Chinotto syrup, jam and some paste for cheese which is surprisingly delicious and perfectly peppery.
Thanks to my boy for the syrup recipe which matured in the fridge for 12 weeks. After straining, I couldn’t throw away the beautiful fruit!
The whole job needs patience! @richiefaulks #extendingchinotto #chinottotime #citrus #cleverdick

Foraging for driftwood is beautiful but bitterswee

Foraging for driftwood is beautiful but bittersweet because it is heartbreaking to see all the horrible little bits of plastic and be reminded that so many people just don’t care.
Last picture is a lidded vessel with a weenie bit of beach glass on seashell glaze.

PS: I don’t mean to add music…I’m not sure how it gets there.

Slow grinding of local sea shells and beach sand ( yet to grind …maybe ) and add to my local tea-tree ash for a new glaze.

The short-tailed Shearwater, Puffinus tenuirostris

The short-tailed Shearwater, Puffinus tenuirostris, only breeds in Australia and is probably Australia’s most abundant seabird. It is a circum-Pacific migrant ranging to the Antarctic Circle in the breeding season and to the far North Pacific Ocean in the non-breeding season. In Tasmania approximately 18 million birds breed in 211 colonies covering 1813 hectares containing an estimated 11.5 million burrows. The largest colony is Babel Island in Bass Strait with 2.86 million burrows. The Short-tailed Shearwater commences to breed when aged 4 to 15 years and can live up to 38 years but his one will live longer once she survives the firing!#sculpting #muttonbird #birdmigration #australianseabirds

Reflections from the pond at my late Sumi-e teache

Reflections from the pond at my late Sumi-e teacher’s Japanese garden. Hard to believe it’s almost 10 years ago that I exhibited ’Stillness’ at @antipodesbookshop when it had the downstairs gallery. People still ask me for this theme and it’s still a joy to do.
Gratitude André Sollier(dec )for all that you taught me. #dancingbrush #zenpainting #sumieonpottery #andrésollier #stoneware #sumiemugs
Footnote: apologies for my crap photography. I need @franbainbridgephotography lessons!
