Takingaturn: Looking back
http://taking-a-turn-taking-a-turn.blogspot.com/2015/03/looking-back.html
This blog is to record my adventures and discoveries during my on-line felting courses with Artybird Carnforth. Sunday, 15 March 2015. It's hard for me to believe that this is now my 151st blog post. I would never have believe that was possible when I very nervously wrote my first post in September 2011. That first post was about the difficulties in making white felt on a white background , my trial piece to show I could make felt at the start of my first ArtyBird City and Guilds courses. The purpose of ...

This blog is to record my adventures and discoveries during my on-line felting courses with Artybird Carnforth. Wednesday, 31 December 2014. In late December I had the very good fortune to attend a workshop at atelier Fiberfusing given by Lisa Klakulak . This was not a workshop about making a wonderful finished piece but a workshop about techniques to make hollow forms. We learned with lots of maths and felting examples. Sunday, 7 December 2014.

Bizonderimage: Dried Tomatoes
http://bizonderimage.blogspot.com/2013/09/dried-tomatoes.html
Sunday, 8 September 2013. A different topic to normal in this weeks blog. On my Daily journal. I have posted some pictures of some tomatoes I have been drying and a couple of people have asked about the recipe so I decided to post it here. I have used quite big tomatoes as they do shrink in the drying, I guess smaller tomatoes would work just as well and would take less time. In the morning the tomatoes are cool and I gently squeeze them over a bowl to get some of the liquid out of them. (sometimes y...

Bizonderimage: Not Quite Spring
http://bizonderimage.blogspot.com/2013/04/not-quite-spring.html
Monday, 1 April 2013. Its Easter Weekend, the beginning of April, its really cold outside and there are still patches of snow on the ground. I have spent the weekend in the UK lake district walking and photographing in the hills and lakes around Grasmere. Today it was sunny and bright but the other days were rather grey and cloudy, which overall I don't find very inspiring to photograph. I prefer to photograph in 'bad' weather, generally i find this provides the most interesting light and sky.

Bizonderimage: February 2013
http://bizonderimage.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 19 February 2013. A couple of weekends ago I visited the Art Warehouse - part of a week of special art displays in Rotterdam, in layers of (supposed) sophistication starting with Art Rotterdam in the cruise terminal, Raw art and then the Art Warehouse in the old port warehouses. This year I did not visit the main Art Rotterdam exhibition, in recent years I have found this too unusual ( allegedly avant-garde) for my taste. Which was why I was looking at some very high gloss images displayed in th...
