolutely nailed the rockwork and the rickety wooden bridges.
Crystal Dragon and Stone Protector by Valtarshol Ceirn
I really like both of these but in particular the dragon. The shaping is quite nice and I personally have a BIG soft spot for crystals in leg builds.
The Matoran Kingdom by unpixelled
Well this at least gets points for effort I can say that. I love the idea of turning the mata nui robot into a giant walking castle. It does lean a little hard on size over polish. I think a smaller build where you could spend more time polishing it would have gone a long way, but it’s still really cool regardless! I especially like all the details you put in like the trebuchet and the vines.
The Yellow Rook by spennybricks
Simple but effective! Cute little build combining classic castle and classic bionicle.
Malice by JakTheMad
Really great knight build here! Not 100% sure about the face but I appreciate the risk taken with it. I especially like how the armour pieces fit together nicely and the mace.
Bionic Plague by Armon Russ
Very nice interpretation of the theme and some stellar techniques going on here too!
Temple of Xalax by Optimus Convoy
While a simple build I appreciate the initiative and creativity taken to make a cool looking building out of bionicle pieces.
There were tons of other great entries that I haven’t listed here but please don’t feel disheartened, you all did a great job and I’m thrilled with the response from everyone! (especially given the odd theme)
That’s a wrap. Thanks again everyone!

For Down Under Challenge No. 968, starting with Ochileer's challenge image (see it in 1st comment below), I didn't have a clue what to do with this one, so, throughout the week, I'd occasionally try a Topaz filter, and then a few PSE filters, all just randomly with no goal in mind, and finally, when I ran out of time and had to post what I had, this is what I ended up with.
Congratulations to everyone chosen! It was a really tough choice but I think you all are wonderful and will do an amazing job. Thank you so much to everyone who applied!

The future of racing looks a lot like the past. This monocoque body houses a gasoline engine, which in turn powers an electric generator which powers the floating wheels. A series of magnetic pulses force the wheel rings to turn. The result is a modern, smooth racing experience with an aesthetic that hearkens back to the early days of auto racing.
