My friend took this picture at practice this morning, with a much better angle than mine for how still and lovely the water can be
Photo of vivid early sunrise over a river with light pink and orange clouds streaking across the sky / reflected in the still water

End of the season, drifting into the frost smoke 😶‍🌫️
Oars reflecting on very still water during sunrise on the river with smoke rising from the water in front of the tree line

I do a lot of morning news coverage for my job. Bringing some new dawn / new day joy into this one

Feeling a lot of ways about all sorts of news but so grateful for a beautiful fall day, this crew to share it with, and someone I always want to point out the insane foliage to 💜

Art-based farmers’ market purchases already yielding dividends, so you’ve been successful across at least two markets today so far 😂💜
Picture of tomato stand at farmer’s market with two artistic renderings thumbtacked to the wood, one of the last supper with tomatoes called “the last ‘maters: get’’em before they give up the ghost!” And one of an ouroboros thinking “hmm… I could kinda go for a tomato sandwich right now” called “ouroboros reconsiders”

My org just moved into a new space and they put stuffed animals everywhere (it’s sort of on theme, I guess?) but someone decided the silly goose was right for my office, and I’m taking that as another sign from the universe 💜

May all your heists lead to some snuggling under the desert sky 💜❤️🧡💛

First full day back after Portland pirate week and I’m afraid I simply did not get enough reference photos for the clothing swap AU art and will have to return as soon as humanly practicable.

That said, what a perfect place to stop and have a think 💜

Trying fabric printing for the first time and made a dahlia petal stamp to try to layer into a dahlia - and instead a mermaid tail appeared in the overlap (like the Virgin Mary on a slice of toast, only MerStede 😂)

Sun dipping below mountains surrounding a gorgeous lake and throwing out rays and it’s basically a Bob Ross painting and I love it here

love and care and holding close
Photo of a hand holding up a black and white lino print showing a three part progression of two hands on a bench getting closer and finally linking pinkies

This lino's getting awfully close to being ready and soon I'll have little pinky-holding prints drying on every flat surface in the apartment 💜
Photo of grey lino block with three sets of hands mostly carved into it: hands near each other on top, hands touching each other in the middle, hands together and pinkies intertwined at the bottom

In case you missed it this weekend, chapter two of our clothing swap AU is up thanks to the marvelous @yerbamansa.bsky.social and @petrichorca.bsky.social! It's a tribute to being in flux, to building your community anyway - and to marmalade, obviously.

Section of a digital, limited blue and light purple palette illustration of Stede sitting on a rounded daybed, holding a closed book to the top of the daybed and looking pensively out into the distance. The tops of loosely sketched pine trees are in the distance beyond him. A column is partially visible at the right edge of the frame.

Found my new artist’s statement
Photo of printer left out on the sidewalk with a handwritten sign (missed opportunity) taped to it reading: FREE - functions and has ink (black & color) but will not print properly- pages are faded in places / black stripes appear. We troubleshooted unsuccessfully. A good tinkerer may be able to get it working as new!

sometimes you get to see the sun set over a different ocean and everything makes a bit more sense 💜

My 1900s mountaineering misadventure boys are in two fantastic sets and I’m in awe of all the incredible art and love folks have put into this 💜

Ed in an old wool sweater looks down at Stede, dangling in a crevasse and looking very happy to see him, if a little worse for wear holding tightly to a rope that leads up to an old ice axe buried in the snow and ice at the top of the crevasse. Snow covered peaks are visible in the distance. Stede's boots have variations on hobnails sticking out of the soles.

A little bit of both themes - I gave our fellows one of my favorite homes and one of my favorite misadventures 💙

(I do not recommend falling into a crevasse to spark a meet cute. To misquote an Alaska favorite, in these circumstances, the goods are odd AND the odds aren't good 🥶)

Saw these signs today and thought Stede might be warning Ed it’s too much for one man 😂
