of a Crane fly. It previously seemed to be dapping (laying eggs on the water surface), and seemed to be having a rest. Shortly afterwards it was mating (next photo)
These staff cadets were acting silly just before the Staff Cadet formal dinner and dance the last week of camp.
This photo is special to me as I know all three of these cadets were devoted to doing their assigned jobs this summer to the best of their ability, but despite lots of hard work and some very long days they never lost their sense of the ridiculous or took themselves too seriously.

Beatrix Potter
Watercolour on paper
Beatrix first drew the little mouse Appley Dapply in 1891. Over the next ten years she invented new characters and composed verses inspired by traditional nursery rhymes. In 1905 she sent Norman Warne a manuscript containing 19 verses. Although he selected his favourites, the project was shelved. It wasn't until 1917 that Beatrix encouraged Frederick Warne & Co to publish a small selection with some of her original, and some re-worked, illustrations.

Beatrix Potter: Drawn to Nature
(March 2022 to November 2022)
Celebrating the life and work of one of the best loved children's authors of the 20th century.
Beatrix Potter: Drawn to Nature is the first exhibition to tell the complete life story of Beatrix Potter, one of the best loved authors of children's fiction in the 20th century. Realised through a major partnership with the National Trust, this playful and interactive exhibition invites visitors of all ages to rediscover this household name and explore the full breadth of her achievements and multifaceted life, from storyteller to natural scientist and conservationist.
The exhibition showcases over 200 personal objects including artworks, rarely seen letters, manuscripts, sketches, coded diaries, family photographs, commercial merchandise and personal artefacts. It celebrates her early talent for storytelling, her business acumen and her fascination with the scientific study of the natural world, as well as her passion for sheep farming and conservation – a legacy still felt today.
Across four sections, the exhibition follows Potter's journey from London to the Lake District, where she eventually settled. The first section, Town and Country, provides a backdrop to her childhood in South Kensington in London; Under the Microscope highlights Potter's interest in natural science; A Natural Storyteller reveals her almost accidental journey to becoming a best-selling author; finally, Living Nature follows Potter to the Lake District and celebrates her profound impact on the natural landscape.

The Smart Citizens Workshop was a blend of sensor technology, digital fabrication, data analysis and environmental activism, bringing together a group of able and motivated participants, being taught by top-notch maker gurus from Waag Society, data-visualization experts of FGV_DAPP, and with access to the IED Labs and the Olabi Fablab.
This series of resin pendants were inspired by a group of vintage Valentine's Day cards that I found at an antique shop. The cards had been written upon and sent to the owners' sweethearts. They looked like they had been saved for years and well loved. I like the idea of taking a piece from someone's long ago love affair and adding that to a piece of jewelry, possibly to be bought and sent by someone to their own love. It gives it a history of hearts!
They are made from brass with Ice Resin and various found objects, brass components, bits of paper, match sticks, and glass beads. The resin is crystal clear, and very reflective, and amplifies the collage inside the brass pendant with amazing detail. Unfortunately, they are so reflective, they are a bit hard for me to photograph, but I love each one dearly!
This pendant was made from a raw brass frame pendant, which was heated with flame to give it interesting coloration. Some of the pendants in this series were also hand domed with a hammer and dapping block. The pendant was then carefully filled with the paper and found object bits and covered with a water-like layer of crystal clear resin.
