I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

This week's pots from my pottery course - ten, including one bowl made from double the clay weight. Next week we're on to trimming.

So, long time no post. I've been off work with autistic burnout and limiting social media use. I started watercolour painting as a form of therapy about 5 months ago. This was one of the first painting I was happy with.

Another way I cheer myself up when the weather is not great is by spinning up bright and colourful art yarn, like this rainbow gradient spiral 😀

Fed up with winter now, but signs of spring are here. The first small clump of frog spawn has appeared in the pond overnight and I got some lovely colourful pansies and primroses at the garden centre 🙂

The government has announced it will pay for more weapons and bombs by cutting support for the world's poorest people.
A deplorable decision that will only create a more unstable and unequal world.

Been spinning new yarns to replace yarn I've sold. This is a corespun wool, silk & linen blend rainbow gradient with organza ribbon loops, wrapped with silk yarn. Time-consuming, but highly enjoyable to do 😀
