"I am learning how (the) lines and edges become part of a new path, a map, a work of art in progress, one that bears witness not only to what has befallen us but also to the imagination and wild grace by which our scars are becoming part of our wholeness.” --- Jan Richardson Pattern:Have a Heart

A little thread painting of a pygmy owl. A good reminder that although you may be small in the forest, you still have might.

Is doing art a distraction from the world? Yes. But it also an observation, an expression, and a way to keep my heart calm.

Part of the joy of this time of year is catching up with folks we don't get to see often enough...(as well as some pooches too). I think Buzzy was just as happy to see us on his last visit <3

It's not just chickadees who pose to have their portraits done around here...This little pygmy owl also likes to come and visit from time to time. Thread painted on appliqued background.
