For your enjoyment (I hope) this is a 1975 batik blouse worn by Sister Leni, because.....
This year the theme is BEES. I have been hearing a lot about populations of bees disappearing seemingly overnight. It is a huge alarm! Our friends in the cycle are so important, so vital to our ecosystem. They give us such a model of teamwork and pattern. So I will explore the connection to bees and look forward to doing some beeautiful art with them. Partners, me and the bees. and the corn. OOOOOOhhhhh bees and corn together! Fun! Pretty!
I am in obsession mode. This usually happens when I am bored or have just come off a project and hit the void. So tonight it is coral necklaces that look like snakes (coral snakes, of course) and old tv theme songs. Just enough to keep me up past my lunesta. But I will make it through because I have found just the thing to settle me down. Actually, it is writing.
I think I put off writing for years, because I was afraid of not getting a good grade. Aside from having an official license to read, getting a degree in English pretty much guaranteed not ever wanting to be judged by my words on paper ever again. Which is kinda strange because I did well in school. It just sucked my creativity dry. I loved everything I read then, but it was all paraded across my brain like a feast that you had to figure out the ingredients for. Now I enjoy writing... maybe because sometimes people write back, maybe because it clarifies what I am thinking about. Which is BEES.
