That portrait reminds me of someone else, currently in the news π¬π½
I'm afraid I'm not a fan of Kindle; there's nothing like holding a book and turning the pages. But I am lucky enough to have all the books and I'm about to start reading 'A Snake In The Barley' π

We know it as Goosegrass!
Must be close to her largest one to date? π
Currently keeping an eye on Warwickshire (husband) v Essex (me)!πΆ

Don't know about you, but we still have a freezer full from last year!

Same here! βΊοΈ #apples #appletree
This is just SO wrong π‘ If she's not in it for the money, why not just donate it to a museum?
π₯³Brilliant!
A single Dandelion flower head against a black background.
A Dandelion flower head - definitely not a weed and a vital source of nectar for bees at this time of the year.

Mostly made from material, with the shoes and handbag being cut out from old magazines, and the eye was a tiny black bead. The background is red and green mottled paper
The chick and hat were made from materials, and the shoes were cut out from an old magazine. The eye is a tiny black bead and the collage is placed on green and red marbled paper
This chick was made from materials, apart from the flower which is a sequin, and the eyes which are tiny black beads. It is placed on some yellow and green marbled paper
The final chick was totally made from materials, apart from the eyes which were tiny black beads. The background is green/grey textured paper
HAPPY EASTER!
Here are four mixed media cards I made some time ago. Each card is just 3Β½" by 4Β½", so some of the pieces were VERY small! More information in ALT. #handmade #myowndesign #mixedmedia #greetingscards #Easter

My battered old copy from 1967!
NASA's Blue Marble picture of Earth, from 1972
It's only worth going back to the Moon if it makes us look properly again at Earth, and appreciate how beautiful, precious and fragile what we have here is. The most famous images from Apollo aren't about the Moon - they're pictures of Earth. We need to stop taking our home for granted.
Nine butterfly shapes arranged in three rows of three on a red card, with Springlike place names. From the top left, March, Chicklade, Primrosehill, Maypole Green, Springfield, Lambs Green, Easter, Bunny and Eggesford
As it's supposed to be Spring, even though it's chilly and is blowing a hoolie outside, here's a card I made with Spring/Easter place names. A butterfly-shaped paper punch was used to cut shapes from an old atlas #handmade #myowndesign #greetingscard #papercollage #savedfromlandfill #Spring #Easter
Such a tiny waist!
Wordsworth so true today:
I heard a thousand blended notes
While in a grove I sat reclined
In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts
Bring sad thoughts to the mind
To her fair works did Nature link
The human soul that through me ran
And much it grieved my heart to think
What man has made of man
Photo of the sky showing pastel shades of blue, grey, pink and yellow
The same sky a few moments later, showing dark brown, red and orange colours in the clouds
Stunning sky tonight, from pastel to fiery in the space of a couple of minutes. Photos taken by me from an upstairs window #sunset #sky

That's a stunning sky!
Beautiful - looks as if it's been made from red velvet!
One of the drystone clochans on Skellig Michael, it is a dome shaped structure with a doorway facing the photographer
"integrate AI into your workflow..."
buddy, given half a chance I'd be scratching on vellum with oak gall ink in a nice dark clochΓ‘n on Skellig Michael.
I have no interest in generative AI at all, I wish they would stop trying to crowbar it into *everything*.
Sometimes the effort is the point.
