... five gold rings!..
... four sassy cats...
... three ballpoint pens...

... a little souvenir.
This list marks the tenth year that I've made the 12 Days of Christmas. Which seems insane. It feels like five minutes ago that I started this seasonal insanity.
If I'm completely honest, this year I was half intending on not doing it. I haven't felt festive, I haven't felt motivated, the fact that last year I was so far out from the actual twelve days of Christmas left me feeling defeated, and I at the tail end of 2020, I'd run out of spoons.
"Spoon theory[a] is a metaphor that is used to describe the amount of mental or physical energy a person has available for daily activities and tasks. The theory was developed by Christine Miserandino as a way to express how it felt to have Lupus. She used spoons to provide a visual representation of units of energy that a person might have and how chronic illness forces her to plan out her days and actions in advance, so as not to run out of energy, or spoons, before the end of the day."(Spoon Theory via Wikipedia)
Then for some reason, I was looking through my blogs archive, I think for a recipe, and realised that ten years ago I started this blog. And it was the first Christmas the 12 Days appeared. I couldn't not post this year.
So here we are, ten years along, still no better at time management but trying, and as a nod to the anniversary, Day 10 will be an ode to the last ten years of that particular post...

Penguin Clothbound Classics designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith
The first iteration of the 10th Day came promptly on the 3rd of January 2011, on the actual tenth day of Christmas! Shocking, I know. And the subject of the post was the cloth bound Penguin classics, designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith.
In my opinion the traditional 1930's paperback Penguin classic, with it's coded colour indicating quickly to the reader whether it was fiction (orange), crime (green), travel (pink) etc, is among some of the most iconic and instantly recognisable designs ever created. They were born out of the desire of Penguin founder, Allen Lane, to avoid the association paperbacks had at the time with pulp fiction and the provocative imagery that was synonymous with the format at the time. Graphic designer, Edward Young, then developed the iconic and eye-catching design that added seriousness to the accessible and inexpensive books. He was also responsible for the even more iconic logo that appeared on all Penguin books until 1949.
Much like Young, Coralie Bickford-Smith's cloth bound classic designs - which in many ways stick to Young and Penguins ethos of using only two colours and a simple font - have become synonymous with the brand.
Bickford-Smith has been designing covers for them since 2002, when eBooks were starting to become popular and there was genuine fear within the publishing industry that print media was dying. The response from publishers such as Penguin, was to move towards creating a more luxurious product and make books beautiful again.
Moving away from the standard paper and hardbacks we've become familiar with, Bickford-Smith designed repeating patterns based on not only the subjects of the chosen classic, but the era from which it was set and placed within an invisible grid formation which created consistency and unification among the wide range of titles. She also suggested that by imprinting the designs directly on the cloth cover (which most books have but rarely feature more than the books title) would dispense with the need for dust jackets. This would move the books back towards Victorian traditions where dust jacket weren't found, but gold leaf would be embossed into the books surface. This even meant that in order to print the front, back and spine, Penguin would have to invest in rebuilding their presses just for this line, which as the books became instantly popular, was well worth the time and expense.
Since I wrote the original post in 2010/11, Bickford-Smith has created over seventy clothbound classics for Penguin, increasing from twenty-three. She has also written and illustrated three of her own books in this time, and she has retained her design aesthetic even with these.
Ten years on, I still love these books, I only own three (Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion and Poems for Life) as well as The Fox & The Star, but it's the beauty in their simplicity, their nod to tradition and their quality that will make these classic pieces of design within Penguins back catalogue.
I'm also the kind of person that if I love a book, I have my paperback that I read, the one I don't mind if it gets dogeared, or damaged or marked, but I'll also I try to buy a hardback with a cover I love to keep as my good copy, the one that's special and denotes that this is one of my favourite books. The clothbound classics fit that bill.

