2. If you can, send money to organizations that are filing lawsuits, helping immigrants, or in any other way fighting against the destruction of our democracy and nazification of our country. The ACLU is always a good idea, but you can find lots of other organizations to support with google.

This is lovely? Is it paint or something else?

That's what we are calling it here, too - a coup.

It's a little bit finicky! And I realized after the first piece (not this one) that I had to make the triangles on the two sheets different sizes to get the to line up right in the woven part, because of the bending in the warp paper in order to fit around the weft paper.

I miss shoveling snow!

Lovely! Is this a collagraph?

Have you seen all the videos on line of people skating on perfectly clear and snow-free frozen lakes in New England? It's amazing! Alas, nothing is frozen here. No snowshoeing...

Well, yes, of course, that would be a painting you made! ;-)))

Telephoto lenses (or zoom lenses) are awesome for doing candid portraits. Not that you seem to do portraits! But it's amazing how well you can capture people when they have no idea it's them in your viewfinder.

That looks like a good idea! I'm forever trying to keep from getting ink in the wrong places...

It's extraordinary - I hadn't seen this before! But having just googled it, it seems like it was just built as one man's "folly" (not in a critical sense, in the sense of something pretty but frivolous that a rich person decided to create), and has never really been used. Looks dangerous to cross!

Aha, I get it! Thank you. Maybe I should create "artist refugees from the metaverse!" 😂
