What a wonderful insect. The body is ~10mm long. I noticed it floating in the air like a seed on its parachute but it had control and could move to where it wanted to go. There was no breeze at the time either so it needed further investigation. I followed it and... This is what we found!

2/52. Learning about shutter speed.
This week I thought I'd play with shutter speeds to see what the effects were. I got my new sewing machine out to try and make something, but got a little frustrated at my lack of skill, so packed everything up and got the camera out instead! Maybe next week I'll have more success after I've been to my sewing class.
The thread is Baroque, Ecru, size 10. Crocheted with a Boye size 6 hook.
I made this some time ago and don't remember where the pattern came from; at a guess, it's an old issue of Decorative Crochet magazine.

When I first started trading ATCs I did a lot more digital work (that's the Raven in the right corner, for example.) My dog hates when I use the printer at home, so I stick to more hand drawn and collage these days. (Yes, I am bossed around by a corgi...)

I bought some magnetic clips for the whiteboard in my classroom...and then was quite depressed when I saw a colleagues bright, peg clips.
Tonight, it struck me that I could do something about that!!
