I really wanted to make the sock bunny that Heidi (from My Paper Crane ) created, but I didn't have any of those fantastic red and brown monkey socks.
For as long as there’s been art, there’s also been really, really tiny art. Yet miniatures are usually relegated to a tiny corner in a museum (pun intended). Which is exactly what makes Otherworldly , a current exhibition at New York’s Museum of Arts and Design, so wondrous: This just might be the largest exhibition of miniature contemporary art ever assembled, featuring 37 artists. In every corner, another tiny world. One of the strangest facets of seeing the show is how durable the appeal of miniatures really is. You might think that they’d be passe in an age where digital worlds can be so infinitely complex.

CHILD IN HARMONY: WEAVE WITH NATURE
Inspired but nature. All you do now is look for interesting things to weave in-between the twine, try anything; twigs, leaves, feathers whatever you find. We live close to the beach so when I do this activity with Ben, Dan and their friends we use anything we find on the shore; seaweed, bits of old string, sometimes a bit of manmade stuff, it's all part of the fun of using whatever's around you. Thread whatever you find through the warp threads. Of course you can experiment with different sized weaving boards as well. Or as an alternative to twine make your own cordage from nettles and weave using coloured paper.
