I have such a deep love for marbled paper that I taught myself how to do it…on the cheap! Ordinary paper. Ordinary marbling paints and a cat litter tray (brand new!!) One day I WILL learn how to do it properly :o) I’ve always been a sucker for books with marbled endpapers or covers. Happy […]

For many years I used to wear a ring on my right hand EXACTLY the same as the image above. Then one day I had to take it off. It got knocked on the floor by someone and broke apart. I needed a brain better than mine to rebuild it! A Celtic knot is complicated. […]
