Between Hartland Quay and Blackpool Mill is the most beautiful scenery. The quality of the light and the colours of the landscape are simply breathtaking.

We strolled around the Brimfield Antique Market today. While we were definitely squicked out by a lot of the whole flea market scene, we did find some fabulous treasures.

'Katja' Commission.

After dyeing, I've been lately setting it in the microwave to heatset.

Dye was neon pink and neon purple, though I used quite a bit so it should be deeper.
