Sometimes the fruit here comes encased in these plastic foam 'things'. I guess it cushions the bottom of the fruit. I had thought of making them into flowers but I don't have much space for that so this seemed better. I'll have to see if I can find more... and make a whole hanging curtain

Past and future projects
These are my first attempts at making these pendants. I bought them as part of a kit from
anniehowes.etsy.com and she also has her own website www.anniehowes.com
I think I had a few air bubbles - she recommends using clamps but finding the right clamps in Korea is another matter - I've been looking without much success - they are not big on home DIY here.
Anyway I finished these a while back but the airplane one was a present for my niece (who works as a travel agent) so I wanted to wait until she had received it before posting the image.
www.solargraphy.com and volunteer to take some from your lattitude/longtitude. I will post the results - but I think I may already have exposed one film when I accidentally opened the lid of one !!! oh dear...
I've also asked another photographer here to take some form her location (as they sent me 6 cannisters) so hopefully between us we will have at least one good solargraph from Korea

Arty Projects
I got together with another Fine Arts graduate living here and we decided to work on something using the lovely paper available and to work to a deadline. The deadline is the key for me - otherwise I procrastinate forever.
Finally the end of January came around and I'd made a start

I really liked the translucence of the paper - especially when you can have light coming from behind it. By this stage we'd become 3 when a Kiwi friend of mine joined. We decided to run with the ideas for another month.
Using the wire shapes I added the paper. The yellow one was first and I'm not happy with the result - it wasn't possible to fold the paper over without losing some of the finer details. So then I tried the bottom one - the paper was stiffer and I just cut to shape and glued to the wire.
I used nylon fishing line to suspend them - but they are a little off centre...hmmm
I think we will continue with this so I'll see where it leads - over time I should get some new ideas. Meantime I think I like the wire shapes the best.

Knit project - Fair Isle
And here is my big project that I have been working on for the past 2 months. I was keen to finish it so I could get to wear it before the weather warms up too much.
It is a pattern from Knit 2 Together - and I have used the recommended Koigu wool.
