Spun Cotton is a vintage folk craft technique originating in Germany in the mid 19th century. It takes several days to layer and shape the cotton over a wire armature and then let the piece dry naturally. The spun cotton is then hand painted. The art is slow and fiddly but the outcome is rewardingly beautiful.

The llamhigyn y dŵr (Welsh for "Water Leaper") is a creature from Welsh folklore that resembles a giant frog or toad with bat-like wings and a long, lizard-like tail. It inhabits swamps, lakes, and ponds, using its wings to leap across the water's surface. This malicious, carnivorous creature is known for preying on livestock and fishermen, snapping fishing lines, and dragging victims to their deaths by their legs and fishing rods.
