She wants to be flowers, but you make her owls. You must not complain, then, if she goes hunting.

Exclusive to Bluesky!
Water Sign by 🇺🇸’s Jeff Lorber Fusion, not what I’d usually listen too but I like the cover art!
Blue A4 & all sorts of media
Wasn’t sure how it was going to work out, took a step back & thought that’ll do nicely. Paul Kenton influenced obviously!

Feel I should use this platform more than I do. Calmer than X. Inspired this week with French/Belgian duo Ascendant Vierge (Rising Virgo) with Horoscope. Mathilde’s vocals and Paul’s vibe something I like, great album.
Reminds me of 🇩🇪’s Propaganda from the late 90’s

#self_portrait I did these years ago when I was working in a factory. I had a couple different jobs, but this one was testing Thermostats by pumping water through them (in a "bath"). If I saw bubbles (sign of a leak) they were rejected. ;-)

Took a pile of trash, embroidered a thing. I never use any type of glue on my projects, so this guy was a bit tricky to stitch together. What do you all think? #artsky

Very much looking forward to colour sprouting from the garden again, I’m bored of brown and grey. I’ll just keep stitching them from my mind until then! 😉 Here’s some snippets taken from my embroideries, some of them from quite long ago… 🪡🌺🌿🪻🌱🌷🌸 #stitchedart #embroidery #thesewingsongbird
