Art from trash
Two years ago I was lucky enough to go with Kramstable’s class on an excursion to, among other things, the Art from Trash Exhibition. It’s an annual event run by the Resource Work Cooperative at the Long Gallery in the Salamanca Arts Centre, which “encourages the reuse of discarded materials...
Book 19/24: Big Magic
This was a book I’d heard of, seen around, glanced through occasionally in the bookshop, not read for an online book club that I’m not really in, heard other people’s opinions of (well one other person), and finally decided to borrow from the library. I finished it in four...

P365 – Day 317 – fruits of our labour (Sunday Selections)
Since it’s Sunday and I took a lot of photos today, I thought I would join in Kim’s Sunday Selections at Frogpondsrock this week. I never seem to be able to get my act into gear to hook out some old unseen photos for Kim, so new ones will...
P365 – Day 299 – wreck this journal
Earlier this year I bought a book called Wreck This Journal by Keri Smith. The subtitle of the book is ‘To Create Is To Destroy’. Bascially it is, as the name suggests, a book that you are supposed to wreck. Each page has an instruction for something you’re supposed...
