‘One Morning in May…’
I have been investigating English Folk Music recently. This spate of interest is mainly inspired by seeing the awesome Rachel Unthank and the Winterset playing recently in Oxford, and becoming somewhat obsessed with their CD.

Secrets.

Today I have been secretly knitting something joyous, which can be shared (happily) on Ravelry, since the intended recipient of this particular gift is not a Raveller. All I will say is that I am even more in love with the Fyberspates Robin colourway now than […]
Messy Studio…
After reading Ysolda’s post featuring her workspace, I decided we needed a recent photo of The Studio. I am not sad it is such a mess; the state it’s in is representative of yesterday’s wrapping-paper making, in which much fun was had. To make said wrapping paper I assembled rubber stamps from my collection, old […]

Many plots are afoot… The new project is to be a sonic advent calendar, […]

Additionally, a small group of us came together to discuss The Fantastical Reality Radio Show, making the whole week feedbacktastic. Feedback Shed book. Working on the book has been a real process of valuing commentary and […]

Nature Art in Reading
Continuing with our Reading: An Open Gallery blog post series, today I want to talk about art experiences that can be had relating to the concept of ‘nature.’ In Reading Museum, there is an incredible room called The Box Room. With an emphasis on touching and handling objects from the past, this installation causes viewers […]
