Helen Musselwhite





I have previously featured Helen Musselwhite's amazing papercut artwork, but I was alerted to some of her new work by Hannah Nunn who sells some of Helen's work in her online store and retail shop in Hebden Bridge. I am a big fan of papercut work and also of the glass domes/cloches and specimen jars which keep popping up in photoshoots over the last year, but I have never seen the 2 combined or anything done with those domes as beautiful as Helen's work. You can see plenty more of Helen's work here

Snow Way Out of Sheffield






Woke up this morning to a whole heap of snow, about 1 1/2 feet deep. I absolutely love the snow, i could live in somewhere like Svalbard no problem! Its been so peaceful in Sheffield today, although I was witness to a lot of panic buying in the supermarket, I turned up about 12.30 and all the bread, milk and vegetables had gone! The snow is so bad all the trams and buses are not running, most businesses called it a snow day and no cars on the roads, Anyway, we went out for a walk this morning and took some pics. It was pretty deep! Some people were even ski-ing to work.
