ups and downs
On the one hand, unpacking is not going nearly as well as I would like. I am not going to have room for my craft books in the living room shelving units like I planned. It's so frustrating. The bedroom is the place with the most clear floor area... which doesn't really help when one has company coming. The living room is still entirely boxes. And while there is finally a table in the dining room, it is hemmed in by stuff.
*sighs*
And yet, there are very good things in the world. A while ago I stumbled onto the journal of haikujaguar who not only writes amazing and in-depth stories of other cultures and other worlds, she illustrates them as well.
Her The Aphorisms of Kherishdar project was moving and beautiful. The art she has made to go with it is complex and breathtaking.
She is now working on a companion series of short stories, The Admonishments of Kherishdar. Today's story is simply titled Cutting and it is one of the most touching things I have read. For the world to have someone with such gifts in it makes me very happy.
Check out both projects. The top of each page has additional links to illustrations and such, and on my computer those links show up very small. But they are there and worth looking at.
The main page on her site, with links to more artwork, is http://www.stardancer.org
