Laurieston Kite Feeding Station.

What a superb day - first a visit to the McGill Duncan Gallery in Castle Douglas and then kite feeding at Laurieston. Photography wasn't easy as it was a dreich day ...a return visit beckons!

Trail Camera badgers (Part 2)

We continue to enjoy collecting images from the Bushnell camera trap ...and creating compilation photographs.

Carrion crow; woodpigeon; rabbit; magpie and grey squirrel.

Badger compilation - 3 different visits though.

Rabbits! (Compilation)

Playing with monoprinting - Ardnave Point, Islay.

...collaging papers from failed prints. Based on Ardnave Point - Islay.

Spring Squill - felt balls.

Two more 'botanical balls'. Made with a polystyrene inner, then felted in the washing machine and then needle felted. The beads were a pain to sew on, but the best bit will be taking them to Cornwall, finding a dramatic backdrop on the coast and then photographing them in situ.  Hopefully on a windless, sunny day!
