Progress of two handpuppets for Ragged Wing's "Open." These still need maché, paint, and fabric costumes.
I will saw cut a crown with glow in the dark plastic and make an angel and some roses with pure silver.
So I start by lightly tracing the face shapes, then carefully painted the faces one by one, usually some will not pass (will not become dolls). I figure if I am going to mess up painting the faces, I might as well mess up first rather than mess up a completed doll ^^;
Blush is usually added right at the end :)
This is one of the stages involved in making my brooches - sewing the fastening pin onto the leather backing with nylon thread.
Backdropped by the blackness of space and the Earth’s horizon, an unpiloted Progress supply vehicle approaches the aft port of the Zvezda Service Module (out of frame) on the International Space Station (ISS), completing a two-day automated flight. The Progress 6 craft, which launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Monday, November 26, 2001, carried more than a ton of food, fuel and equipment for the Expedition Four crew members.

Almost home from work I could see in the distance the work lights of the construction crew, putting up the bridge. I happened to have my tripod and TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II.

Data la presenza elevata di tiny in casa mia non posso fare a meno di provare a cucire io qualcosa perché altrimenti andrebbero in giro tutte nude <.< Ecco cose esce quendo mi metto alla macchina da cucire...
Now I saw in my dream, that just as they had ended this talk, they drew nigh to a very miry slough that was in the midst of the plain: and they being heedless, did both fall suddenly into the bog. The name of the slough was Despond. Here, therefore, they wallowed for a time, being grievously bedaubed with the dirt; and Christian, because of the burden that was on his back, began to sink in the mire.
Pliable: Then said Pliable, Ah, neighbor Christian, where are you now?
Christian: Truly, said Christian, I do not know.
Pliable: At this Pliable began to be offended, and angrily said to his fellow, Is this the happiness you have told me all this while of? If we have such ill speed at our first setting out, what may we expect between this and our journey’s end? May I get out again with my life, you shall possess the brave country alone for me. And with that he gave a desperate struggle or two, and got out of the mire on that side of the slough which was next to his own house: so away he went, and Christian saw him no more.
Wherefore Christian was left to tumble in the Slough of Despond alone; but still he endeavored to struggle to that side of the slough that was farthest from his own house, and next to the wicket-gate; the which he did, but could not get out because of the burden that was upon his back: but I beheld in my dream, that a man came to him, whose name was Help, and asked him what he did there.
Christian: Sir, said Christian, I was bid to go this way by a man called Evangelist, who directed me also to yonder gate, that I might escape the wrath to come. And as I was going thither, I fell in here.
Help: But why did not you look for the steps?
Christian: Fear followed me so hard that I fled the next way, and fell in.
Help: Then, said he, Give me thine hand: so he gave him his hand, and he drew him out, and he set him upon sound ground, and bid him go on his way.
Then I stepped to him that plucked him out, and said, “Sir, wherefore, since over this place is the way from the city of Destruction to yonder gate, is it, that this plat is not mended, that poor travellers might go thither with more security?” And he said unto me, “This miry slough is such a place as cannot be mended: it is the descent whither the scum and filth that attends conviction for sin doth continually run, and therefore it is called the Slough of Despond; for still, as the sinner is awakened about his lost condition, there arise in his soul many fears and doubts, and discouraging apprehensions, which all of them get together, and settle in this place: and this is the reason of the badness of this ground.
“It is not the pleasure of the King that this place should remain so bad.His laborers also have, by the direction of his Majesty’s surveyors, been for above this sixteen hundred years employed about this patch of ground, if perhaps it might have been mended: yea, and to my knowledge,” said he, “there have been swallowed up at least twenty thousand cart loads, yea, millions of wholesome instructions, that have at all seasons been brought from all places of the King’s dominions, (and they that can tell, say, they are the best materials to make good ground of the place,) if so be it might have been mended; but it is the Slough of Despond still, and so will be when they have done what they can.
“True, there are, by the direction of the Lawgiver, certain good and substantial steps, placed even through the very midst of this slough; but at such time as this place doth much spew out its filth, as it doth against change of weather, these steps are hardly seen; or if they be, men, through the dizziness of their heads, step beside, and then they are bemired to purpose, notwithstanding the steps be there: but the ground is good when they are once got in at the gate.” Now I saw in my dream, that by this time Pliable was got home to his house. So his neighbors came to visit him; and some of them called him wise man for coming back, and some called him fool for hazarding himself with Christian: others again did mock at his cowardliness, saying, “Surely, since you began to venture, I would not have been so base as to have given out for a few difficulties:” so Pliable sat sneaking among them. But at last he got more confidence, and then they all turned their tales, and began to deride poor Christian behind his back. And thus much concerning Pliable.
The pieces were roughly presorted, but my son mixed the bags one day, so during a second (and a bit more thorough) sorting, i put the "obvious" pieces in their space.
Cossham Birth Centre, in Kingswood, is scheduled to open in January 2013. These pictures show progress on building work in October 2012.
Mums-to-be who are having a straightforward pregnancy and would like a natural birth, may be able to choose the homely environment of the Cossham free-standing birth centre rather than a traditional hospital setting.
Facilities at Cossham Birth Centre have been designed to provide comfort and support in labour and include:
* 4 en-suite birth rooms furnished with floor mats, cushions and birth balls to support you
* A water pool in each birth room, should you wish to relax and/or give birth in water
* Entonox (gas and air), TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation), aromatherapy and Pethidine to help with labour
* A double bed in each room so your partner may stay with you and your baby after the birth
* Use of a communal kitchen and dining area where light snacks will be available
