Textile artist Alison Wake creates evocative landscape art thorugh the medium of stitch. Living in the Peak district just south of Buxton she is inspired by the scenery and architecture of the area. Alison's work often features well known landmarks, but from a different perspective

A reminder that our Spring Art Fair is this coming weekend, 12th & 13th April, in the Octagon, Pavilion Gardens, Buxton, open 10am to 4pm.
You may hear reports that the A515 is closed this weekend at the Brierlow Bar junction. A, not too onerous, diversion will be in place via Old Coal Pit Lane and the A6 - Buxton is not cut off! We are really looking forward to seeing you all 😊

"On 11 January, gritters were blocked from accessing the road at Rushup Edge, close to Mam tor, by about 200 doubled-parked cars."

I'm planning some #EnPleinAir #PaintingWithYarn and following the theme I thought a Derbyshire quarry might be a good subject. This is a #Millersdale Quarry (now a nature reserve) just off the #MonsalTrail I had a nosy around today as the morning light was good - some great shadows. A bit chilly to sit around today, but an option when the weather warms. NB #PhonePhotos so not brilliant!

Wide photo of a disused limestone quarry in winter. Large boulders in the foreground and the crag behind. Bare trees on the top and in the bottom. Blues sky
A close up image of a bare tree, part covered in moss, casting a clear shadow onto a limestone rock face (which also has moss)
Tall image of a limestone quarry face with interesting shadows cast by the uneven surface. Bare trees stand in the foreground and on top of the crag. Blue sky above
Another view of the quarry face this time mostly in shadow. The foreground is in sun, boulders and a small bare tree

Sometimes atmospheric haze can almost work in your favour. I always quite liked the way the different hills are given different tones to the different amount of haze they're viewed behind in this one.

Still: carry a yellow filter. You don't have to (and shouldn't) use it all the time, but goddamn, you'll kick yourself when you need one and don't have it.

A view from the Monsal Dale viaduct, looking out across the dale itself. There's a lot of haze. Also, a fair amount of sheep. Not long after this was taken, I scrambled off down the hill to take the photo of the bridge from a couple of days ago. The sheep weren't impressed. Neither was my mother, to be honest.

Here's another view of yesterday's viaduct at Monsal Dale. This isn't the best photo I've ever taken by any means, but I thought it was worth posting because it illustrates one very important thing: *yellow filters aren't just to make clouds look pretty*.

Carry one. They're basically mandatory in hazy and hilly landscapes. I didn't know this in 2013. I do now.

A view down into the valley at Monsal Dale, Derbyshire. You can see the viaduct cutting across the valley. What you can't see is much in the distance behind it, because haze is a bitch.

Well for the last 3 days I've been welding to keep warm! This chap is made from engine & plough/harrow parts with the odd nut, bolt & spanner. He's a seat for the Toll Bar Fish & Chip Shop in #StoneyMiddleton #PeakDistrict who had their original one vandalised on Boxing Day😢 I've named him "Steel Stanley" after my much missed Spoodle whom I lost to a stroke a couple of months ago. He'll be powder-coated next week as I don't want anyone getting a rusty bottom! #recycle #metalwork #MansBestFriend

A bench made from recycled steel parts in the form of a small happy dog!
