More duck stuff


Here she is, and here her eggs, and as fierce an eye as I've ever seen...

Cycled past a small pond this evening and was amazed by the number and energy of the ducklings. All brown except one yellow one, and a sideways avalanche of feet and cheeping and water...

Ah, spring is here...

Catching up and settling down...


...to some work at last.. Not going to show them here yet, as they are for my next exhibition, but I am mightily relieved to have broken the back of the Creativity Monster...

Meanwhile:- a duck has nested in the next-yard but one - she has made a perfect nest from old string and feathers and is happily sitting on 6 beautiful blue eggs. You can just see the string in the picture. And the spring light is illuminating my carpets really nicely..

Rubber Postcards


If I had been asked if this was a good idea, I suspect I would have laughed..
Postcards class on Saturday was much enjoyed by all. Cards by Tina, using bicycle tyre, inner tube rubber, oddments of chain, and spoke nipples. Now that's going to do funny things for the hit rate...
