So most of you know that I've wanted to etch the top of my black macbook for some time now. Here is a sketch my brother drew for me; I like it! For those of you who don't know what etching is, here are some examples:

A small part of the medieval crypt survives from the pre-fire building and a delightful chapel has been made at the north east corner incorporating some beautiful back-lit etched glass panels.
St Bride's in Fleet Street is renowned for its famous 'wedding cake' spire (its unusual tiered form is said to have inspired the traditional form of today's wedding cakes). It is one of Christopher Wren's finest City of London churches and sits in a secluded space set back behind the facades of Fleet Street in a quiet enclosure of its own.
The interior was one of the more ornate of the City churches but was sadly burned out during the Blitz, leaving the famous spire and the gutted shell of the building after the War. The interior was restored in the 1950s in Baroque style, largely following the original design though deviating from it in the treatment of the east wall (decorated with a trompe-l'oeil mural and partially hidden by a large reredos) and collegiate style seating in the nave. The effect of the interior is therefore not as Wren left it, but is an impressive ensemble nonetheless.
Here we are passing Etches Park again, just after departing Derby. Those Cement presflo wagons may not have been in store after all. A Freightliner class 66 seems to have attached to the front of the rake of wagons so perhaps they were staging on their journey two or from the Hope works in the Peak District? It's 1245 on Saturday 24th September 2011.

I stamped the cling Etched Flowers stamp onto pp using Hero Arts chalk ink, Iris. I partly colored with Copic markers. i applied Flower Soft to the centers and leaves and cur around part of the image. Stitched onto black cardstock, mounted onto pinkish cs and heat embossed "hello" onto the black cs. This is a stamp I want to play with more!
On Friday April 18, seven of us drove 100 miles east of Portland to the mouth of the Deschutes River (at the Columbia) to camp overnight and ride the 22 mile out-and-back Deschutes Rail-Trail on Saturday. This is the start of the "dry side" of Oregon, so the landscape was appropriately arid and Western-y. It was a fun ride. The trail is a bit rough, but rideable, and we managed to avoid the goathead thorns that are notorious on the southern end of the trail. The weather was mostly good with the exception of a passing shower.
