CANADA COUNCIL FOR THE ARTS had a seminar on the upcoming changes to their grants and it sounds like
1) project limits will be reset and
2) they are enthusiastic for indigenous / racialized / lgbtq etc applicants
So: here are the few grant-writing tips I can offer!

I have dreams of designing and watercolour painting some mechs so this morning's junk entry is vehicles.
Tiny weirdo cars, my beloved. It's always been sure-fire way to kick start me. So cruel and unfair that I don't know how to drive. 😭

I have my eye on a beautiful sketchbook I really want (dangers of working in an art store) but I'm trying very hard to exercise discipline for a "one in, one out" kind of art practice.
If I want this new book I gotta motor through this junk book first.

It’s going pretty good so far - still pretty unfocused and uncomfortable but I do really want to prioritize my creative pursuits and be less of an iPad baby going forward.
1. force myself to draw a little bit
2. start to feel good about my sketch
3. need a little break so I open IG, Bluesky or Tumblr
4. get bombarded seeing work from every artist alive right now
5. feel shame and disappointment
6. stop drawing

I don't think it's meant to be this challenging - I just don't have a lot of pattern literary or the patience for knitting flat.

I took a little time this afternoon to mess around in my junk book and I viscerally hate it. I feel really sloppy and uncoordinated after so long not drawing at all.

We got a second-hand picture frame and I repainted it pink and attached some strings.
Guests can write little messages to mum on cards shaped like onesies - then hang them on this washing line.

I forced myself to use some of my watercolours today with the intention of maybe giving these away at the baby shower as prizes?
Also, more satisfyingly, I made another chunk for my epp and organized my ipad files.

I abandoned the truck knit for the moment and dropped it back off at our place so I won't be tempted to work on it while we house-sat.
I had a tension headache today that made it hard to move my neck or head at all - lucky I got this much done!
