Thank God for Chocolate Coins!
Bykaterattray February 28, 2012

You won’t believe the trouble I had trying to find suitable gold foil for the underside of my sun! In the previous post I showed you the transparent smalti laid onto some gold foiled tape. I thought this is the stuff I would use, I have a big reel of it, however it is sticky,…

Flight of the Cranes
Bykaterattray September 10, 2012

The Somerset levels and moors have been such a source of inspiration lately, not only have Egrets arrived for the first time this year (see last post) but last year saw the re-introduction of cranes to the area. Cranes were thought to have become extinct in the UK 400 years ago although they still visited…

Who’s a Pretty Bird Then?
Bykaterattray December 10, 2019October 29, 2022

Hi Kate,
Enjoyed this, main looking good…and don’t they just. One of my students is my dental hygienist, and I often tell her that’s what I should have done!!!

I was asked to remove my lion wips from flickr but have to say your video looks more professional than my snapshots.