... ten tasty tipples...
Cocktails!
Four days into 2012, I asked if everyone had started being good and if any "I'm not going to drink in January" resolutions had already been broken. A year later in 2013 charity Alcohol Concern UK began campaigning for Dry January, where they urged people to abstain from alcohol for the month in order to raise awareness of how much we drink and the damage it can cause.
Ironically, I was posting ten cocktail recipes, but weirdly I didn't post any variants on my most imbibed cocktail, the good old gin and tonic with lime, or what I would probably consider my favourite cocktail, the Moscow Mule.
45 ml (9 parts) vodka
10 ml (2 parts) lime juice
120 ml (24 parts) ginger beer
Created in Manhattan in 1941 the drink is attributed either to the brand presidents for Cock 'n' Bull (ginger beer), G.F. Heublein Brother Inc. (alcohol distributors) and Pierre Smirnoff (Vodka), collaborating over drinks in a hotel bar, or a bartender looking to use up old stock. Either way the Moscow Mule was born.
The reason I like this particular cocktail is the combination of sweet, spicy and sour, and the fact that you can tweak it to your preferences. It's also not cloyingly sweet, depending on the ginger beer you use. Personally, I like Fentimans, which isn't very sweet and is quite spicy, Old Jamaican which is sweeter and less spicy, and Bundaberg, which sits somewhere in between the two.
In the end the Mule, also known as a Buck, are cocktails based around ginger beer and lime, the alcohol is down to your preference. So you can make a Gin Gin Mule with gin, a Dark 'n' Stormy with dark rum or a Glasgow Mule with blended Scotch and St. Germain. There are endless variations and that's only if you change the alcohol...
It's a simple cocktail that you can make unique to you. Plantings and Pairings, has lots of different recipes for alternative Moscow Mules, both created by them and suggested from other bloggers, however the one I've tried in real life at a bar was a Raspberry Moscow Mule, which was my favourite drink at a bar near uni. The only difference to the classic is just you muddle a few raspberries in at the bottom. Simple, but lovely.
Drinks with friends and family have been few and far between recently, and 5 o'clock was any time you felt like you needed it during lockdown, so I don't know how appropriate/inappropriate it is to give you cocktail suggestions as adds for Dry January run, but at least this one you can make with or without the alcohol.
For example, I made that Moscow Mule above after I had dinner because I figured if I needed to take a photo of a drink I may as well indulge and make one... but that's a half truth. It's not a Moscow Mule, I didn't have ginger beer, so I faked it for a photo. It's actually just elderflower and some St. Germaine with a couple of slices of lime and root ginger. Quite nice actually.

... ten striking structures...
Architecture
For my ode to 2012/13, a year I wrote about ten different piece of architecture ranging from tiny houses, hen houses and sleeping spaces to a studio space for an architecture firm, oddly - though conveniently - I'm going to stick with the alcohol theme.
The Laverstoke Mill in Whitchurch, Hampshire is mentioned in history as far back the 1086 Doomsday Book. Originally a corn mill, Henry Portal purchased the building in 1718, converting it into a paper mill. For 200 years the mill operated for this purpose, until 1923 when, for the next forty years, they began printing British bank notes. A sprawling site of red brick buildings, papermaking ceased in 1963 and the site eventually becoming completely vacant in 2005.
A proposal was made to turn the buildings into houses, however in 2010 Bombay Spirits Company purchased the land and buildings with the intention of restoring the buildings to house the Bombay Sapphire Distillery, which for the previous twenty-four years had operated out of a shared facilities.
As this was to be the companies flagship, they commissioned Thomas Heatherwick to design a new construction attached to the visitors centre, and help to organise the site around the waterway that had previously powered the old paper mill. Heatherwick designed two glasshouses, which would home the plants used as botanicals within their gin recipe, including almond, lemon, liquorice, juniper, orris root, angelica, coriander, cassia, cubeb and grains of paradise, allowing visitors to see what they were tasting.
Made of 893 individual pieces of glass and over a kilometre of bronze finished stainless steel, the twin botanical glasshouses appear to pour out of the historic buildings into the water of the river running through the courtyard of the distillery. This allows the heat that's created by the stills in the distillation hall to be recycled, moving through one building into the glasshouses, helping to maintain the temperature that the plants require.
Each of the glasshouses contains a different environment as, while all ten the botanicals come together to create one gin, within one set of environmental parameters some of the plants would thrive while others would perish. Because of this, one is designed to mimic the tropics, the other the Mediterranean.
In order to complete the project twenty three buildings had to be restored, including three grade II listed buildings. They would also remove nine structurally poorer building, widen and reshape the banks of the river and help to conserve wildlife in the area. This took four years.
It also attempts to be as sustainable as possible, heat from one building helping to heat the greenhouses, there is a water turbine to help power the visitors centre and used botanical waste are recycled as part of their biomass heating and hot water system, as well recycling 100% of the waste that the distillery creates.
This building and the glasshouses that emerge from its walls, are beautiful and fitting to a distillery. Heatherwick has reorganised a once cluttered site of papermill and with the construction of the glasshouses given it a statement courtyard, making the waterway that runs through and powers it pride of place. While they're modern, the undulating art nouveau shapes literally connect the old with the new without looking affected or harsh, almost mimicking a distillers still.
Thomas Heatherwick is one of my favourite designers.
Bombay Sapphire is also my favourite gins.
Match made in heaven for me.

