A good thing, really, as I spent some time last week lurking in a camera shop taking trial photos with a $750 Leica C-Lux 3 (based on this recommendation), a Panasonic FX38 (which I was reliably informed was the exact same camera as the Leica just rebranded and $250 cheaper) and the Canon Powershot G10 (which has 1 cm macro shooting. As a miniaturist this makes me tempted to ignore the $800 price tag and buy one immediately. 1 cm! Just the thought makes me feel like hyperventilating.)
Anyway... Where was I? Oh yes, playing with bark in class tonight.
Admiring the texture:
Checking to see if I could draw on it (I'd left my ink at home so a Fine liner and Sharpie has to suffice):
Weaving it:
Soaking it:
Researching it:
Plaiting it...
Chewing on it (not shown. Also not shown: the Tutor's alarm when he noticed what I was doing. I figured I was pretty safe as I'd just read in one of my books that that's how you make brushes out of it...)And, finally, experimenting with combining it with some printer bits:
(*Stumped for a title? Branching out? Barking mad?)

Was it tasty?
Barking mad seems appropriate
