My medical problems and their investigation and treatment
Warning: This is a very long post! Click on the links to take you to the relevant posts for more details. Quite an eventful year, one way and another. On the artistic front I have embarked on some new ventures, I've acquired quite a bit of new stash, some lovely books... Several gorgeous…
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.…
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!

A couple of fruitful hours in the studio this afternoon. Well, mostly... Paper Mesh Thinking about my paper mesh experiments recently and how generally unsatisfactory the results were, I thought a bit more about it and decided that the sprayed pieces might work best photographed and used as printables. In their "real" state,…
A quick update with some recent photos which I haven't been able to share for the past few weeks, given that I was too busy posting about my various studio-based activities. Flowers My hubby has outdone himself again this year with bedding plants for our troughs and tubs in the patio, to make…
