I found this beautifully comforting whilst navigating the journey of loosing my mum. I’m just leaving it for anyone else to find, or pass on to someone who may need a little comfort. #grief

Here’s a snippet of #plantlore for today! The beautiful but poisonous hellebore so deadly it was thought to drive evil spirits out of dwellings. Mentioned in medieval grimoires, it was also seen as a tool to enter the underworld. Different colours possess different magical powers and uses. #Folklore

The massive capstone of Tinkinswood supported by orthostats. It's set in a grassy, uneven field with several pylons in the distance. The sky is grey, the pic was taken in early April so the distant trees are still leafless.

I love fox and cubs... we now only cut our front lawn once a year... because we discovered during lockdown that it becomes a meadow full of fox and cubs in June...

Here’s a snippet of #Plantlore for today! Fox and cubs originated from the Carpathians. Now a ubiquitous wildflower in the uk, It had numerous uses in folk medicine. Teas and balms to aid sleep and cure coughs and colds. It is sometime known as the devil’s paintbrush due to its vibrancy. #Folklore

My newest creation is a little crow bag. I designed and sewed her. Some people say that only marsupials should have pouches to carry around babies but she doesn't care what people think. She enjoys smelling flowers and dropping acorns on jerks.

Here's a photo of a fabric art crow bag. She's a cute gumdrop-shaped crow with big yellow eyes and a gray beak. She has a black pouch on her belly with three lovely orange flowers embroidered on it. Beside her are two tiny fabric art baby crows. They also have yellow eyes and gray beaks. One baby has little wings and one has none.

This is another pic of the bird bag. This time the babies are peeking out of the pouch.

This is an image of the lining of the bag. It's a white cotton fabric with black skeletons printed on it. We see a frog skeleton, a fish skeleton, and a lizard skeleton.

#WyrdWednesday The enigmatic chalk figurines of Iron Age Yorkshire, 600-AD410. The communities that lived in this region endured turbulent times as well as climate change. These warrior figurines may represent the Parisi tribe of East Yorkshire. They were carved wearing swords, hoods and belts.

A chalk figurine. A warrior wears a belt and hood on their head. The figure is male as the penis is represented. The back of the figure has a carved sword.

A chalk figurine. An anthropologic figure it is very weathered but the eyes can still be seen. A belt is etched in the body.

A small chalk figurine, very weathered but it is distinctly anthropomorphic.
