Just thought I’d share some small woven tapestries I’ve been working on… the first 2 are inspired by the Ross of Mull and the second 2 by Namibia. #woventapestry #tapestryweaving #respondingtothelandscape

One more day & my book can be found in bookstores in the UK. If you can't wait, you can read a big part of the first chapter here: www.theguardian.com/environment/... you miss out though why I chose to talk about the colonial-fossil narrative, instead of say the neo-liberal-patriarchial.

I finished these wee cushions! And they came joint 3rd in our wool group competition. Not my finest work but they met the brief of using all the fibre with a garden theme. Delighted that each one went home with someone!

Bluesky/Twitter-wise, it is extraordinary that a British, ahem, media figure couldn’t post simple condemnations of people comfortable with an adjudicated rapist, coup inciter & serial felon becoming Potus without drowning under sustained & vicious attack. I think that place boiled *all* our brains.

This is a key constituent of fascism & the very essence of ‘Muskism’: promoting bullshit, silencing truth-tellers & calling the whole grift ‘free speech’. Twitter as a rehearsal for the USA.

There’s a scheme in the Derby hospitals that puts art on the walls. I was featured a few years ago and got some lovely compliments.
