Sorry I disappeared for so long! I did Greensboro Summer Solstice again on Saturday, and had a wonderful time. I'm now the proud owner of a tophat and everything. And I got many, many pictures of many beautiful people, and I'll be doing dailies of them for a while to come :)

Fallen Hollyhock

So.... I had these hollyhocks suddenly appear in my yard last fall. I had no idea what they were at the time, but thought I might have put out some seeds and forgotten about them. Well this spring they started getting taller.... and taller.... and taller.... and eventually started blooming. Lovely black hollyhocks.

Once a bloom is spent it falls off, and I found this one sitting quietly in a leaf, almost like the plant was offering it to me.

Bird Goddess

Something new that I'm really excited about! I took sculpey and carved into it, and then baked it, and then added paints and such to brings out the lines and texture..... she is based on a carved bird goddess figure, perhaps a fertility thing, from around 4500 BCE.

Those of you who encouraged me to keep going with the blog.... thank you so much. I love you. Especially because this is the sort of thing that works for a daily painting. They're vertebra... I think from a pig. I've had them for the longest time and wanted to paint them, they just seemed so abstract that I didn't know if it would be able to work. I think it did!

Because you can never have too much garlic. I'm starting to feel a little better, but immune boosters are definitely a good idea at the moment! Also- yummy thick paint.
