Amberley Mid-Summer Steam Fair 2009...

It's very rarely that I can be persuaded to leave my workbench but, due to an increasingly alarming creative blockage, I set out to visit the Amberley Working Museum's Mid-Summer Steam Fair...

There are far to many exciting things to look at within the museum and a visit is highly recommended...
Highlight for me, after asking the man politely, was having the Tesla Coil sparked up...Wow! That's loud...

Collaborations...

Having lived together for nearly 11 years now it's rare that Linda and myself ever agree on anything but...
We both like these pieces...


Which just happen to be collaborations between the two of us...
Linda made the bowl and the head and I applied the paint finishes...

Shabby Chic Noddy Box Experiment...

Basically a distressed paint effect...Not my sort of thing really but I thought I might give it a go, it'll match the clock re-mount..
I still have to seal it, add a base and, maybe, a lid..
I think I'll keep my pens and pencils in it...
