A little magic for your Saturday.

Within the kiln, where flames rise,
Draconis wakes with molten eyes.
Across its skin, raku fire streams,
A creation forged from potter's dreams.

From earth and flame its power is cast
Ancient breath in clay held fast.

Messy seascape in oils: viewed from a beach, waves breaking onto the rocks in the foreground with dark, sheer cliffs either side. An ochre sky, with dark clouds to the left, with an orange sun appearing; patches of blue, white and pale yellow - also reflected off the ocean.

I may have tweaked this a little after a glass of wine 🙄

A woman, facing away, holds up a large teal lace handknit shawl. It’s crescent shaped with a variety of patterns and embellished with beads.

Here’s my most recent fancy special occasion lace for #ShowMeYourKnits - Don’t Panic by Nim Teasdale. 🧶

Love making these, even if they rarely get used!

The bodice section of a late 1890s green wool gown showing how the embellished appliqué decorates the surface, particularly around the wait with floral stems. Flowers decorate the top of the bodice. It has a high collar

An alternative detail of the bodice decoration on the late 1890s mint green wool dress showing the ivory coloured floral appliqués

A side by side view that shows two different angles of the late 1890s green wool dress with long skirt and cutaway hem treatment revealing the underskirt beneath

This is a favourite for a Friday, a minty green wool blend gown by Coguenhem & Cie lavishly embellished with art nouveau florals, tendrils climbing the bodice and blooming across the shoulders. Late #1890s #madparisfr #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

A snowy landscape. You can see a wooden fence and snow covered branches in the foreground, a small blue building and trees in the background, all snow covered. You can see some blue/white sky.

Good Morning!

This is how it looks outside, but inside I am hand pollinating my dwarf lemon tree with a q-tip.

Any others out there growing citrus trees in a pot? If you have any tips or advice, I'd love to hear them.

Close-up of a stained glass window composed of large floral patterns and petal shapes outlined in dark metal leading. The glass pieces are predominantly deep teal and blue, accented by glowing patches of orange, red, and soft pink light shining through from behind. The intersecting black grid bars divide the design into sections, while the textured glass creates a luminous, mosaic-like effect.

Are vultures cute?
Yes, and yes. Yes they are.
Yolo is showing off his newly colored beak, shifting towards orange. His full transition to bright king vulture adult colors will take about five years! 🪶

Okay, tonight's inventory selections.

Today's feature is a gemstone-bead necklace in greens and grays [shown below].

We have a coil bracelet that matches, plus two pairs of silverwork earrings that coordinate beautifully.

'Shangri-La'

When the blizzard leans hard against the windows and the world turns white and wild, I think of hidden valleys, quiet skies and a better world.

If we can’t leave, we can imagine. If we’re snowed in, we travel inward and dream.

Paradise isn’t found. We make it.

Stay warm/safe!

A black and white photo of a small island with trees, surrounded by ice, snow, sea smoke and mist. Some water reflections and ripples can be seen through sea smoke in the foreground. Snow-covered trees on another island in the background, and city hills barely seen through the mist in the distance.

Islands are stunning. This is my favorite one. #Stunday

A beaded leaf that is five pointed. It is done with light green beads around the edge, and then the veins of the leaf are dark green. It is on fabric that is wrapped into a embroidery hoop.

I had to put this on a smaller hoop. My stubby little fingers couldn’t work as efficiently as I wanted to.

How do you think it’s looking so far?
