Why can I never keep a tidy work space? I start big and wide then pile stuff on top and close in to a smaller and smaller tiny bit in the middle and then realise I’m cutting on something I shouldn’t be.?

Been busy making some bread rolls today...with yeast only 4 years out of date. Needless to say there wasn’t a whole lot of rising going on so chucked in a bunch of baking powder. It kind of worked. They are a bit solid but edible...by me anyway, I’ll eat most things. Also been doing a bit of modelling, going a little more according to plan. There be Dragons! This one is a bit naked and looks more like a dragon foetus at the moment, especially because of the pink Super Sculpey but scales and ears and whatnot to be added. Aiming for a celtic look. Tried a few different looping shapes but I think this looks ok.

This is a link to a BBC article about an app designed by folk at King's College regarding disease transmission, they've now made it available for everyone to track the Covid-19 virus - read the article and you can download the app from a Apple Store or Google Play link at end of the article.

​The Covid Symptom Tracker is asking people to report possible symptoms or “I’m fine” daily. The more people that sign up across the UK, the more they can track how/when/where the virus is spreading and how it is effecting people across different demographics. Beware of other Corona virus apps purporting to be maps of virus spread, these are scams and phishing devices.

As not a whole bunch of things happening this weekend (i.e. nowt) I thought I’d take some Sculpey home to practice a bit of tiny thing sculpting...just I forgot to put in any sculpting tools. Doh! So Kirby to the rescue!! Turns out quite a good substitute. Anyone else use unusual tools for making?

Suspended in vac animation. Yup, that Easyflo 60 liquid plastic has a pretty darn short cure time. More speedy mixing required for sure but maybe vaccing this one isn’t really really necessary...??but i like it? .

Finished my first ever stint (6 days) of being an art department runner for a tv production. And survived. And now having a well-earned glass (tumbler - smashed all my nice glasses, not all at once though) of wine.

It was a hectic, long and very interesting week. All the movies you see with the plucky young intern getting pulled left and right, trying get to a place, deliver a thing, take something somewhere else, stop doing that, do this... Yeah, all that...except the young bit.? Definitely plucky though.

Many thanks to Laura and all at WP art dept for being so lovely and welcoming. Learnt loads, racked up 663 miles on my wee red car, met some fantastic people and even got to mess about with paint and stick things together a wee bit. Time for chill now.
