Richard Dadd review – can his mental illness help explain these arresting, bizarre images?
Dadd was already a remarkable artist – with fairies as his hit theme – before he was locked up for murder. Yet it was within the confines of Bedlam that he saw nature and art afresh

A Simple Winter Solstice Ritual: A 🧵. If you do nothing else to mark the longest night, the Solstice Eve, do this. Be still for five minutes of the night and start with one small candle. Let the light grow from there. Blessed days, holy nights.

Thread of unique Holiday music. Awake Arise: A Winter Album. By Lady Maisery, Jimmy Aldridge, and Sid Goldsmith. It's a marvelous collection of traditional English Folk music for the season, spoken word, and original. Truly a journey through winter to be listened to in it's completeness.

The totally stunning (if a little top-heavy 😂) 12th century doorway into the Church of St. Leonard, Southoe, Cambridgeshire. Imagine it with a bit of polychromy, too! 🤩

Reading "The Wild Places" by @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social and using my drawing of a Green Man as a bookmark. It's a testament to both our connections and losses of wildness.

“November comes And November goes, With the last red berries And the first white snows. With night coming early, And dawn coming late, And ice in the bucket And frost by the gate. The fires burn And the kettles sing, And earth sinks to rest Until next spring.” ~ Elizabeth Coatsworth

"The leaves fall, the wind blows, and the farm country slowly changes from the summer cottons into its winter wools." - Henry Beston (Northern Farm) The wind has been blowing here on Dartmoor and we're definitely in our winter wools now. Lottie and I wish you a good weekend.

Last Christmas Ich gave thee my hearte But the verye next daye Ther came a wolf, Wyth sinews of whispers, quiet as frost And the wolf stole my hearte, Fled to a tower out of tyme Biyonde all the stars. Seek now my hearte, Return it within a yeare and a daye: Thys ys thy queste!

As I seem to be picking up followers who don't already know our work,here goes. My wife and I are primarily sculpted leather mask makers creating wearable works inspired by myth and fantasy. Pictured is a Mother Earth piece that sold at the Maryland Renaissance Festival.
