之前搞的那个 Shaker 挂柜一直拖着没搞完（某道工序卡住了），但又自我感觉做得蛮不错的（德性），不想放在车房积灰，就放在卧室的五斗柜顶上。某晚一看，嚯，被女儿近来的钩针作品“占领”了，还怪合适的，是不是可以憧憬一下父女档摆摊儿去？（此处该有星星眼🤩）

Landscape in a match box.

Maybe not a very exciting scene, but the place means something to me. And now I can take it anywhere! 😊

#embroidery #sewing #craft #fiberarts #art

An aerial view of four fields (one in each corner) with a road going between them horizontally and a river going between them vertically. The image is embroidered with lots of French knots for trees in the hedgerows. The scene fits in a match box and is shown in the swan vesta box with a plant in the background.

I am one of very few female drystone wallers in Scotland & the world. Below are some things I've worked on. I am very often inspired by traditional drystone structures like planticrus and sheep stells and enjoy bringing their beauty and functionality into our modern lives.

For more nerdy stone stuff...

The black on this mug comes from terra sigillata made from a ball of manganese-rich New Mexico clay my friend gave me. After they’re done firing, I lightly sand the exterior of each mug with a fine-grain sandpaper. The handles become smooth and soft to the touch.

An artful, handmade mug by Osa Atoe. It is narrower at the top than at the bottom and is painted matte black and dark red with faded aqua accents. The handle is black, fluid and smooth. There is a white chevron band of decoration along the bottom.

Side view of the same mug. From this angel, we see two aqua Vs pointing up and down at each other and dark red triangles pointing left and right at each other, all converging in the center. The background is black. There are small tactile dotted details as well.

This is Ned.

Ned is handmade.

Ned is unique - there will only ever be one Ned.

Ned is made from scraps that would otherwise be thrown away - he’s economical with materials.

Ned is tangible (and he has a fluffy tail).

Ned is unpolished and imperfect.

Ned is the product of imagination.

Ned makes me smile.

Ned is everything I believe we lose when we accept Generative AI into our lives.

Ned is me venting my frustration.

Ned is a small protest.

Small crocheted rabbit. It’s made from lots of different coloured pieces of cotton yarn. It’s easy are far to big for it and its legs are very short

awhile back, I made a teapot to give as a gift to my Canadian friend.

It just came out of the kiln. I think she is going to like it!

Just finished this 5-metre-long drystone seating area on the banks of a loch.

It stands about 1.5m tall and will hold a single piece of oak across the three protruding stones to form a bench.

The idea was to create something rooted in the land, not just placed on it. Sheltered, steady, and quietly purposeful. A place to pause and reflect.

Built by hand, no mortar, just time, attention, and stone. All materials sourced locally.

#Drystone #Craft #Scotland #Sustainable #Environment #Nature

A head-on shot of the finished drystone wall, showing the full arch and the even, tight stonework. The three large protruding stones, meant to hold a bench, are clearly visible. Behind, a stand of thin trees in early leaf frames the scene.

A close, angled view of the wall from the right-hand side. The depth of the wall and the precise fit of the stones are visible. The three bench supports jut out confidently, and the coping stones curve cleanly along the top edge.

A wide view of a newly built drystone wall, recessed into a grassy bank with a light woodland backdrop. The wall features a curved arch of upright coping stones along the top and three protruding flat stones spaced across the middle, intended to support a bench. Earth around the wall is still rough from the recent build.

Cover art for CD1 (a photo of a weathered shed behind a stone house in St. Marys), playlist laminated to inside card, a fuchsia CD and the 'BLUES & PEWS' box top all laid out on yhe self-healing cutting pad in my kitchen workspace. Lots if brown tones with the round blossom of fuchsia in the lower right corner.

Close up of box top and CD box revealing more grain detail in the wood and a closer look at the photo used for CD1.

After gluing together the cover photos (all mine) and inner playlists, I left them on top of an Elac hi-fi speaker, appropriately, to air before closing them up with the CD payloads within.

It's been awhile since i've had a kiln firing. I fired her up last night, and the kiln gods were (mostly) kind to me!

Here's the finished teapot with doves that I carved on the 4th of July. It pours great!

If you want to see the rest of the pots, i just shared a gallery with everything on my website.

A finger cajon nearing completion, my latest mini-project.

The standard cajon is a fairly large box-shaped instrument originated by African slaves in Peru who were denied traditional drums & resorted to shipping crates to get rhythmic. One sits on top and slaps, taps, etc. – most have snare drum wire mounted within for added sonic brightness & texture.

Handmade from 1/4" pine, bamboo mini-skewers & wood glue.

A magnifying glass, green arc welding goggles, craft knife, scissors, etc., surround a small wooden box / mini-cajon slightly longer and narrower than a tall man's hand adorned with taped-on paper stencil letters for some text to be applied via sunlight. The soundboard has already been done, a somewhat jumbled dual-column tower of letters spelling out the word MONSTER.
