    Don't see why not. Very cool. Great photos too, what sort of camera set up did you use.

    It's a humble Nikon d5500 with a Sigma 30mm f1.4 shot hand held at about f2 to blur the background.

    Made another terrarium from an old Bonsai tree from IKEA and some moss foraged from the Wicklow mountains yesterday. Decorative white stone is from Homesavers, rock face is stone from the base of Carlingford castle, steps are soft rock I found in the forest behind Stewarts hospital in Palmerstown and the rest are from Portrane beach.

    That's just lovely.
    Though it's from a photo it's as if you've captured all the motion and energy of the scene in motion, tremendous stuff.

    Just finished this piece, and decided to post here to show how beautiful yew timber is.
    I hope you like it.

    With Yew the quality of the item will always be the strikingly beautiful grain itself. You do not need intricate carving for this material, its exquisite stuff without work .

    Out of interest - where do you get your wood from kadman ? - the old man is a wood carver and he used to get them from his instructor before the lockdown

    Is there a decent supplier for blanks in Ireland ?

    I have a good stock of Yew that I gathered over the years, some elm too.

    Adverts has some supplies for woodturners " Timber Planks " should get you sorted.

    Where in the country are you?

    Used to knit Arans when I was in college - nearly forty years ago.
    Lockdown found me rooting in the attic and found some hanks of Aran wool, so away I went with a pattern from a 1978 RTE guide. Then I couldn't stop. :)

    Falling in love again with knitting. Delighted to have found online Irish sellers who still sell the hanks (except now in a range of fabulous colours).

    Flat Plaque size pieces mainly - around 12-14 inch wide - 10 or so High - or square - he cuts them to size on a table saw he has so doesn't have to be exact
