Thanks Rob

White to pale purple flower with six petals. Which I have sadly forgotten the name of. Growing in a messy overgrown plant pot against a red brick wall.

Here's something I worked on today. People talk about how making daily wear silver jewellery is a waste of time because it doesn't last. This piece was made by my great uncle Walt just over 60 years ago as a wedding gift for my father. He wore it every single day until he died in January at age 98.

A pair of Tesseract Earrings in my hand.

Four years ago today, I completed the initial Tesseract Earring design.

Love the piece (and its larger sibling), but oh lord are they a beast to polish.

If you like a more serious and grown up Easter bunny, then this might be the card for you! tabithamacbethart.etsy.com/listing/4377... & folksy.com/find/item/85...

Thank you Melanie #UkGiftAm #shopindie

Handmade art always feels like such a meaningful gift 🎨 Something unique that lasts far longer than flowers, and these pieces have so much colour and personality. #UKGiftHour #UKGiftAM #ShopIndie

Today's #BirdoftheDay theme is #StandinginWater and I have another swan today (I photograph lot of them) I took this in a flooded car park in Callander, Scotland. This guy didn't seem bothered that he was in a car park.

A bird with a distinct black and white plumage stands among wetland grasses. It has a rounded body, a short tail, and a prominent tuft on its head, against a backdrop of shallow water.

Two geese standing in calm water. One is spreading its wings, while the other stands nearby. The background is serene with reflections visible on the water's surface.

A heron stands in shallow water near the edge of a stream , with its reflection visible in the water. It is surrounded by moss-covered branches and muted earth tones from the surrounding environment.

A black bird stands on a log near water, peering into the reflection. The surface reflects both the bird and the surrounding nature, creating a tranquil scene.

@robcrank68.bsky.social announced today's #BirdOfTheDay theme. It‘s #StandingInWater, any bird standing in water, the Alt Them is #Green, any bird/photo with Green included.

Here are a Lapwing, 2 Greaylag Gooses, a Heron and a Black Coot

Good morning all.
I have a wide variety of hand made and hand painted gifts in my online store. This Mother's day why not give gift of some art or a unique trinket dish, they last much longer than flowers.

An original abstract artwork of a wren perched on a stump, surrounded by wildflowers. Created on mulberry paper using acrylic paints.

I hadn't painted on mulberry paper for a while. And now I know why 😏. It's not the most accommodating of surfaces to paint on, but here we have a wren, perched on a stumpy thing, surrounded by wildflowers... Take care and have a good day.

Time to go. What a blissful afternoon
#swans #sunshine

I made it to the Loch. It took me around 50 mins at a medium pace and now I'm reaping the rewards. The Sun is warm and its so peaceful and safe for a lone female. Currently sitting watching 6 cormorants basking in the Sun, wings out.

Good god, that's quite a typo #colourfulcapture

Right, I'm heading out for a walk soon. Lunch first, some houmous and spelt flatbread, then I have decided to go to the Loch, where there has been a Smew spotted, a rare sighting for Scotland. Photo by Ron MacDonald, other photo, my lunch.

Its gorgeous outside, bit nippy but I will wrap up
