the next 3 by the side of the Thames:
I like knots actually.
I often doodle celtic knotwork, in long meetings. No doubt that says something freudian about me.
and these tassels are made from a series of knots - small and delicate
and big and hairy (inside my girl shed):
This is a Theme Thursday post
but I hope you don't mind if I also take the opportunity to announce the relaunch of made4aid
raising money for aid, through handmade art and craft - we now have an Etsy shop, you can find it here
You can buy handmade items, all profits to Médicin sans Frontières (Doctors without Borders) and World Food Programme USA (and probably Oxfam too, to be confirmed).
To buy, you do need to register with Etsy but that is quick and easy to do. I have more items to add to the shop when I get the time.
There are cards for sale there made with some of my photos - and there is a custom option, so if you'd like to order cards made with photos of your choice, let me know - almost any of the photos you see on this blog could be used, plus almost any of those on my flickr account.
We are also hoping for donations of handmade items - there is further info. and guidelines donating items to be sold on the made4aid website.
and there is a new button for made4aid on Etsy - please feel free to take the code (which you can find on on the made4aid blog ) and display the button wherever you can, in fact we'll be delighted if you do.

Hi Lettuce! Long time no "talk"...Love looking at your blog though! Hope things are going well for you! We're still planning on moving to London - hopefully in 2013, in time for C.'s 45th birthday!
Hugs!

Awesome pics!!
...CONGRATS! on the launch!!
Knots all around - great pics
I'm a bit curious as to why concertina wire would be hanging by the Thames like that... weird.
Very cool. I'm imagining the baloons once tied to the tree. Maybe a birthday party?
You sure have some fabulous pictures to go with the Theme. Nice job.
HERE IS MINE
