🚨 We’ve conducted a huge poll across the country to see what would happen if a General Election happened right now. Shockingly, the far right Reform UK could be on course to take up to 169 seats in parliament.

❌ Elon Musk is amplifying far-right figures, spreading harmful disinformation, and meddling in UK politics. If we stay silent, he wins. But together, we can push back and demand stronger laws to protect our democracy. Join us and make your voice heard: secure.hopenothate.org.uk/page/163807/...

Foreign billionaires like Elon Musk shouldn’t have the power to shape our democracy. Let’s change the law.

Well it’s been an interesting few days. We lost power during storm Darragh and some people locally are still without power or water. It’s quite awful with lots of trees and power lines down. But this happened at the local Morrisons giving us all a good laugh!

Morrisons sign wind damages so it now reads Morons

Coincidentally, this kind of orchestrated disinformation campaign is exactly the kind of thing our petition is about! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Petition: Create a public consultation on freedom of speech and disinformation

We believe that lies, fraud, and media toxicity threaten our way of life. We think new mechanisms are needed to preserve confidence. How else can people know what to trust?

I have a passion for fantasy makes but I get a real kick out of making realistic large wool sculptures. Just as an example these are my leaping hares. Arianwen, Melangell and Emyr. (AI backdrops but no alteration to my actual work). The first two have sold and Emyr is currently for sale.

Wool sculpted leaping hare jumping over a log which is the mount for the sculpture. I have added turkey tail felted fungi to the log.

This was thick fog when I got up but now the sun has risen above the mountains we are left with dragon’s breath!

Landscape photo of the valley. There are trees in the foreground on left and right in autumnal shades. The middle ground is mist shrouded fields and in the distance there is a band of thick fog with mountains behind. The fog looks like dragons breath. You can see an orange glow of sun reflected in the hazy sky.

Cute fox made for my friend’s studio opening as a gift. Will be doing a couple more to sell on my stall.

Small needle felt fox in a curled position but with his head up, mounted on a piece of driftwood. The background is AI generated and shows a lakeside setting.

Sad news, we will be losing our market space in Aberystwyth on 14th December. There is no more funding for the space via U.K. government. The organisation that supports us has about 1000 small businesses on their books but U.K. government prefers to spend money on forcing medication on obesity. 🤷‍♀️
