Yesterday was Not the Voids penultimate meeting of 2025, we meet again at 3pm on Sunday the 28th December. We'll have survived a whole year. The candle was lit for everyone we lost to suicide and everything we've lost to deep dark places that feel unlivable.

Emma badger, in my profile pic (now sadly RIP) used to sit, dog like, waiting for her food. She learnt the sound of the door opening and would come and sit outside when she heard it.
Helped with the old OCD cos she'd do this when I checked the door and I didn't want to overfeed her.

Gentle mist in the air and autumn colours. There is so many different textures in this. Love how the evergreens are contrasting so nicely with the yellows.

For today's #ArtAdventCalendar here's my drawing of a Badger. This one took quite some time and I still think his eyes look a bit wonky but he was a lovely subject to draw.
Happy Tuesday everyone! 🕊️

This is incredible!
My wheel-thrown stoneware chess set is finished! #pottery
Each piece was thrown as a blank on the wheel, off the hump, then carved/turned individually.
It’s not currently listed for sale on my website, because it took *so* long I’m not sure anyone would pay what it would be worth selling it for.
