Another nature walk thanks to #woodlandtrust the 🐸 fortune teller #origami has developed a voice and apparently the power to convince my #toddlersofinstagram to take a walk, we spotted everything on the list except ladybirds which we'll hunt for in the garden.

Prepared to do some casting yesterday. Not sure I've been as thorough as I tried to be quicker so we'll see.

I've not had the energy or mental space to be creative in recent weeks but I have tried to stop to enjoy the gorgeous things around, especially those we planted in those early lock down days.

Does anyone know why the casting and pouring makes these amazing bands of colours? I wondered if it's the smoke and has from the petrabond clay changing what oxygen it has?

A little series on inherented treasures. I got a lovely sewing stool/table stuffed with odds and ends of two generations of crafty ladies.

It took days and days but managed to scratch the creative itch with some origami. Definitely a sign of recovery. Shame I can't sit up at the table and do not yet but a few weeks ago I still had to lay down most of the day so I am trying to stay optimistic. #origami #beautifulpaper #longcovid

Some process pictures from my casting experiments.

Some process pictures from my casting experiments. I forgot to get a photo of the first one with the spru attached but you can see what it was like from the second one. I used the saw and drill to make the bail.

Shopping this I realised how much I love play as part of a making process; I didn't want to just reproduce a shape entirely and I wondered if the copper would fuse. After the first go it didn't so I used a smaller one in the second just to make the indent and it fused this time 🤣. Now I'm playing at putting different dishes in the first one seeing how they look.

Went to grab a few embroidery threads to pad out the Halloween pumpkin craft kit Eli and I started at the weekend. Forgot I inherited these and there are even a few patterns in there, intended projects. I feel like I might have inherited something else also.

A couple of photos from casting and the weird mist

A couple of photos from casting and the weird misty view from the window that day. It's been a rough week with constant tension headaches, probably not helped by hormones and every single bit of news I've managed not to avoid so looking back on the lovely is nice.

I am not a terribly serious person, this may well be coming across by now, I like to have a bit of fun while working.

I started this a long time ago playing with a design theme I do a lot of (copper wires soldered into holes drilled through silver)
