Went to my brother’s studio open day on Sunday with my mother and my children. Lots of brilliantly talented artists displaying their wares, but my brother and his wife had the best stall by miles.

They were making key rings and fridge magnets and fists that could be used as paperweights (if anybody is over 70 and still has much paper) or just gorgeous pieces of art. They were casting children’s hands and fingertips. Just brilliant. Endless possibilities for personalised body parts:-
