This blog was originally all about a little dog called Pippin. Pippin moved to St Ives which is a seaside resort populated by artists and artists colonies and is on the south west coast of Cornwall - the foot of the United Kingdom which sticks out in to the Atlantic Ocean - so it is technically nearest to America on the other side of the Atlantic.
Later Pippin got a doppelgänger - namely a larger Pippin. Then various other needle felted creatures turned up and in between all that I started putting on some of our small films that had originally been on other blogs and websites, from 2009 onwards.
As I have been interested in the paranormal since being a young child, a lot of what I do is based on this concept, so the blog has developed a bit of a paranormal theme too with lots of spell castings shown as well.
The above talisman says 'Good luck to one and all' in old Cornish dialect along the bottom. The talisman shows a fish, some ancient stones, a mine and a chough (chuff) bird which is a traditional Cornish emblem and is known as the Hap Da.
The talisman can be further empowered by ritual magick or it can be spirited (or both). Various spirits can be added to the talisman, completely of their own freewill. The best kind would be those that would call on King Arthur, the chough familiar bird, a Merlin portal or something connected to extremely ancient powers.
