    I've just realised I've been posting my NY greeting all over the shop but forgot to post it here! I can't even blame the usual NY Eve excuse as I was strictly dry because of meds ☹️ ... Ah well, here's hoping you've had a good new year so far and hope for the remaining 362 days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_w-AnqUaTE

    I'm a 99% acoustic guitarist (I still have tape recorders!) but I've always been fascinated by anything with knobs, switches and dials. You've made a fantastic job of these devices, and I'd never be able to keep my fingers off them if they were physically present.

    Brassica triffidus?

    For anyone new to MC, there's a handy instruction book, The Little Book of Mornington Crescent by Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden and Barry Cryer, still in print. I read a friend's copy and I look at it in a wholly different way now. Mostly from behind the sofa ...

    Thanks! Glad you enjoyed them; that's what it's all about.

    A couple of years ago I made one or two nutcracker pictures. This year I thought I'd have a go at the Mouse King, based on the character from Tchaikovsky's ballet (taken from the story by Hoffman). As far as I could, I used symbols for the two sides, and used pixel brushes to add textures to some of the vectors, clipping the pixel layers to their vectors. And a Nutcracker for comparison (quite different in style!).

    I've been very remiss -- haven't posted anything for ages! Here's a video I made in AD, animated in OpenToonz, of a 1960 recording by Sheila Hancock of Sydney carter's song. Click on the link, not the pic. (That's not Ms Hancock in the pic!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CV8dEuqW0U

    I have the same problem with the mesh warp live filter in Photo (on a Windows 11 desktop pc). If I apply it then resize the image the mesh remains the same size and in the same position with respect to the top left-hand corner and the pixel layer is hidden. Moving the mesh back doesn't make the pixels visible; they only reappear if he mesh layer is hidden. I'm having to redo several hours work now. I have rasterised the warped layers to avoid the problem recurring, but this defeats the object of having an editable warp. Not a happy bunny!

    Mystery solved! I resized the images -- the sources were all different sizes and bigger than the target app. The meshes stayed where they were and didn't resize. 😕 Also, Undo doesn't remove the mesh, only the changers made to it.

    I'm preparing some images of mouth shapes for a video. Last night I put the upper and lower lips in groups (along with tongue & teeth) and applied a live mesh warp filter in Photo to each to form the various letter shapes, and saved everything. This morning I find the meshes seem to have disappeared! No nodes or lines appear when I try to edit them, and the warped image is not showing. When I turn off the mesh the original image is still there. What's happening? Can I restore the meshes, or must I delete them and reconstruct them? (If I do, I'll have to rasterise them, and lose the ability to edit later.) There are ten to twelve pairs of shapes for four separate characters, so you can see I'm reluctant to start all over again. The top image shows the default mouth shapes with no warp applied. The middle one shows the 'W&Q' shapes with the meshes turned off, and the bottom one shows the same with the upper lip mesh turned on: the image disappears (revealing the colouring for the inside of the mouth).

    It's a Landini L25, built 1956. An Italian manufacturer. I do blur the background sometimes, but the colours were so bright it would still have distracted from the tatty one.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one! And I'm glad you got this one, not me -- you've made a much better job than I would have done.

    Solly, much as I enjoy pristine showroom-condition restorations, I admit to a great liking for the 'lived-in' appearance: machines that look as though they're still in use. Indeed, there were a number of demonstrations including a sawbench, a carousel and other fairground rides, and steam ploughing.

    We spent a day at the Bedford Steam & Country Fayre last week, which is held annually at the grounds of Shuttleworth College, Old Warden, Bedfordshire. (It's the home of the Shuttleworth Collection of classic aircraft.) As much as I like the gleaming restorations, there's something about a tatty old machine that appeals to me. I selected this one on a new layer and desaturated the background to stop the colourful surroundings competing with the subtle tints of this old girl. Here's the original:
