When you can't make

I have been unwell with a virus for the last couple of days and have had a lethargic body and a fuzzy mind. I just have not felt well enough to get down into the garage-studio. I thought that at least it would not stop me from taking a few photos; and tidying up one of my work spaces.

Some tiny lichen have taken the opportunity of recent rain to attach themselves to the stainless steel wires on our wire and timber balustrades on our southern decks. The wire is about 4mm thick so that gives an idea how small the lichen are.

And other things get caught up as well such as a birds tiny feather.

And of course many small spider's webs make there appearance in the rain.

This afternoon I managed a couple of hours in the jewellery assembling studio. It was in a bit of chaos. I can now find things - yahoo!! A few before and after shots.

I like my jewellery assembling table - a brass porthole fro a very old steamship. I will behave myself and have a quiet night and hopefully be a bit closer to recovery
