Here's a black cat in a witch's hat which I painted for Samhain/ Halloween. 🐈‍⬛🖤✨️

Did you know Johnny Appleseed was based on a real person and he had a very specific reason for planting all those orchards? #folksky #folkloresky #folklore

It would be so great if you could RT my Etsy shop in the twoots below/above. My🌲 jewellery orders usually make up a significant part of my income at this time of yr but the X exodus has meant I’ve only received 1 order-pretty scary income-wise. A small boost would help so much. Thankyou🌿

Good Morning everyone, wishing you all a very good and peaceful Saturday, whatever you’re doing. We’re on a little hiatus at the moment until we dance on Sat Dec 14th in the Darwin Centre….by the Amazon parcel section. Victoria won‘t be there though. 😊#BeckhamMorris

German painter Heinrich Gogarten (1850-1911), an expert in capturing winter's mood, was renowned for evoking its eerie stillness through light.
As the nights grow longer, the setting sun burns red, and a supernatural chill fills the air...

'When the last colours of the day
Have from their burning ebbed away,
About that ruin, cold and lone,
The cricket shrills from stone to stone;
And scattering o'er its darkened green,
Bands of fairies may be seen.'

After the kind praise from @ryanshirlow.bsky.social yesterday here is our reworking of 'Over The Hills and Far Away'. We wanted to rethink the Georgian jingoistic jolly soldier-boy stance of the original and give the perspective of a WW1 widow.
