I've been having fun making some earrings. I found this leather at the used craft store in Victoria. It brings me such joy to make something out of scraps.

From 1772 to 1783 Mary Delany made 985 intricate & botanically accurate floral mosaics out of paper. They were the precursors of the collage style of #art. In a letter to her niece, Mary said she had invented a new way of imitating flowers. #FolkloreSunday @britishmuseum Maude Frome @frome_maude

Introducing Vato and Orca. Vato originates from the Riviera in Mexico. We've had him for about 3 years. Total mammas boy. The Taco dog rescue brought him up for us. Orca is from Kijiji and he's obsessed with his dad. He's 19lbs of classic crazy tuxy.
