And after a bit, things, characters even, start to appear in it, and out of it.

Happy Woodwork Wednesday!
Simulacra all over.

Hi Lucy,
ReplyDeleteCatching up on your blog has been very enjoyable: a feast of wonderful photographs, which are revelatory. I love the wood work ones.
Joyce was mesmerised by your post on the straw earrings.
Thinking up a Christmas blog post is a good challange and I hope to rise to it soon. In the mean time A Happy Christmas to you and your family.
