Le squelette d'hypsignathe (Hypsignathus monstrosus) que je monte avance petit à petit. Au départ je cherchais un crâne de mâle, et je me suis retrouvée il y a un an avec un squelette complet dans un état plus ou moins momifié. A cette époque, n'étant pas du tout familiarisée avec les techniques de nettoyage, j'en ai essayé plusieurs, pas forcément appropriées, ce qui fait que j'ai finis par perdre certains petits os (carpes et tarses notamment). Je me suis découragée plusieurs fois, mais au bout d'un an, ça commence enfin à prendre forme. Les os sont collés un par un. Pour le moment je n'ai toujours pas attaché le crâne et les ulnas, et je n'ai pas trouvé de solution qui me convienne pour remplacer les cartilages sternaux et avoir enfin la ceinture scapulaire qui tienne au tronc par autre chose que de la patafix. J'ai parfois du mal pour le montage et retrouver l'emplacement exact de certains os car d'une part, l'adaptation étonnante des chauves-souris pour le vol fait que je connais moins bien leur ostéologie que celle d'autres mammifères ; et d'autre part parce que c'est une espèce sur laquelle je trouve peu de documentations (et elle est quand même vraiment plus grosse que la plupart des autres espèces qu'on voit habituellement montées, avec une envergure pouvant aller jusqu'à 97 cm). Je n'ai pas non plus terminé le support. Je vous en parlerai plus et mettrai quelques photos step-by-step quand elle sera terminée.
Suddenly i was not allowed to be creative anymore.....but isnt it impressive to IM and draw at the same time?? LOL Monti Kristo was feeling the vibe and he liked it too!! :-)
I am leading a workshop called "The Book Artist as an explorer" and as a result I have discovered some treasures which have been hidden from view for a while.
I am now inspired to carry on with some work which has been left unfinished for some time
This is some sea glass collected on the beaches of Orkney and Shetland.
Lobster/Crab pots waiting to have new entrance hatches fitted. Seen on the Quay at Mudeford Christchurch Dorset UK.
Ok, here I go planning another monstosity for Brickvention in January, which my girlfriend gets to keep after-would, she has to help build it though, that's the deal :) I love the TLG colour scheme for their Rivendell set so I'll be stealing/paying homage to that. I plan to have two large cliffs on either side to give a small sense of scale of the ravine. At the moment I'm just playing with some building shapes while I wait for more parts. Dave Kaleta's version, which I'm happy to say I got to see and fondle in real life at BrickCon '11, is a big inspiration for this.
Lounge of Autumn Stream House MOC.
Autumn Stream House MOC is a modern home lying among the trees coloured by autumn. Underneath a small stream is living its own life. The house is inspired by modernism and organic architecture.
Just a little update pic. Still not done but getting there. The shawl/arm ribbon seems a bit thick after I hemmed it but I have no other option right now :/. Still looks good I think.

... having a closer look at my compass showed that I can attach my cutting knife to it. Circle Tessellations here I come. Thanks to Robin for inspiration and diagrams on how to grid a circle.
I bought this pair of compasses for Origami purposes. Chose this one mainly for the thing, you see still in the box which makes it possible to draw large circles.
