Trying new shapes while being emotional about cave art, a cave lion now. Carved river pebble, I think I'll turn it into a bead.

Thought I'd share my favorite bread recipe and storage method :) I make 2-3 boules every couple of weeks and eat a slice as toast with an over-easy egg for breakfast every day. Love that it's easy to make and there's no sugar.

Townsends historical cooking youtube channel where I found the recipe.

Recipe as plain text below the cut!

No-knead Artisan Bread

Tools Dutch oven (preferably cast iron or coated cast iron) Mixing bowls & ramekins Working surface Oven

Ingredients 3 cups bread flour 1.5 t of salt 1 egg white 2 egg yolks 2 T melted butter ¾ cup milk Barm or barm substitute- - ½ cup warm water - ½ t yeast - 1 T bread flour Handful of cornmeal

Method Combine barm sub ingredients in a cup and set aside to let the yeast activate. It should turn frothy after a few minutes.

Combine flour and salt in a medium mixing bowl. In ramekins, separate egg yolks from the one egg white. Slowly whisk the melted butter together with the yolks. Use a small mixing bowl to heat the milk to lukewarm in the microwave, then add egg white and milk, then barm sub.

Make a well in the dry ingredients, then add wet and mix thoroughly with hands for a few minutes so that plenty of air enters the dough. The dough will be sticky. Shape into a ball, cover the bowl and dough with a damp cloth. Set aside for 12 - 24 hours at room temp to rise (the longer it proofs, the stronger the flavor). It should be doubled in size by the end. After resting, preheat the oven to 450 with the dutch oven inside.

Turn out the dough onto a floured working surface; the dough should be spongy. Gently shape into a boule. Try not to work too much flour into the dough, you don’t want to knead it. Lightly score the top of the boule with a bread knife. Sprinkle a thin layer of cornmeal in the bottom of the preheated dutch oven, and place boule into the dutch oven and cover. Bake for 30-35 min, or until the crust is deep golden brown.

I made a poll on Instagram to ask about my next design and manta ray earrings won! So here you have them!

Manta rays always make me think about the vastness of the ocean. These are made in brass and shaped with the technique of fold forming. The ear wires are made in sterling silver.

I hope they live up to everyone's expectations! You can find them here!

For centuries, clogs were the most common shoe for peasants in many parts of Europe and some other parts of the world. Clogs are shoes made of one single piece of wood that protects the foot from humidity outside, making them good for working in the fields or walking through mud or snow.

Here in Catalonia, the most common shoes were usually espadrilles (espardenyes), but wooden clogs (esclops) were also very common in winter. Catalan clogs were made of pine tree wood or poplar wood, which was then smoked to protect the wood. There were artisans who specialized in making them, but ordinary farmer families in the countryside would also make their own. People stopped using clogs around the 1950s, when mass produced rubber rainboots/Wellingtons arrived. Then, clog makers had to close their shops, and most of them moved to work in factories or in building work.

Nowadays, there are very few clog makers in Catalonia. Until a few years ago, the person in Catalonia whose job was making clogs was Jordi Coll, who died in 2009. He had been a clog maker in his youth until clog shops closed, but he started again in his old age. Now, there is another one: the man in the photos included in this post is Josep Pratdesaba, who grew up in a farmhouse in Taradell (Central Catalonia). He explains that all the family used to meet every evening around the fireplace in the kitchen, where each person would do the personal work they had to do, including making clogs. Now, he makes clogs in his free time and goes to fairs and festivals to make them and talk about it to the public, where elderly people explain the anecdotes of when they used to wear them and the young children watch with amazement how he turns a log into a shoe.

New horse head necklace, carved from river pebbles.

Remembered a thing from my childhood - when I was a kid I was obsessed with a NatGeo documentary 'Ballad of the Irish Horse' (autistic kid obsessed with horses, hey), and there was a single frame of a bone-carved horse head, maybe an amulet or just a figurine. And it hypnotized me for some reason. Good thing I didn't have access to grandpa's tools back then, I was already drawing horses on every available surface 😁
