I'm adding a large black stripe here - Apparently I'm a tight knitter, and so I was running out of yarn! I saved enough stripy yarn to finish the toe with it :-)
Also - I have broken three bamboo needles with this one sock....and so now I'm using metal Addi's - which I LOVE!
possible submission to Lucy May Schofield's BABL project; another book in the she said/I said series
Preparing the canvas - at last. Months of research have led up to this moment. I'm almost scared to start
New castings from my workshop in silver - for ear cuffs, cuff links, rings and brooches. Finally, 'Stiffy' the wee prototype skeleton was finished, a mould made of and 'sons' were cast. He is the darkest skeleton on the right: The silver blackens slightly when a vulkanised rubber mould is made, due to the heat involved.
I started on Amber a week ago and just picked her back up. You can see where I've already ripped out part of her head and am starting over. As always, the dark colors aren't photographing very well.

Created with fd's Flickr Toys.
I've had an utterly unproductive day but don't particularly care - Hannah back at school, Emily at a friend's house for the INSET day and Paul in the office meant I had the house to myself for the first time in too long. A bit of admin, a bit of online browsing, tonight some sewing.
I'm about halfway done with Fred's face, working my way to her mouth, one of the hardest areas to get right.
This is the walled gardens at Holkham Hall. We got a ride on an open top bus around the grounds here. Was very windy and breezy.
The walled gardens cover six and a half acres and are divided into eight sections or rooms.
The gardens are currently being restored as part of the Walled Gardens Restoration Project, so it is mostly empty in here.
The original gardens date back to the late 1700s, and in 2010 they started to restore them to it's former glory.
2011 is the second year of the project.

I previously made a full sized mushroom and I am now trying out ideas for miniature versions.
These have to be simplified so that the small scale isn't swamped by too much detail.
overdyed grey and laundered, i put this jacket in the store window and it sold before i could get a picture of it. Look for a beautiful mysterious lady wearing something a little like this, but the color of woven granite.
