Russian Doll with Moustache

I made a couple of these a while back. One I lost somewhere on the streets of Leeds - if you found it, lucky you - the other I have just listed on etsy! He's really tiny but I like him:

Float/Home

There are more things up here now. There are so many pretty things on etsy it makes me dizzy. It's lucky I have no money because if I did I am sure an unhealthy addication would be beginning right now. At least it would be an aesthetically pleasing addiction.

Today in Leeds it is raining like Manchester and I'm listening to the beautiful music that this man makes:



Peter Broderick, I salute you.

Etsy!

I have finally managed to sort out an Etsy account! Find it here. Currently for sale are the owl brooches, but I will be adding more things in the next few days.

Strange Creatures

I really like the artwork of Jennifer Davis

Big Cartel

Hi all, just thought I'd let you know that I have made myself a Big Cartel page, so if you would like to buy any of my stuff, that's the place to do so! I will be adding more stuff soon, hopefully. Currently up are felt russian dolls and owl brooches. If you would like to have a look, find it here.

Also, I can't stop listening to this album at the moment...

Make Your Own Sun

Another month, less updates from myself, and another Tapes podcast. This month the tunes are provided by Yonderboy, This Town Needs Guns, Ora Cogan, Peasman and Fortywatts. I saw Ora Cogan play in a basement the night she recorded this session and was very impressed indeed. I have also provided a piece of artwork this month, for the lovely Fortywatts, which is rather exciting and a little scary...I shall do my best to focus on the former. Anyhow, here is my humble offering, inspired by the song "Make Your Own Sun":

Trinkets

Apologies for the lack of updates of late, I really have no excuse. I got a new computer two weeks ago, so could have taken full advantage of this fact by bombarding you all with updates, but, alas, I did not. This is probably fortunate for you, as I have not been doing all that much aside from frantically filling in job applications. I am also moving house in another two weeks, so I will no doubt be unable to post again for some time due to living in the midst of chaos for at least a week on either side. Anyhow, this update is primarily to say that I finally managed to complete the blog header! It is at the top of this page, as you have probably already noticed.

Also, there was a new Tapes podcast at the beginning of this month, featuring music from Franz Nicolay (of The Hold Steady), Neil Ward, Tubelord, Cameron Steward and Fran Rogers. Artwork this month includes a photograph by my very own sister alongside some other amazing artists. Check it out here.

Another thing worth checking out is my friend Sophie's etsy shop rememberer. She selling some beautiful old postcards and trinkets, very nice indeed.

Finally, here is a picture of a cuckoo clock in my Granny's house which I thought was rather good:
