Spring is in the air

With several days of unseasonably warm and sunny weather I have been able to work outside.
I started by smoking a burnished ceramic 'pod' which I had made to hold 'sprouts' of wood which I made from some more off-cuts of yew. After lots of elbow grease, the 'sprouts' and their 'pod' were completed...

I also used the good weather as an opportunity to plant up a new sempervivum planter
