I am revisiting the nanohope tomorrow - I feel like we need a token or something to mark the cake eating occasion. In other nanohope news it has been adapted to a naphope - as in: we are now taking a naphope in the guest bedroom (mainly as the persistent easterly has driven us out of our room)!

Spiral bound book full of wild ink and paint instructions and recipes by Joumana Medlej

Lovely blue gift wrap

So pleased to have just got a physical copy of this book by @majnouna.com and to have started her 6 week course on Square Kufic Calligraphy

Yay, that works! I reckon we can both manage some nanohopes tomorrow :-)

Maybe you need some ‘nano’ ‘micro’ and ‘mini’ hopes. We take that approach to holidays - we had a nano break today with a cuppa and a piece of cake :-) Not sure what the nano hope version of that is…

That would be nice

Come and say hello if you are Brid way :-)

Printing onto fabric - existence is resistance

Nice to be back in the studio teaching a bit of ‘quick and dirty’ letterpress set up so that E and L could make a fabric protest banner in less than 60 mins (+ a later 10 mins of ironing). Team work :-)

We certainly were :-)

Drowning it all out

This tanker collision is right near us and ongoing. One of them is carrying oil and is reported as being on fire…

Thank you. It is ok once you get the planting mix wet but not too wet! I have double stacked them this time with big seeds in between to see if that is better.

Thank you. It takes a while to get the coir consistency right and then it is ok. I have tried doubling the height with the bigger seeds sandwiched in the middle. They do dry out fast so you have to keep an eye on them.

Grids of soil with nasturtium seeds showing. Name labels are identifying the seeds.

Please add me to the feed. Planting seeds, in my greenhouse, with my soil blocker atm.

In a surprising show of unity all the newspapers in the newsagents had this wrap today

Pink fluffy clouds reflected on the wet beach

Dramatic clouds with some blue sky reflected on the wet beach

Softer clouds, waves and a row of gulls reflected in the beach wetness

Finally the sun came out!

Ha! Yours seems good to me :-)

That sounds excellent and I am going to try something like that in my next email at work :-)

Hello too :-)
