Spoons!

[Lizz]

This is a brag - I'm away in Turkey for a month on an EU funded gig to learn some traditional crafts (how much am I loving this?), in my spare time I have finished three spoons and a pair of moccasins (based on a template from First Nations on the eastern seaboard of continental Northern America), oh and some paintings. And I've only been here six days. If anyone knows how to post pictures onto this site from an iPad there could be pictures you know.

PS hello to anyone who thinks it is strangely quiet without me posting three or four times a day - keep calm there's three more weeks of near Internet death to go.. And then...

Haha, I'm looking forward to seeing your pics Lizz.

I managed to post images from iPad today, use photo bucket and use the image code to paste in your post, hope this helps

Some people have all the luck.

I know, it was pretty jammy. Someone on the forum posted the link to the funding programme months ago and I applied with about three weeks to go when someone dropped out.. Compensates for a rather rubbish first three months of the year with the ****tiest boss from hell.

Was wondering how you were getting on Lizz. You enjoying Turkey? Lovely country with so much to see (and eat ).
Looking forward to the pictures and report of what you got up too. What parts are you in?
Hope you have fun.

I'm getting on excellently well and I have made another spoon, this time from a bit of walnut wood as the local trees are being harvested. I'm currently in a small town called Sultanhisar in the Aydin district of the Aegean regio. We're inland at present (41 degrees c) and will go to the coast for a big religious festival at the end of the month where it may be cooler. I hope.
