Don’t know why he ended up red, but I love the look on his face, and the way his horns balance on his head.
That’s my dad, that is.
( you might notice it’s wonkier than normal, that’s because I did the wet stretching – Gareth is better at it)
This blog is solely for textiles, with a little bit of silversmithing now and then, and will mainly be for my historical stuff.
Please do not use my images or pin them without permission.
My interests range from ancient greek to tudor periods, and I tend to be an artisan rather than an academic - not that I don't do research, I just prefer getting my hands dirty.
I dye, spin, weave, sew and embroider, and have been doing so for several decades...

He looks delightful – slightly quizzical..
Quizzical! That’s the word I was looking for! Man, it’s been a long week
Just adorable.
He wants to be fierce, raaaar!
I like him too, and the way he balances his horns on his head.
What is the wet stretching good for?
These get done without a frame and screwed up inside my handbag, so they can get a bit distorted, wet stretching flattens them back out again
Thanks for the explanation.
I like his sweet little hoofies, too. He has bags of character.
Character comes from being slightly cross eyed
Utterly adorable!
No wonder he went red, poor thing is embarrassed by all the girly squeeing over his good looks!
Glad you are feeling better. Can’t wait to show my Taurean sister, giggles.