... ten bugs and beasties...
The Art of Mister Finch
From one of my favourite designers to another because in 2013 I shared the work of textile artist Mister Finch, which was appropriate because at the time I was spending my post Christmas days hand stitching little felt birds to put into the next window display at work.
I love Mister Finch's work, and in 2013 I wrote that I felt "shock, awe and jealous(y)" whenever I saw his work, and seven years later, I still feel exactly the same. And while I could probably wax lyrical about my admiration for his work, style and creativity, post more of his work or about the books he's written and produced, my theme for this year is to offer you something new which relates to my previous post but doesn't necessarily have to be about the particular person/thing. In this case I'm sticking with textile art.
Alena Katikova a.k.a. Lady Lillypot creates these beautiful creatures, handmaking them out of recycled materials including antique lace, faux furs, silk, Wensleydale sheep wool feathers and sculpts the hands out of clay.
Much like Mister Finch, Lady Lillypot's creatures include rabbits, mice, badgers, owls and swans, and the slightly anthropomorphised in little, Elizabethan-esq costumes, crowns and mushrooms growing from their fur. There's even the slight macabre textiles formed to look like dead birds in the drawers of museums that Mister Finch often creates too.
Now, I can't find out much about this designer online, other than her Instagram and Facebook she hasn't much online presence, but on the former she posts often, and these beautiful and tactile creatures are a pleasure to have appear. You can tell that each of her characters are created with personalities and stories sewn into their design, and an attention to detail that in the wrong hands could look unintentional and messy, but by Lady Lillypot looks organic and purposeful.
I know fibre arts, and what are essential art dolls, aren't for everyone, but I love these, and when I saw them I couldn't help but see the similarities between these two artists, but also the qualities that make each unique.

... ten flight jackets...
The Feather Art of Jane Edden
In 2014/15 artist Jane Edden was creating beautiful miniature Flight Jackets out of feathers as part of her Avian Forms series.
Which looking back on how I'm still obsessed by, they're tiny, each barely the size of a hummingbird and look like couture coats for Borrowers. Since this project, while sticking to a winged theme, Edden has moved into automata as part of her Naturalist's Library series.
These are delicate and interesting, but the subject of 2014's Day 10 was all about the feathers, so I'm going to share another artist who uses feathers as their medium and that is Chris Maynard and his feather folio.
Using a tiny scalpel designed for eye surgery alongside scissors, forceps and a magnifying glass, Maynard carves his designs into feathers collected from zoos and private aviaries, most of which aren't native to the United States with the exception of turkey and grouse. These aren't from birds who have been culled for the food industry, these are from shed feathers from birds who most likely continued living, so not only is the artist recycling, he's doing so from a somewhat renewable source.
Feathers to Maynard are the epitome of form, function and beauty in nature. Each is individual but serves multiple purposes. They will insulate from water, sun and wind, help the bird to attract a mate or hide from predators, and ultimately, for most bird, allow them to achieve flight.
Maynard's art is all about the beauty, the purpose and the celebration of the delicate medium, and carving birds onto bird feathers could potentially be seen as too obvious or hackneyed, but carving such small, delicate and detailed swarms of birds into a feather, I doubt would be for the faint of heart.
Both Edden and Maynard celebrate feathers, and their purpose in very different manners. One (Edden) looked to the existing roll feathers have within society, whether that be religious, tribal, military or fashion orientated, the other (Maynard) emphasising the important roll they play for the animal they come from.
Either way, they both embrace the beauty of feathers.

