The other thing I've been up to recently is even sillier than the Fairies, which is frightening.
Domestic Microfauna 1
Domestic Microfauna 2
Local Pest Species
Microfauna of the Delta
The shapes are cut from a variety of different types of papers, mounted in the frame with pins, butterfly-style. They'll almost certainly be available at Eastercon.
I'm also experimenting with making brooches, but experimenting is the optimal term....
Pondering Babylon5, next, but the size range of the ships is much greater: these ones are all to scale, both within and across the different pictures, but I think that won't work with B5, which has too many very big and very small ships! Also, it has less good wikis, so it's been harder work putting them together!

After a recent burst of inspiration, I recently came up with a use for three fairly deep frame / boxes I'd had lurking at the back of my desk for a couple of years:
Autumn Fairies
Spring Fairies
Summer Fairies
(Not terribly easy things to photograph, particularly Autumn, which I forgot to get a picture of until *after* selling it at Novacon....)

At this year's Eastercon, I did a mostly-aimed-at-kids (although we had a few adults along, too!) bookbinding workshop. Because I wanted it to be fairly short, and I didn't want to have glue everywhere, I came up with a multi-section pamphlet (if that isn't a contradiction in terms!) design.
The card cover is folded so that it has a small zig-zag at the spine, and then two sections are sewn all-along onto it, one on either side of the 'peak' in the cover.
Inside the sections
Between the sections
It seemed to go fairly well, other than the fact that I completely failed to post about it at the time!

No longer a work in progress, I've finally finished the vague idea I had when Alison said "Do you want this box that the Christmas ham came in?"
The front is removable, and inside you can see little details like the eggs on the nest:
I suspect that this will end up in the Eastercon Art Show next year.
