Westcountryman. I paint and draw, grow things, build musical instruments and bread ovens, and like to party in fields and spend as much time in my campervan as possible.

Today’s bread.
Made them a wee bit larger (900g instead of 800g) and I think they’ve worked better.

I'm of the radical belief that artists should genuinely be kind to each other. Other artists aren't your competition, we don't need rat race mentality bleeding into the art space. We've went through A LOT over the past couple of years already so please treat one another with love and compassion 🫶

I don’t do social work any more - that broke me; and I’ve retired from carpentry because it’s hard work.
I’m rubbish at all ball sports. 🤣

I’ve fallen down similar rabbit holes with celtic knotwork. There’s a chap called George E. Bain who wrote about it but it’s very complicated stuff including factors and prime numbers. In the end you just work it out on squared paper.

BBC’s Riot Women. Fucking hell it’s good.
I’m two episodes in so no spoilers please.

An illustration of mother Goethel, the witch from Rapunzel. She stands in the center, surrounded by thorny bushes and between two crooked trees, holding a baby wrapped in luminous white cloth and her eyes glowing a malicious golden color. In the foreground we see rampions growing from golden vines which intertwine like braids; in the background, in the distance and in the middle of a forest, we see a lone tower

a red squirrel knight, with body armor and a cape, holding a lance in one hand and standing on its hind legs, with a golden halo aroung its upper torso and head.

the beast (from beauty and the beast), appearing in the middle of a dense rose-bush foliage, gently holding a tiny bird in its huge paws and looking at it with tenderness. the castle tower can be seen in the distance.

toe-thrasher, a rat lord wearing a royal mantle made of white fur, thrashing in the middle of a swamp in its hind legs and holding a black flail. in the swamp, there are numerous yellow eyes

But you’d have been so disappointed if your NHS trust didn’t do it.
It’s really not much fun. You have to leave your dignity at the door & you’re there for hours cleaning the saline gloop off, but compared to smear tests I reckon us fellas get off lightly.
Interesting though - was told I had twins.

I like the fact you kept your hat on

Fun fact - if you get your bollocks ultrasounded (is that a word?) they throw in a free kidney ultrasound as part of the deal. All four organs in tip top condition I was pleased to find out. I wasn’t told that I had lovely nads though.

Witchy news tomorrow. So wonderfully witchy that Jean-François Portaels' witch might crawl out of her lovely dark cave. Hihi. 🧹🖤

Art by Jean-François Portaels. Painting of a witch with long black hair, wearing a red dress in what seems like a cave. She looks curious. Black cat sitting beside her.

I like that story about the male archaeologists thinking that knives kept in rafters was for "ritual" purposes until the women pointed out is was to stop the kids hurting themselves.
