Go green in style when you stitch the timeless Green Man, a protector of nature and symbol of rebirth.
What can children find out about the Green Man?
It’s spring! It’s finally spring! I know it’s spring because a) there’s a big pile of marking on my desk to be done, b) it’s no longer pitch black outside

Spring is unmistakeably - and finally - turning to summer in Britain. As the seasons turn, embrace your inner pagan.

As you move around both the inside & outside of Rosslyn Chapel, there is a procession of Green Men, starting out very youthful and ending up, well, dead. Here's the second to last one. Now for some outdoor shots of Rosslyn Chapel! The last few times we visited it was covered in scaffolding so we were looking forward to seeing more of the outdoor carvings, but it was pouring rain while we were there. I decided to make a quick run around the chapel anyway for some quick shots. As per usual I posted just a photo or 2 while actually on vacation, so now I am going through and filling in with the photos I didn't post. Here's a photo from last Thursday--last day of our vacation.

My husband's Christmas party this year was a masquerade ball so he asked me to make a mask for him. We decided on something inspired by the Green Man. The base of the mask is paper mache (I used layers of gum tape) with a final decorative layer of my mono printed papers torn into…
... and the fence behind him. I hope they don't start on the house next! The green man is a well known character although his origins seem uncertain. These days he's often seen in gardens, as a symbol of rebirth, but older versions have been used in churches for centuries. This one was made by a local lady who, coincidentally, loves cats. Can't think why I would like her, can you?! :)
