Time Team S04-E06 Netheravon,.Wiltshire
For their final high-speed archaeological adventure of the series. Time Team find themselves inside a partially abandoned army barracks in Nethcravon in Wiltshire. It's not military memorabilia they're after but something much older and more interesting.
In 1907, a Colonel Hawley discovered part of a tessellated pavement - or mosaic - in the grounds which he believed was part of a Roman villa, built around AD 300.
Now for the first time the army have allowed archaeologists inside the barbed wire to check out the colonel's theory. They have only a few short months before the troops return and the site is once again off-limits to civilians. Tony Robinson, Mick Aston and the Time Team however, have just three short days!

Craft with me - from a junk mailer to a pretty envelope and tag using no digitals.
I’m working on improving my skills in collaging, so I hope you’ll join me and craft along...
Here’s the challenge - make use of a junk mailer envelope/card (etc) and create something pretty using no digital paper. Just book paper, etc. nothing printed on a printer.
What am I using?
- a junk envelope and the card that came in it - music paper circa 1930’s - book page from a novel (1890’s) - encyclopedia page (1890’s) - children’s book (1959) - botanical weed book (1960?) - and extras like tea-dyed paper, sari ribbon, distress ink and brads etc.
In the video I share a bit about bagpipes, and thistles and a movie we love that has a character playing a bagpipe, ASL and more... ???? I’m not a real chatty person so this crafting and talking is really stretching me. ????

Instructables contest
This is my entry for the Instructables and Jack Daniels Independence Project contest, showcasing my prototype Triple Word Tower. If I win the contest, I'd use the prize money to purchase a cnc router - From the research I've done, I think I'd need a 5-axis model to be able to get the proper angles; the words are carved out of a hexagonal cross section, overlapping and rotated 60 degrees from each other, and viewed point-on. The words can be any length, though aesthetically speaking I think they work best when each word has the same number of letters, as shown here. The trickiest part is selecting the font... for my prototype, I drew each letter individually and made them as thick and blocky as possible for maximum support, but I believe that other lettering styles and even pictures (like stencils used for jack 'o lanterns) could be done this way. I'd also like to explore some color possibilities; tinting the faces so that each word has it's own color scheme; I have a theory that when rotated, the facets would make it look like a jumble of stained glass until viewed from the proper angle. So many things I want to try! Please help my submission win!
