Bakery
Betty’s younger sisters made this bakery from a cardboard box; the edibles are made from Du-Kit. Each tiny croissant is approximately the size of Betty’s thumbnail; the jam tarts are even smaller. So pretty!
NidarianPequod
One of my favourite artists, nanopod (Tosca), has just put her latest creation on Etsy. These mythical creatures are to be worn as pendants and they are pretty much the most gorgeous thing Betty has ever seen*.
*(apologies to the boy person friend and the Baggins, and so on: Betty still loves you, too)
Steampunk is all around us
Pleasing, no? It’s in one of the throoms at the Baptist Tabernacle.
More Britomart art
The nice headless artist of a previous blog post, diligent sleuthing reveals, is named Aleksandra Petrovic. I found these paintings near the fountains at Britomart.

She looks down with confident serenity; the Jell-O came out well, and all is right with the world.”
Britomart gallery
I walk past this gallery window on the way to the ferry and the train. I love these drawings. Granted, I love the bulldog clips and the string as well, but check out all the headless gorgeousness:
