COLLAGE FRAGMENTS, RECYCLED PAPERS, AND A QUIETLY PERFECT CHRISTMAS DAY A few days prior to Christmas and a couple of days subsequently, I have found time to be in the studio. Much of the time was spent organising things and trying to tidy up a bit (an ongoing struggle!) but I have did…
ALTERED BOOK: "THE JOURNEY" - PAGE 4: SOUTHERN SPAIN AND MOROCCO Interesting factoid: while editing and naming my photos for this book page, I vacillated between two spellings - is it Marocco, or Morocco? I finally settled on Marocco, but before writing this post, I thought I'd better check. Ooops. I was right…
RHASSOUL CLAY HAIR WASH I'm afraid I didn't manage to take any photos this morning as I didn't have very much time to do my first clay hair wash, once I'd finished other things like the laundry. As it was, we ended up having a rather late lunch! Late night preparations for the…
NO-POO HAIR PREP Preparing for my first no-poo wash No-poo means "no shampoo" - it doesn't mean something else!! Decanting the scalp oil After making up my scalp oil yesterday according to Curly Proverbz' recipe, I put it in the airing cupboard because I knew that in this cold weather, it could set…
GOOD HAIR DAYS - THE CONTINUING SAGA Good old Ebay... All the supplies I ordered for my new hair regimen have now arrived, with the exception of the scalp massager, which should arrive any day; unfortunately it has not arrived in time to use it during my first alternative wash on Monday. Goodness…
BAD TO GOOD HAIR DAYS, EXPERIMENTAL ARCHAEOLOGY, AND SLEEP CAPS YouTube feeds can be useful! A week ago, a video came up in my YouTube feed about how to grow long and healthy hair. I was intrigued, because I already have long hair (to hip length) and am hoping to grow it longer.…
MORE BEADS - PAPER AND TYVEK, AND SUCCESS WITH PACKAGING PAPER At last I have finished this week's batch of cooking and other domestic tasks, and have been able to spend some time in the studio. Packaging paper One task I had to deal with this week was the delivery of a large…
NEW STASH, A BIT ABOUT FOOD, AND MY PANTRY REVISITED New stash from Ebay After thinking that plastic lace table mats were well-nigh impossible to get in the UK, I have suddenly found them in abundance on Ebay! Perhaps I had been putting in the wrong search parameters... After my extremely successful coffee-staining…
A BEAUTIFUL SURPRISE GIFT I had a parcel from Amazon the other day, and I couldn't remember ordering anything! It came in quite a large box (which has now been commandeered by the kitties): and when I opened it, this is what met my eyes. There was a note from my lovely friend…
MORE PAPER EMBELLISHMENTS, AND COLD WEATHER KITTIES I've been having fun with paper, mostly in the comfort of the sitting room on the recliner. The weather is quite cold now and we are trying to conserve the heating, and it's easier to heat just the one room. I do want to spend some…
