Okay another swap going on here. I hope she ain't looking. Hey I just noticed my "new" 1980's bracelets got in the photo too. They are soooo cool I remember having loads of those and some matching jelly shoes too.

In the UK this rare orchid is now confined to the southern part of England where it lives in short, cropped grass on chalk or limestone. The small size and overall green-yellow colouration would make it difficult to find although it can be in such huge numbers at Noar Hill that it doesn't take you too long. The name comes from the strong honey scent.

I have beautiful things to play with this week, like gorgeous wool blanketing samples. Incredibly soft, they will be put to work in January to make some very special Cuddly Cats.

typing onto tissue paper, unfortunately I dropped my favourite typewriter, so having to use my £4 Imperial tab-o-matic!

Still experimenting... with post-processing (:

Okay so there is this person that keeps getting rid of this really great vintage knit fabric. All I have to say is one man's trash is another man's treasure. Gosh I just love thrift stores.

This sample shows woven newspaper and painted calico stitched together with an applied phototransfer.

These will hopefully add colour and texture to the new piece of work

One of the later Orchids to flower on chalk downland is the Pyramidal Orchid.

Really need to re-edit this photo. The colours are all wrong.

Work in progress: Skeleton carved from a 35 mm silver bar in silver frame. The skeleton has been drilled and burred out of the solid silver bar for many hours, but still needs more detail work. It will become a prototype for casting - and eventually become an element of casket brooches and pendants, mortuary slab rings and somesuch. It was originally inspired by a visit to the National Museum of Scotland, with the Mummy exhibition and permanent exhibits.
