Garden veg

July is here and the garden is offering up the rewards of one's labours.  It all makes for delicious eating :-)

Freshly shelled broad beans in a hand-made coil pot, how very middle-class!  I think they look nice and moody in B&W...

This broccoli, or calabrese, grew as a 'weed', it must have self seeded from last years crop, probably spending the winter in the compost heap.

 

Early Nantes carrots and spring onions.

This pretty parcel is 'Bright Lights' chard.  I love the candy-cane quality of the stems.  Tasty too!

These red chilis and the squashkin are actually last years harvest.  I forgot to upload their pics, so here they are in all their glory...

Sculpture update

Many moons have passed and I've made some progress with the life-study sculpture that I roughed out in the class.  Here she is now, standing, or rather sitting, 14cm tall...

Ceramics

At last, a new post!  I've returned to the pottery studio down the road and made a few oddments.  Mostly experimental stuff to get into the swing of things again :-)
