At lunchtime I’m off to pick up my Angela Lewin linocut that I’ve had reframed. I bought the print at a travelling prints show a few years ago and framed it poorly. Now it’s getting the respect it deserves. Can’t wait to see!

A Day day
Thanks to whoever it was who recommended Robin and Lucienne Day: Pioneers of Modern Design on their blog. Last week, my copy arrived in the post at last (Read about the Days’ work here.). What an inspiration! My early year torpor has dropped away and I am impatient to get cracking on making things again! …

They shoot horses. Don’t they?
The horse cushion’s back from the magazine, but it didn’t get shot. No kill fee either… Righto, putting silly puns and wounded pride aside now, here’s the completed cushion, exclusively for readers of Skinny laMinx, in the home of moi and mon homme.

Cork magnets
More cork magnets. I tried one using maple wood veneer yesterday, but it was really hard to cut through and the lines ended up looking clumsy. It’s great having a bit of time on my hands, for a change. I feel that for ages I’ve been recycling old ideas, squeezing the last drops out of …

Magnetic weekend
I made a couple of magnets this weekend. The cute little girl magnet holding up my yoga schedule is not mine but isn’t she just adorable? Found at Journey on Long Street. This one I’m in love with. I stuck cork paper (thanks, Jesse) to an adhesive-backed magnetic sheet and cut through with my NT …
