Phase one of preparation is complete! Sorting out my physical office space. . At first glance it may still look like a complete mess, but trust me it was far more chaotic before! I've now managed to completely clear my crafting desk so that it's actually useable, and remove all of the unnecessary clutter from my computer desk so that I have easier access to those tools that I actually need on a regular basis. I also reorganized my bookshelves so that I now have access to those books which will be more useful for my future exploits, and added an extra shelf for my replicas. This means that I no longer have to worry about knocking off those more fragile pieces from an overcrowded shelf, and I can finally display my lovely carved stone ball collection from @skotbiscuit in all its proper glory! . Phase two will be sorting out some technical things, like taking pictures through the microscope (thank you by the way for those who have sent through suggestions about that - I will have fun tomorrow doing some trials), and also starting to plan out my new series of #TeaDay reels. . How often do you reorganize you're working space? Is it a constant chaos or do you keep it as clear as possible? . #ArchaeoTeacup #ArchaeologyLovers #archaeologist #CuppaTea #LewisChessmen #CarvedStoneBalls #petrosphere #prehistoric #AncientObjects #OfficeSpace #HomeOffice #WorkingFromHome https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp198NDqiP5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Chessmen by Peter May It is a mystery set on Isle of Lewis, a remote island in the outer Hebrides of Scotland. I loved the setting but the book itself was lackluster for me. If you take out all the descriptions of the weather, the book will be half the length. #dailydrawing #dailyreading #petermay #lewischessmen #sabinareads #illustration https://www.instagram.com/p/BtvgsqslArR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16rcfkxa1j77f

#realmoodsketch Had a busy day at work. The brain is too tired to sketch. So I looked through some sketches I did during #lockdown2020 when I was myself only working twice a week - courtesy of #circuitbreakersg . These cubist sketches were done from photos of Lewis chessmen pieces on display at museum in Scotland. Also know as Uig chessmen, the original pieces were carved mostly from the walrus ivory during the 12th century. . . . #cubistart #cubism #illustration #instadraw #expressionism #art #instaart #sketchbook #instaillustration #contemporaryart #modernart #peoplesketching #lewischessmen #uigchessmen #sketchbook #abstractart #usk #dtiys #caricature #comicart https://www.instagram.com/p/CPTIHYlHR6z/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's #FeatureFriday which means it's time to look at those small businesses that could really use your support this festive season. Today we're focusing on those shops inspired in some way by history! (As always, I won't be repeating those shops I've featured before, so make sure to check my highlights for even more cool creations inspired by our past!) . As you should all know by now, I'm a big advocate for promoting knowledge of the past, for multiple reasons that I've talked about at length so won't go into detail here. The point is that the way I do this is by sharing information directly on platforms like social media in what I hope is an accessible and approachable way. . But what these small businesses do is much more indirect - they share their love of the past through their creations, and in doing so inspire interest in the original time period or culture from their customers. Some, like @ashwoodcandles , even put little info texts on their products, explaining why it's significant both in the past and the present. So customers get fun facts as well as beautifully crafted products! . Who are some of your favourite historically-inspired small businesses? Put them down in the comments and let's share the love! . #SmallBusiness #ShopSmall #SupportSmallBusinesses #HistoryLovers #ArchaeologyLovers #archaeology #prehistory #LewisChessmen #Viking https://www.instagram.com/p/ClYYJAtqAGT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