... ten ugly bugs...
Once a lonely caterpillar sat and cried,
To a sympathetic beetle by his side.
"I've got nobody to hug,
I'm such an ugly bug."
Then a spider and a dragon fly replied,
"If you're serious and want to win a bride,
Come along with us,
To the glorious
Annual ugly bug ball."
Come on let's crawl
Gotta crawl, gotta crawl
To the ugly bug ball
To the ball, to the ball
And a happy time we'll have there
One and all
At the ugly bug ball
I couldn't not put the Ugly Bug Ball in your heads since my 2015 post was all about beautiful ugly bugs and the magnificent colours, patterns and iridescent/duo-chrome finishes these amazing creatures have. And I could post more, I could post lots, but instead, I want to focus on one, Sternocera aequisignata, also known as the wood-boring beetle.
This particular beetle, with it's iridescent emerald green elytra (the hardened wing covering) are historically significant for their part in traditional fashion of Thailand, Myanmar, India, China and Japan.
But this isn't a sinister thing. There's no mistreatment, no culling of thousand of insects for the sake of fashion. Instead the beetle, whose lifecycle is between three and four weeks, are collected after they've died naturally, their eltyra valued for their colour and incredibly durable. Examples of beetlewing embroidery have survived hundreds of years, and even outlasted the garments they were sewn on.
The tradition of beetlewing embroidery is dying out, but artisans continue to keep the skill alive. For example, Colleen Atwood, Academy Award-winning costume designer, created a gown for Charlize Theron as Ravenna in Snow White and the Huntsman (2012), which called for hundreds of hand-cut rooster feathers as well as thousands of Sternocera aequisignata beetle wings to be hand sewn onto the garment.
The reason I know about these beetles is thanks to YouTuber, Angela Clayton, who as a hobbyist, seamstress and historical costume maker, challenged herself to use beetlewing embroidery to embellish her own shirt, showing not only how to work with the material but some more of the history.
Though out of fashion as an embellishment, you can still easily buy Sternocera Aequisignata elytra's on sites such as Etsy to use in your work, though they're not inexpensive. And as the wing casings are foraged from the forest, and no beetles are killed, does it make it ethical to use? If it's okay for artists to use feathers, are elytra any different?
I find these beetles beautiful and beetlewing embroidery old fashioned, but interesting.
Though to me the do look like fake nails covered in duo-chrome nail powder. Could be an alternative.

... ten pins for flair...
Yes! More enamel pins
Revisiting 2016-17 allows me the excuse to post more enamel lapel pins. I don't need any further encouragement...
... I love enamel pins. I have done my whole life. I remember dad always had little Tin Tin badges on his coats, including Tin Tin himself, the rocket and of course Snowy the dog, and also a Winnie the Pooh pin that I can't find in the house. I know it's somewhere, but where I don't know, which as the finder of the family, really annoys me.
The point is, I remember dad wearing enamel pins, as little nods to things he liked, and that's how I feel about them. They're little bit of silliness, nods to things I enjoy, representative of the way I feel, or little fuck yous to the world. You can get away with being childish with an enamel pin as easily as you can get away with being political.
For something generally not much bigger than a fifty pence piece, they're kind of brilliant.
Oh, and the second to last pin is mostly for my little sister, so I could include the following gif of a bunny sea slug for her:

... ten dystopian outlooks...
The Writing of Charlie Brookers and the Art of The Butcher Billy
For a long time I have looked forward to one mans retrospective review of of the year, and that comes in the form of Charlie Brookers Screenwipe. In the show Brooker would look back on the previous year, the General Election (Election Wipe, 2015) or even more recently the pandemic and lockdown (Antiviral Wipe, 2020), celebrating the highs and lows of new headlines, television and entertainment and the general trauma the year had caused, in Brookers cynical, blunt, honest, sarcastic and satirical style.
The Annual Wipe went on indefinite hiatus as of 2016, when other commitments to shows such as Black Mirror (2011-19), which in 2017-18, I wrote tweet sized paragraphs for ten episodes, pairing them with artwork created by Billy Mariano da Luz, a.k.a. Butcher Billy in the form of comic covers inspired by the episodes.
Well, in 2020, Brooker returned with a mockumentary following a Screenwipe-esq format for Netflix called Death to 2020, and Butcher Billy has created another cover...
Now I guess I have to explain the premise of the show in under 280 characters...
Death to 2020, a mockumentary in which characters use truth & satire to discuss: elections, royal desertions, protests & pandemics in both the UK & US. A humorous & critical look on a year of lockdowns where we barely left out houses, saw no one, wore masks & would rather forget.
Starring Samuel L. Jackson; Hugh Grant; Lisa Kudrow; Leslie Jones; Joe Keery; Kumail Nanjiani; Diane Morgan; Tracey Ullman; Cristin Milioti; Samson Kayo; Laurence Fishburne and Charlie Brooker, it follows a similar format to Screenwipe, the Netflix original was funny and brutally honest about the fuck ups and insane things that happened in 2020.
It features the traditional biting wit fans of Brooker will have come to expect, and for me, though I wish he'd done his annual Screenwipe, I particularly enjoying hearing Brooker talk about the insanity of the year past in a way that made me laugh without brushing over what's been going on. It was exactly what I wanted from him in response to 2020.

