For TR, because he inspired it...I just don't have the inspiration or drive to finish it.

The idea was to create a submarine with the ability to deploy an aquatic-capable mobile suit. It more or less can do this, and has the rough shape I want, but I kind of lost interest and want to build something else. Maybe I will return to it one day...

for safe thinking:)

After four hard months of a total rebuild and extension I am now in possession of a studio. This is still a storage area pending decoration, and as I have to complete a four foot hanging in the next two days I am forced to work in a very tiny area in part of this room.

I have shown here my pin board with my "tapestry" attached to it. I am trying to position the daisy and the bottom border here. Lots more work to do!

by all means, not a comprehensive stack

Half completed items waiting for attention.

I had intended to spend the morning in the garden but a continuation of the recent heavy rain has caused a change of plan.

This scavenger hunt will be linked through twitter. These NL taps will be hidden throughout Northern Liberties, hints will be given each day for a week. The first person to find it will receive an open bar at participating NoLibs bars.

One of the rarest flowers in England. In fact so rare it has its own 20 foot by 40 foot cage for protection and visits to see the flower are by permit only and accompanied by the warden and arranged through the Wildlife Trust. The route into the flower was so overgrown and complicated (maybe deliberately so) that I'm not sure I could ever find it again anyway. It was also difficult to photograph given how far away the cage made us and several people in the group (30 people altogether) only had relatively short focal length macro lenses which would have meant a very small flower in their images. Not the greatest photograph but included for rarity value.

Work in Progress

Background still needs work and the odd bit of tweaking. Almost there

I might get around to doing the pot rather soon.

Perspective planning for the photo-work "226"

I enjoyed making this one :)

Nothing is quite like the start of a major piece.

I have laid down the base for a new suffrage work, and as I try to use the textile techniques which would have been familiar to the women of that era, I have decided to incorporate knitting and finger crochet.

The base of the work is a 2 foot square canvas which I have covered with a patchwork of hand dyed blanket pieces in shades of blue/green/yellow.

On top of this I am creating a random surface of finger crochet and knitting in both wool and fabric.

This shows the section where I have used wool.

It is a work in progress and as I am in free fall with this one, who knows where it is going!

Old progress pics of the last stages of Ingenue before molding.

I'm learning what I can do with my new camera, and it seems that photographing fire is rather tricky. I'll be working on this.

enjoyable couple of hours

I'm committed to a selling exhibition next week - I thing I avoid if at all possible.

So it's down to batch production methods.

Here is the start of some of my whimsies which I make out of air dry clay and fabric.

These are tiny creatures - the largest is two inches in length.
