Where I was working today even the floor was beautiful. Hand made antique small woollen rugs. #rugs #kilims #handmade #lookdown

Working all day, and currently sitting on a train reading about the wildfires in California and the huge human and environmental toll. When will all country leaders fight climate change by making massive changes? I’ll be at @extinctionrebellion tomorrow. It’s not about politics. My local trees, plants and swans can’t attend, so I will. #extinctionrebellion #nature #inkdrawing #risingup #oakgallink

Rosehips = snack nibbles. Best on a sunny day. 10m from my door. Got back into these this autumn. #rosehips #foraging #wildfood #paleo

Basket undersides... #basketry #basket #traditionalskills #handmade #texture #ivy #willow

Hoop basket made with the excellent @wyldwoodwillow when at @joescraft a couple of years ago and another one made ar 1am as soon as I got home, to embed the method. I use these all the time in the veggie garden and for putting things out to air ir dry. Hazel and willow, clematis, ivy, spruce... #basketry #basket #bushcraft #traditionalskills

The beauty of Cockfosters...Who knew? We always used to laugh at the name, but having walked past The Cock Tavern, and through the adjoining woodlands, I am no longer taking the micky. If you are up North London way it’s worth going to Monken Hadley Common. #barnet #monkenhadley #monkenhadleycommon #cockfosters #londontrees #urbannature

If only all advertising space was left like this. #cockfosters #empty

Flint knives. Just sorting my stone age gubbins from The Blade course to show an interested youngster. I learned to knap with Anthony Whitlock. Wish I had more time to do it, and get better at pressure-flaking too. These knives are made from English flint, hazel handles, birchtar glue and nettle cordage. I made hand axes too but I gave the best one to a friend last year. I’ll see what they look like now... #stoneage #flints #flintknapping #knives #nettle #naturalcordage

Harris hawk feather whisk, with leather and bead work. Thanks to Willow Lohr for teaching me beading many years ago. That was the mellowest most creative winter weekend imaginable. How to stay well on the inside? Make things with your hands... This was a gift for a very special man. #handmade #feathers #beadwork #gift #harrishawk

Birch leaf barcode. Fallen yellow leaves making stripes on this grey Swedish footpath were very pleasing. #sweden #birchleaves #birch #path #walking
