Long tailed tits are expert nest builders, weaving moss and lichen with spiders webs and padding the insides with thousands of feathers. Sounds very cosy. Acrylic on 15cmsq canvas.

A little #workinprogress for you today. I thought I would show you the difference between the two eyes. One of them has come to life. Can you see it?

Good afternoon and happy Friday. This weeks free download has been created from a photo I took of a gorgeous piece of wood that had been cut recently. I love the texture and thought you might too. Enjoy! (Link in comments) #downlandcrafters #craftbizparty

We have no power in DC Land today due to scheduled ESB maintenance so if we don’t answer your call or email you know why. In the meantime it’s feet up for a quick coffee then I’m getting the beads out. #downlandcrafters #craftbizparty
