Never heard this song before today. So beautiful ❤️ m.youtube.com/watch?v=vy_E...

art inspires and to inspire is no small thing... it's quite literally to take a breath to help another breathe

Hmm. Started the rose beads last night just to try out the petals and get a feel for the rose clay - you always need to figure out how much to grind them, how much water, how high to heat etc for each batch. I have a lot to make (am making 8 necklaces for 8 lovely story women), so figured in the end

One of the Binham Bracteates - a decorated gold disk worn as a pendant which was discovered as part of hoard in 2004 at Binham in Norfolk. Dating to 475–525, the pendant is part of the collections at Norwich Castle. 📸 My own. #FindsFriday #NorwichCastle

Yessss…been waiting for these. I have a project which may or may not involve making approx 117 rose beads. 🌹 highly doubtful I’ll be baking this weekend, this one is gonna be all about the roses. And audio. Got this kindle book on the go & really enjoying it..may have to get the audio version💙📚

Tree by the train. Really enjoy coming into Cardiff here and there like this, it reminds me of the very happy year I spent at JOMEC doing an MA. genuinely changed so much for me and I remain forever grateful to the excellent professionals there who are incredible at their jobs. Also a good reminder

this day’s wonder

The Norse goddess,Frigg, is believed to know the fate of all things, but is secretive about it. Herons are sacred to her, and their quiet, solitary nature in the water serves as a symbolic parallel to her reserved, silent knowledge. Art my own. #Folklore #NorseMythology #Heron #Birds

Actually feel like something tried to beat me up in my sleep, woke up with a fucked up knee, stomach cramps & solar plexus feeling like it was punched and now a nosebleed. Luckily I’m in a fab mood so more curious than anything else, but fuck man was trying to be a lover not a fighter right now! 🥴

For a chilly 🥶 #HillfortsWednesday I thought everyone could warm their toes on this Iron Age fire, crackling & smoking inside the Bryn Eryr roundhouse at St Fagans Museum yesterday 🥰🔥 Despite having only one fire this double roundhouse was warm & cosy, a pretty good place to live! 🎥 My own

What are you made of? 1. tea & tenderness 2. books & baked goods 3. cheese & confusion 4. moss & chaos

Yikes was not entirely expecting to start the day with a conversation that involved the line ‘yep spiritual fuckboys desperately trying to justify their ongoing unresolved madonna-whore complex’ but here we are. That was ..invigorating 😁😁

Oh, @zackpolanski.bsky.social is SO good.

Haha yea. As I said on this.. I named my final MA dissertation ‘the draft to rule them all’. It was ‘final, no really, final’ version about fifteen I think 😁

Some cake making I’ve been up to lately. This one is one I made for Samhain, a carrot cake with edible moss, roses, cauldron & figure made out of fondant. Never made anything like this before & it took HOURS over 2 days. I had a blister when I was finished on my foot! Loved every second 😍 #baking 🍽️

One more from sunrise. Mt. Hood in the distance. Wishing you a peaceful weekend. ☀️🧡🩷

Well, it finally happened…first time ever listening to The Emerald when I did not react well to a good deal of the episode. At all. probably not for some of the reasons others might feel challenged, but it was there. But then some days went by, and not a little crying & a whole ton of realisations

Oooooo 👀

People who dismiss e-books or audiobooks as being somehow less worthy or less meaningful than physical books are missing the point of books. Books are not ink and paper, just as human beings are not defined by their physicality. Books are connections; emotions; ideas; just like their creators.

Been rereading Ardath by Marie Corelli which features lines from Endymion by Keats at the beginning. One thing led to another and ended up reading aloud all of Endymion last night. Actually really loved it. Now I’m on a Keats/mythology related mission… 🤓 💙📚

Living sculpture. Notice also the pool of water held in the crook of this ancient oak on the shores of Kenmare River (bay).

I love the colours 🥰 Getting into pastry now, second try at these - roast veg and goats cheese

When we cross into a stone circle, we not only journey into the Long Neolithic, we walk into ritual, into a continuing sense of sacred. We mustn't look at it as a completed story. It is ongoing. Our being there only adds a new chapter to it. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday
