  • What are we making today?

    Marks, put down marks. Don’t be precious. Just put pigment on paper. Spray with water if that feels good. Smear colors together with an overused white marker. Draw lines. Scribble. Cute paste glue. More marks. Only stop when your body tells you.
  • Making marks

    An automatic drawing I made last night while watching Uzumaki. Mostly just tried to set time apart where I wasn’t doomscrolling. Being locked in during a snow storm has made it hard to resist the phone, especially since I can’t go for my daily walk. My legs hurt intensely. Luckily my ulcer issues have chilled out, and the medicine I am allowed to take has kept the horrid headaches at bay. I still slept a lot today. I also began knitting a hat. Still trying to work through my stash.

    Back to the drawing, into interesting because a lot of elements always seem to appear and I usually see some type of character or spirit manifest. Will probably do more of this tonight when I’m not knitting.

  • Collage-a-palooza

    I made a little journal that included vellum pages and have been able to create some really fun collages. It’s been so fun I filled the journal in two days! I’ll be uploading all of these designs to Redbubble.

  • self-inquiry with paper

    what works? what doesn’t work? what’s necessary? what feels like a boulder?

  • Beauty transmission

    For the first time in a long time working in my sketchbook, my sacred travelers notebook, feels right…feels good. Always follow that feeling.
