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! 😊

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.

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.
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.

Playlists for each of the four CDs here:
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.
