We arrived by train at Wymondham, and met my parents and their two border collies. we walked our dogs together around the Lizard Common. Wolfy loves the company of other dogs - but border collies act wierd. They like playing sheepdog - crouching in the grass and running after a thrown toy kong. The two collies are crouched in the long grass behind wolfy - can you see them?
Sculpting in wool is very different than sculpting in clay or stone. Sculpting with wool is essentially an additive process with little ability to undo. The applying the wool is a very organic process and it is constantly changing as you work with it. Whether it be wet felting or needle-felting, it is very difficult to control the very specific direction of the wool. All the fibers are being matted together in a variety of directions, so the end result, no matter how much the artist tries to control it, tend to mush and curve inward.
For these reasons, it is extremely challenging to create geometric shapes, like flat surfaces, perfect circles, squares, edges, etc.

As with all of my work, my triptych sculpture “Love & Hate” is made entirely out of merino wool. These are not felt-covered objects nor is there a foam base nor a wire frame beneath the surface. It is 100% tightly packed, hot-pink merino wool which was sculpted by poking it thousands of times using barbed felting needles.
Josep Borrell, Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Former Italian and French Prime ministers, Giuliano Amato and Jean-Marc Ayrault, Louise Arbour, UN Special Representative for International Migration supported by more than 30 well-know international academics send message in New York that the world still needs migrants.
Calling on world leaders in the context of the UN General Assembly, European think tank The Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS) presented its groundbreaking strategy for a new global migration policy based on the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration
Taking place after the Salzburg EU summit, where EU leaders showed their unity on Brexit and their division on migration, the Call for a different migration offered for the first time a global progressive narrative. This counter narrative by opposition to the current debate on migration assumes in particular, to use and define clearly such words as borders, security or identity, which have been captured by right wing populists for so long now. Contributors underlined also how leaders such Orban or Salvini have been instrumentalising migration for their nationalist cause and are not looking for a solution.

One of My Favourite Picture. Shoot in Pushkar Camel Fair, Rajasthan, 2012.
Also Appears in Editor's Choice on 500px.
Pushkar, Rajasthan.
I often get pre-occupied with the vast landscapes of earth and space while forgetting the small things so when I recently had a chance to shoot these gorgeous critters it reminded me how much I love some good old down to earth wildlife photography.
Open to any critique, help me grow ;) #streetphotography #street #blackandwhite #people #city #street #streetphoto #bw #colors
Different views in different lighting these eyes were striking, but don't fit any of my characters/doll personalities. So They're up for sale! Made by Dollmore!
In Potosi Bolivia you can get a tour of a working mine that has no safety regulations at all! No company owns the mine just miners who have stakes in different parts. This means no one is responsible for safety or controlling who enters the mine, allowing for silly tourists like me to visit and give them a few basic gifts (with a guide).
It was a hot 35C from the natural heating and pretty strong odor/dust.
Here they are loading a basic cart full of rock they will push/pull to a pulley a few hundred meters away. It is horribly difficult and dangerous work. Enjoy your zinc and silver!
Much better if you View Large

Here I have been experimenting with different techniques and so on - texturing metal, using Liver of Sulphur, line folding copper, mixing together Renaissance Wax and Bronze Powder just to see what would happen when it was applied to metal.
The small piece of copper was hammered and then dipped in LoS. I then applied the Renaissance Wax mixture. It was left overnight and then I sanded it to try to get the LoS patina beneath with the Renaissance Wax and Bronze Powder mixture high-lighted on the top. This didn't happen - the wax mixture wouldn't budge so I buffed it up and it shone. Then I thought about burnishing it. I got my burnisher and went over the copper with it - it looked fabulously shiny!!!
I was also working on a basic 'Line Fold' (Fold Forming) - annealing the copper and folding it, hammering it along the fold on both sides, annealing it and then opening it carefully with a craft knife and then carefully hammering it on the front. I did this several times.
I then applied my Renaissance Wax and Bronze mixture along each 'line fold', leaving it overnight. I got my burnisher and 'burnished' along each line. It made each line shine beautifully - it doesn't show particularly well in the photo. I love experimenting - what's not to love? :-)
A change of route on Thursday. Instead of going up Station Road, I went down into the village and out along Kingsdown Road.
Plenty of spring bulbs out, though not what I was looking for.
Grand views from the road over to our house and to Windy Ridge.
A few people out, mostly walking dogs, and a farmer was flaying the hedges in one final attempt to kill all wildlife in the area.
Sigh.
I walk down Norway Dove, down to The Dip, where it was passable, and finally up the other side to Fleet House, back in under an hour, and feeling better for some fresh air.
Enrique implemented different infill strategies in his new skeinforge release. We had to test these out :)
Each bridesmaid was a little bit different. They had different combinations of bells of ireland, green goddess calla lilies, cymbidiums, spider mums, kermit mums, dogeye, viburnum, dyanthus, and anemones
«Les politiciens réunis à Montréal dimanche pour le 33e défilé de la Fierté gaie étaient unanimes: l'heure était à la célébration des différences plutôt qu'aux politicailleries de bas étage.
Pauline Marois, la seule première ministre à avoir assisté au défilé pendant l'exercice de ses fonctions, a souligné que la société québécoise était certes riche de sa diversité, mais que ces acquis demeuraient fragiles et qu'il importait de «parler haut et fort» pour que la lutte se poursuive.
Un discours avec lequel les dizaines d'élus municipaux, provinciaux et fédéraux présents - dont Denis Coderre, Philippe Couillard, Françoise David et Justin Trudeau, entre autres -, étaient tous d'accord.
Le président de l'organisation du défilé, Éric Pineault, a renchéri en affirmant que l'acceptation sociale était de plus en plus marquée au Québec mais qu'il marcherait, dimanche, pour ses frères et soeurs de l'Afrique, de la Russie et du Moyen-Orient, qui ne peuvent s'afficher librement sans risquer des peines de prison, voire leur vie.
Aucun représentant conservateur
Aucun représentant du gouvernement conservateur de Stephen Harper n'était sur place. M. Pineault a toutefois signalé que, pour la première fois, Patrimoine Canada avait octroyé une aide financière de 30 000 $ à l'événement.
Le défilé s'est mis en branle vers 13h, sur le boulevard René-Lévesque, à l'intersection de la rue Guy, et devait se diriger vers l'est jusqu'à la rue Sanguinet. Plusieurs dizaines de milliers de spectateurs ont assisté à l'événement.
Un spectacle devrait se dérouler plus tard au parc Émilie-Gamelin.
Des centaines d'équipes sportives, groupes culturels et religieux, ainsi que des organisations gaies, lesbiennes, bisexuelles et transgenres ont participé à l'événement de dimanche, qui existe depuis 1979.»
