Alfred Chow - Maker of Things

Today we loaded far too many tools,
And went to the community workshop.
I repaired the damage to the gates,
From the attempted break in.
After lunch we tackled a #RepairCafe job,
And broke apart a badly glued tile.
Cleaned the glue off the edges,
And repaired it properly.
Fell asleep on the sofa,
But had to get up to do caretaking.
So very exhausted,
And nearly didn't manage #MakersHour.
That's enough for now,
Nodding off already.
Amser gwely,
#NosDa.

#NightAll #HarrietAndDaisy

A 1:12 scale diorama of Harriet's bedsit. The view is focused on the bed. In the background there is a blue fire door, and large square windows. The chunky pine bed is under the windows and has a blue patterned duvet cover and pillows. Daisy, a Caucasian woman with fair hair is undressed in bed, We can only see her head and bare shoulders and arms. Harriet, a Caucasian woman with dark hair, glasses, and wearing a white tee shirt and blue jeans, is leaning over the side of the bed to kiss Daisy. They have their arms reached out to each other.

A5 #MakersHour

I have been thinking about this question all week. About what would make my making more local. At first I thought about sheep Farms, but there are plenty of those where I live. But we don’t have are dye
houses and spinning factories , which disappeared when so much of the textile industry went overseas in the second half of the 20th century. We would need many more spinning factories and dye houses for local sources.

@MakersHour@cupoftea.social Q5: Most supply chains are pretty long these days. What would have to change to make your making more local?

A5 I think apart from the polymer clay as previously mentioned, most of my suppliers are UK based and many of my resources comes from charity shops so actually very local indeed. I’m also nuts about growing my own veg keeping chickens etc but that’s more cooking than making.
