not knowing is a state that i am trying to learn how to be more comfortable in.

greg-the-fox and I picked up a small archery habit for a few weeks. it is good and makes me feel like artemis, even though my form is actually terrible and i bruise my wrist up with the bowstring and i accidentally got an arrow stuck in the rafters at the shooting range, once. 

hello! here is the first page of my new sketchbook. as the years go by that I have been keeping regular sketchbooks, the first page has always remained a real challenge. here is the best advice i can muster, but no practical tips to make it easier/possible.

Here are some non sketchbook embroideries that I have been working on in recent times--it is easy to make these on my train commute. They are just made with embroidery floss on muslin, freehand. Thanks to one man named Greg for taking these photos for me!
