I am down with something not covid or norovirus so I’m reading light. Birding with benefits by @sarahtdubb.bsky.social is delightful and delivers the promised birding romcom. I’m only on chapter 5 but I’m loving the listers vs zen biders setup

Garden Hunting (2022) is part of my transition from textiles to paint as my medium. #mecfs reduced the time and energy I have to make art so my adaptation is moving to a faster and less physically demanding way to continue creating.

Today is Sunday, my day to pick a book from my tbr list. Today’s choice, The Road to Roswell by Connie Willis, has 3 holds already at the library so I’ll be reading one of my library books while I wait.

Lizard Dreams (10”x 13”) 2018
This was the last of my experiments with satin stitching. While doing a sample with a new thread, I noticed the stitches looked like dna. My brain then went to dna floating in space, added lizard brain, and the ideas ping ponged from there.

This is one of my favorite of my dancer pieces and came out of my attempt to portray inner states visually

Persist! (2020) came about as a reaction to my feelings of loss after getting #mecfs. My plans were gone, I could no longer make art the way I had for years and I felt like a slug. So I decided to look for the beauty in that

Since @tuhingiri.bsky.social asked, here’s a closeup of the self portrait showing the stitching on the hair. The fabric for the face was cut in pieces to give the facial structure and glued in place. Paint was used for the details around the eyes and for the lips and nose.
