No filter or editing. When something is this beautiful, who needs it.

Dropped a tiny bit of apple on the top of the stem, and this little fella is having at it. Apologies for the shaky hands.

First bumbler of the year, and she was a doozy. Nothing for scale, but she's a whopper. Not sure she's going to find much to eat. Handheld zoom, so a bit fuzzy (or is that just her) 🤔

I'm still trying to figure out this flyer that we got through the post from a local estate agent. I normally just throw these in the recycling. This one has me coming back in search of meaning.

Looks like the game's over.

The perils of working in wax, came home to roost. Got the ring to the point of casting, and it snapped whilst pressing it into the sand. As this was to be a gift, and time was running out, I resorted to a simple band, and a first attempt at engraving. Every day's a school day!

Happy place.

Current project. Wax carving a signet ring, to be sand cast in silver. Now the hard bit, how to carve the design into the top! #waxcarving #sandcasting #silversmith

Photo taken with my mobile phone recently on a semi-woodland walk near my house. I love the slightly chaotic, surreal, coldness of it. It's just cropped, no adjustments.

Chilly, but lovely, oop North in Preston.

I've recently been trying out sand casting, and made this (very imperfect) signet ring. It's so satisfying melting the silver. Really brings out the pyro, erm child in me. #silversmithing #ring
