I love walking at sunset, the shifting colours in the sky telling stories of light and air.
As I sat in the hill writing, this yowe and her lamb came to join me. There is such a sense of peace and renewal in these moments #Shetland#sheep#sunset#Scotland#writing#walking
He might be the black sheep of the family but he knows enough to stop and smell the flowers. This is my latest attempt to create artwork with a quilted effect...not a real quilt!
My children laughed when I got myself a pet sheep for my birthday. My daughter sent me this photo this evening, where said sheep is giving her guinea pigs ‘sheep rides’. I suspect that I am not the only one who loves him to bits. #SheepOfMastodon#sheep
In #Shetland, bog cotton is known as Lucky Minnie's Oo (wool). A witch from Shetland folklore, Lucky Minnie was said to roam the hills in summer collecting this plant. She then processed it on a card from the fairies and used to #knit her clothes
This mirrors the practice at the time where folk without #sheep
would search the landscape for small pieces of #wool cought in fences or in the heather. If they gathered enough they could make a little knitwear #folklore
