Crazy Cobwebs

Early this week we had a very frosty morning which allowed some amazing cobwebs to be on display.

Exciting Exhibitions

On Monday I visited the Biscuit Factory. An amazing gallery with some outstanding art. All very inspirational.

I loved this plaster sculpture of a lion. So realistic in it's movement. I might have a go at trying to make something similar. I have created a bird using a wire base which I hope to complete next week.

Winter Approaches

Winter is on its way. The nights are drawing in and we now have to walk the dog just after 4pm.