... ten sassy soaps...
Artisan Soaps created by The Whiskey River Soap Company
Over the past year, soap has become an integral part of our lives. It's not like it wasn't integral before, I'm almost 99.999999999% positive everyone uses soap every day, but this year, soap is a necessity that for a not insignificant period of time, disappeared completely from our supermarket shelves.
If you'd told me in January 2019 that a year later we'd be here I'd have probably laughed at you and called you crazy, but maybe my posting sassy artisan soaps from the Whiskey River Soap Company was me subconsciously foreshadowing.
Wish I could have foreshadowed being allergic to so many brands of soap... it was a rough, itchy and painful way to start lockdown.
Inevitably however, Whiskey River Soap Co. couldn't resist adding amongst their new soaps, some pandemic limited edition soaps for their consumers:
Soap for Working from Home (Limited Edition) -- Whiskey with a Splash of Coffee
Soap for Parent Teachers (Limited Edition) -- 2019 Nostalgia (Green Spring) Scented
Soap for the Class of 2021 (Limited Edition) -- Zoom Champagne Toast Scented
Soap for Essential Workers (Limited Edition) -- Black Market Hand Sanitizer (Bright Lemony clean scent)
Soap for Calm the F Down -- Rain Stick (Ocean) Scented
Soap for Karens -- Spiky Hair Styling Mousse Scented
Soap for the Tiger King (Limited Edition) -- Sardine Oil On Your Boot Scented (With notes of teakwood & Cardamom)
Soap for Tomorrow, Okay? -- Distracting Lava Lamp (Fruity) Scented
Revisiting this post and then the brands website, I was actually pleased to see a little humour surrounding the pandemic. And given it's coming from a company who are creating products that are a major part in keeping the virus at bay, I think if anyone can make fun of it, it's them.

... ten tiny treats...
Tiny miniature worlds
Last year, by the time everything went down, we'd found ourselves locked in the house and I finally posted Day 10 for 2019. I'm simultaneously ashamed I didn't get it posted until March, surprised I finished at all and impressed that we're still in January and I'm getting this posted!
When I started writing the post about miniatures and dioramas, I didn't intend for the bulk of them to have a post apocalyptic dystopic theme. But then again I also didn't know that the virus we'd been talking about gathering steam was going to get so bad.
In 2020 however, with an empty terrarium in the house, some old snowmen I'd made for the window at work forever ago, wadding and a spare set of fairy lights... well after complaining I'd never made a diorama at school, I made a kinda shitty snowy diorama out of these kind of sinister snowmen.
Then my little sister made it better...
... she made it into a Calvin and Hobbes snowy diorama.
She put a severed arm in the middle of the snow and my already relatively menacing looking snowmen into Calvin's Snowmen House of Horrors from which they were inspired!
I've never been prouder.
Link || Snow in a Teapot || 2019-20: On the 10th Day of Christmas...
It's stupid things like that that make me happy. Like my mum accusing me of making the terrarium into a murder scene, only for me to ask her what the hell she's talking about and discovering my little sister is a freaking genius. That's been one of the best things from this year, certainly the latter end.
Looking back at the 12 Days, and in particular Day 10, over the years I've definitely evolved and progressively made more work for myself in the amount of time I spend formatting images, finding information and as many ways to connect with the creative things I've talked about. Not to forget the fact that I write a surprisingly large amount for just saying "I love it!" all the time.
But at least that explains why I can never get them out before twelfth night.
This entry took me ages to put together, I thought a retrospective anniversary post would be simple, but it was way more work than I thought, yet I'm still ahead of last year. Looking back at ten years of posts, after not really thinking I wanted or had the energy to do it this year, I'm really glad I did. I like writing these posts, I like having a blog and while my timing's crap and I'm not very good at the whole thing, I still enjoy it. Even if it's just my mum and sister who read it.
Happy New Year & Merry Christmas! Day eleven tomorrow...
