start

A doodle I started on my partner's laptop, he emailed it to me to preserve it as he was about to reset the laptop to give it to someone else to start its new life.

Thoughts on top of a mounain

I really enjoy the tactile nature of stitching into handmade paper. I am also a hoarder of field pottery and ceramics. So what better than combining two of my favourite loves by transferring the details of one onto the other?! 🩵

This month's theme immediately made me think of video games, and the nostalgia associated with games I used to play. Fortunately, I have a little pocket operator 'arcade' synth, which has built in sounds that are reminiscent of vintage video games. I made the whole piece on this fun little synth sent to a reverb.

Maybe it should see the light of the day as well

This is a song I wrote with my friends in a new band I started recently! It wasn't originally in French, but it got stuck enough in my head that I wanted to make more of it, and rather than write more verses without my friends I thought it would be more fun to just recapture what we did write in a different language. My friend Achille came by last weekend to film some social video with me and we had a bit of extra time at the end, so I decided to show it off!

We start-ed the year with collage, in our community craft group. https://linktr.ee/bishopbusyhands

The sun's rays hit you, as you're bopping to your fave tunes. Life is good.

A really big painting I started this year. Definitely far from finished

As it’s the start of a new year, I decided to try something completely new, something I’ve never done before, which is pottery! I thought for once I’d like to try and create something physical and tactile, something I can hold in my hand. After a month, I learnt that pottery is something you can’t really understand just learning by looking or thinking your way through , but something you have to feel through your hands. The moisture of the clay and how much pressure you exert into the clay, you can only feel it. Rather than going over and over in my about how it would turn out, I’m guessing the start of learning something new is not worrying about doing perfectly. So far I have successfully threw the mug and this bowl together, they have been coated with glaze, and as I am typing this out, they are on their way to the kiln to get fired up!
