The very beginning of a new exhibition piece which must be finished within the next two weeks.
It's all planned out, the fabric is bought/decorated and the designs printed.
All it needs is assembly.
It will be a very emotional piece.
Grease Alley, an industrial backwater neighborhood in a blade-runner/fifth-element genre. These shops back onto a trash and old parts-strewn gully, where the junk skiff comes by to pick up broken components, industrial leftovers, and the occasional "borrowed" part.

A new dragonfly species for me, we visited the Basingstoke Canal which is a well known location for Brilliant Emerald. This species is wary and constantly patrols the canal usually in the middle rarely coming close to the side and so photographs were very difficult. The 300mm f4 lens with 2x converter was too sluggish with focussing and so I ditched the converter and shot at 300mm, the smaller image size meant that I cropped the image later to increase the size of the dragonfly.

It is a teapot with a hinged top. It is a short, tubular bugle (the base functions as the bell. It is also a functioning whistle-flute...all hand constructed in porcelain.
UPDATE 23 Sept 2008 - Sad to report that following a successful bisque firing, some rough handling of this pot while removing red iron oxide stain resulted in a broken/shattered lid and a terribly disappointed crafter :(
As you can see there is a lot of tedious, time-consuming work involved in gourd carving. Where it has been carved out, it has been sanded smooth by hand. Some of the gourd was carved with my dremmel and other, more intricate areas with my Xacto knife.
You can also see from this photo that I am still working on sanding and carving. :)
Will post the next progress shots either tomorrow (Easter Day) or Monday.
Have a wonderful Sunday and Happy Easter to all!
This is the earliest bumblebee to nest in Britain and the common english name of Bombus pratorum is Early Nesting Bumblebee. They are tiny especially some of the first workers in April. Males, like this one, first appear as early as June.
