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

Been a long time since I posted, I have been dealing with #longcovid and had very little energy for much at all. My lovely mother-in-law signed me up for a free bunch of @freddiesflowers and I slowly put them together this morning sat on the floor so I can sit back and enjoy for a bit now.

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.

I'm especially lucky to have a playground right outside our house when I can't go much distance at all at the moment. Eli and I spotted all these signs of spring between sit downs. There is a totally unreal brightness in this winter sun and such a surprising warmth.

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)
