New work.
I rescued some upholstery samples from the landfill, and have used them to cover some old boards and start fresh, effectively creating a new canvas. I’m very happy with how this experiment turned out. This is a William Morris print. I took a whole bunch of the samples, so expect to see more art like this. It works so perfectly with my style.Burning Garden 1, 2026

I'm refinishing my toilet seat. I imagine not many do that but paint, glue and wear had made it dingy over the past decade. It's made of wood (or mdf) and remains perfectly serviceable. Why not? It's wasteful to buy another when this one works. And then I'd have to find a way to dispose of this one. We should all make use of what we have instead of buying replacements. Stop feeding the capitalist machine. #restore #reuse

Palimpsest Signage, Hyde Park Barracks, Sydney, NSW, Australia
https://welchwrite.com/blog/2026/06/07/signage/
Follow My Photos on Pixelfed: https://pixelfed.social/p/douglaswelch/969299126413281032In textual studies, a palimpsest (/ˈpælɪmpsɛst/) is a manuscript page, either from a scroll or a book, from which the text has been scraped or washed off in preparation for reuse[1] in the form of another document.[2] Parchment was made of lamb, calf, or goat skin and was expensive and not readily available, so, in the interest of economy, a page was often re-used by scraping off the previous writing. In colloquial usage, the term palimpsest is also used in architecture, archaeology and geomorphology to denote an object made or worked upon for one purpose and later reused for another; for example, a monumental brass on which the blank reverse side has been re-engraved.[3 — Wikipedia

Cotton is key! Other fabrics could melt or burn in the microwave!
How to make a #DIY #RiceHeatingPad
"I love simple yet useful sewing projects and these microwavable rice heating pads are a prime example. Terrible headaches and muscle aches in the neck area, all due to light cold have plagued me for years. Few years ago, my husband bought me an electrical heating pad and it helped a ton, but still, I’m reluctant to use it every time, just because I tend to fall asleep while using it and it’s a no-no according to the instructions. The solution was easy – a homemade rice heating pad. Now all I do it to fold it in half, pop it in the microwave for a minute or two and put it over the problem area to get a nice warmth that soothes the sore muscles and joints.
Supplies and tools
- Front fabric – 9 x 23”, 100% cotton
- Back fabric 9 x 23”, 100% cotton or soft cotton fleece
- 6 cups of uncooked rice for filling (you can also use other organic fillers such as corn, #beans or #flaxseed)
- cotton thread
- scissors (or rotary cutter and a cutting mat)
- ruler or measuring tape
- iron and ironing board
- sewing clips or pins
- sewing machine
- optional: essential oil (just a drop of your favorite) or few lavender buds will give your heating pad a pleasant aroma."Learn more [includes instructional video]"
