Gilding away in my studio. A lovely plaque for @holywellglass in celebration of their new premises. I find gilding so relaxing (when the climate is right, it is not relaxing in a storm!). Stick on an audio book and zone out. Bliss.

Since the picture in the paper I’ve had a lot of questions about making chess boards like this one that I made for the 150th anniversary of Alice in Wonderland. On of my favourite books. I’ve never played chess myself, I think perhaps my mind wonders too easily... .

I’ve been notified that Tweedle Dee was in the Daily Telegraph yesterday! Who woulda thought. Introduced as “The woodcarver who was commissioned by the pope” haha, called me personally, on a Sunday. Outrageous! 😉 .

I wondered into @thewoodworksproject_bath whilst avoiding the camping shop where my husband was next door. I have never been into shopping, it’s become a sort of family joke how I always come back empty handed. Plus I rarely have money to spend, yet somehow when I saw this v…

I grew pumpkins once when I was a kid and I remember them taking over the garden. As I grew up I figured that it was probably a warped perception from being so small myself, like going back to primary school and realising how much smaller everything looks from how you remem…
