The Nook is where we be these days, come have a wander. Friday, June 24, 2011. Tuesday, June 14, 2011. Monday, June 6, 2011. Having the bike maketh the rider not. So folks now I have the dreamed of bike that runs smooth, now the riding skills need to be developed to match. The fear is only to be overcome by practice and practice. Its confronting at times, but oh the freedom! My skill level and confidence will rise. Next lesson for now is to stand my ground on the faster travelling roads when theres a...

The Nook is where we be these days, come have a wander. Friday, December 31, 2010. Acknowledging and farewelling 2010. Tuesday, December 21, 2010. Monday, December 20, 2010. Listening to the plants.terms to translate. As the last post was about urban wildcrafting and finding, I thought Id take it a step furthur to talk about working with plants, for food and health. What beauty if in every home we had the wisdom to be our own herbalists? But how do we know which ones to use and how much? Nourishing herbs...

The Nook is where we be these days, come have a wander. Tuesday, January 29, 2013. Been a while since I typed, busy, busy. My dads been having a rough time health wise, so if you have some extra good vibes, or healing energy, feel free to send some his way. I head down to Sydney on Friday to see him and just be around. The above image is from one of said sketchbooks, and was inspired by a music video I watched, that really struck a chord. It was a roasting hot north coast day, and the idea of taking ...

The Nook is where we be these days, come have a wander. Monday, February 28, 2011. That post I just couldnt write. So whats a girl to do? If I could just get it together. But the tighter I try to control, the more I bust, the harder I wish myself to sleep the more my brain thinks its reeaaly important to worry about that thing I said to someone who doesnt know me from a bar of soap or that house I didnt get thats had someone else living there for 6 months. Am I back in the loop? Sunday, February 13, 2011.

The Nook is where we be these days, come have a wander. Wednesday, September 29, 2010. Ive been designated for a scratchers lot since granma died. Some upwardly mobile family will move into the old place.edging closer to the Centre. It means a move to bordertown for moi, less protection. Closer to the walls edges. They must have a few friends on the inside, willing to risk communications. Driven by something other than the plan, and moving up into the ranks of the Core. So the letter came yesterday, the ...

The Nook is where we be these days, come have a wander. Friday, November 9, 2012. No time like the present. Ive managed to properly fuck up my right hand, hence typing this very slowly and in an uncoordinated manner. Im completely right handed, doing anything with my left hand is dodgey and slow. So im in a place where I can't draw, write, practice my tai chi, cook a meal or open a jar of pickles *sigh*, nearly driving me mental! Sorry to get heavy, but i just wish to mention, that if you love someones e...

The Nook is where we be these days, come have a wander. Thursday, September 29, 2011. Gargoyles are traditionally functionality merged with imagination. When we see them on church rofftops they generally have a hollow inside that channels water away from the mortar of the stonework hence preventing its erosion over time. Usually the water comes out of the creatures mouth but I did see one gargoyle who was mooning the world and the water came out his arse. Wednesday, September 21, 2011. The word amphibian...

The Nook is where we be these days, come have a wander. Monday, December 3, 2012. Back in the creative ring. After a period of creative frustration, my right hand seems healed back to its old self. I tested it out over the last few days with some intensive making, and said limb came up trumps. I'm back in the ring! The head, especially facial features, is probably the most time consuming single part. I make it, then hands and feet out of Super Sculpey oven baked clay. Strengthened with lengths of...Its a...
