This was an amazing piece to encounter at Stedelijk. I plan on doing a blog post later. The color palette was gorgeous. Looks like the photo for the placard was for the wrong placard...now I don't know the painter's name, but their piece was profound to me. Guess I need to go back...

This is reminding me that I should go back to how Fysker was originally written: as a webcomic.

Okay.
Yes, I brute forced a Latvian braid because I was scared of the actual colorwork for a hot minute and put in a 4 row rib to eliminate the curl.
But my Castlevania mittens are started!
Pattern is by Knotical North Creatives.

I've wanted a little red dala horse for going on a decade now. So, seeing as I had felt on hand, I made my own.

If slow sewing is hard because eyeballing 1/4" isn't your thing and drawing all the lines on is too much work - use the old school method of marking your seam allowance on your nail.
Done this method for years.

First Vinyl record I bought was Billy Joel's The Stranger I found at a thrift shop for $1.50.
First one I was given was CCR Pendulum and I ran both ragged on a thrifted Philips integrated speaker set up.

Playing around with my little story Pinion Smoke and drawing up characters today. Torn between it being the watercolor comic or not... there's something to love on New Mexico's landscapes...

This is heavily cropped from what I painted today. I wanted to do something other than landscapes, so returned to my roots of boudoir art.
I rather liked how the colors turned out.
