The wicker structures are made by local artist Trevor Leat who is amazing. Most of his art ends up being burned in ceremonies. A most evanescent art! There is usually a local Wickerman festival in the area, not this year of course.

@NorthernMudlarks 3 года назад

His work is amazing - such a pity to burn it! xx

@icevoss9917 3 года назад

I seen the horror movie called the Wicker men, horrible as they trapped the people inside and lit the Wicker men alight

@angelatopaz8316 3 года назад

I've been to the wicker Man festival a few times. Some pretty famous bands have played there. I remember seeing the animals, the buzzcocks and the stranglers play there.

He is the uncle of the actor Sam Heughan who is Jamie in Outlander. They have had Trevor make several pieces for the show.

Hello Ladies, The "Private Uncle" plate was made using the M.I.G welding process, is most likely on "hot rolled" mild steel plate and so is probably less than 30 years old. To me this makes it super interesting as this is exactly the sort of thing we used to knock together to tease each other back when I worked in a steelworks in the 80s-90s, unless there's some other explanation "Uncle" was probably a facetious nickname for a grumpy older worker... Love it... Keep up the good work

@joannecarroll5504 3 года назад

I just love to watch you work, Gail, it's so relaxing. BTW I think you are correct about the metal plate, I believe it is a 'G' like you said, not a 'C' & that crosspiece has fallen off. Ungle is actually a very old surname in Britain. It makes perfect sense that the piece was a combined nameplate & no trespassing sign for someone's property.

"Find a penny, Pick it up, And all the day, You'll have good luck." I used to say that every time I found a penny. I learned it from my grandmother, who was English (from Hove). But we don't have pennies anymore in Canada, so I treasure the ones I still have. Loved your video. Thank you.

My hometown, where I went to school and lived a few doors down from the castle! Used to muck around on the neck manacle at the Tolbooth (where suspected witches were tortured, sadly) and ghostwatch the castle (never saw any). Realise now that the weird clay things in the garden were actually clay pipes!

Hi Muddy Angels, I would like to say, those copper oak leaves are incredible, but I would love you to do a little experiment: Pop one in a dish and soak it in vinegar to produce a beautiful "verdigris patina" on it's surface. If it works well and once you have rinsed the vinegar away and dried it, a coating of clear lacquer can be applied to prevent it staining clothes. I think a nice green patina would look so natural on an oak leaf! :) Big hugs for you both, Louie Xx
