Most of these images are scans of my ephemera, which I collect. Some of the older piccies are photographs, weird digital creations, or downloads from the web. If you've any requests, don't be shy! Thank you Tom, to whom I owe, still, a particular drawing.

Smart Knitting Needlecraft - Ephemera 3 deux
Second scanning session from the knitting book/magazine. Thank you to 'Paul Martin's Handmade Revolution' for reminding and inspiring me! Mr Martin's lovable wackiness, massively apparent joie de vivre, and I must admit, cuteness, first got me hooked on his presentation in 'Britain's Hidden Heritage'. The addition of Mary Jane Baxter, milliner extraordinaire and all round lovely-seeming girl (the other two hosts are good as well), make this programme a hoot and a half. So very much crafting--top drawer! (Even if it is excruciatingly obvious that some 'fine art expert' is making the actual decision as to who wins the prize, and not the host-'judges'. It's the inspiration and lovely junk people make that count for me.)
Cygnoir, once again, pour vous:
