Random thought
One thing I'm noticing about the expressions of young people, and which reminds me of my ex:
Hyperbolic generalities, like "you're the best," or "this is the best meal, ever!" Don't bother saying anything if you aren't really saying anything, just do a dance, or something.
I will henceforth avoid boys who who like to use words like forever.

Self Love
A great poem sent to me when I really needed it:
Love after Love
The time will come
When, with elation
You will greet yourself arriving
At your own door, in your own mirror
And each will smile at the other's welcome
And say, sit here. Eat
You will love again the stranger who was your Self
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself

knitting
i just finished my first beanie knitting in the round (yay!).

in any case, in the process of fumbling through this, i found a site with some great video tutorials. i really need to see it in video to get ( Read more... ) -
T-shirts
The question is, would I put my art on a t-shirt? For some reason, I've been asked this by several people lately, and my first inclination is to say no, because I did a painting, not a t-shirt. After all, t-shirts are no longer simply blank canvases where you wear an image of something. They're now designed specifically as a T-shirt. The design ( Read more... ) -
