Day 70 - Beetle Binder

This actually took two days.

In April I will be presenting my shop (alongside other local Etsians) at the Orange County Library's Etsy event (just a note, I'm not allowed to sell anything there, but will be holding a raffle). My ongoing preparations include putting together a portfolio: this 6" x 8" three-ring binder of lino prints and ACEOs. I of course chose an insect for decorating the cover so that it would also count for Bug-A-Day. Multi-tasking! It is a paper mosaic of a tiger beetle; basically cut up, glued bits of paper. One of my older ACEOs served as a template.

Day 6 - Lizard

The drawing of this lizard was interrupted by errands today but luckily I remembered to come back to it. The hubs walked in while I was working on it and said " ugh " (and actually flicked out his tongue much like a lizard)...which I suppose means that it looks real enough ;) ~January 6, 2022~ The Gallery for this Draw Something ( anything! ) Daily Challenge can be seen HERE

The Heian Book Report

I've started re-reading my Heian-era Japanese Literature books (all English translations) and thought I'd write a few thoughts about each while it's fresh in my mind. I started with Hojoki and Tsurezuregusa . So, this is just my announcement, you can read a bit more about my Heian Obsession here and I will post all of the book reports to this page .

Maceo

Last night I lost my beloved Maceo. I've had him since he was six weeks old and he just turned 17 on April 1st. I miss him dearly already. Rest well sweet boy.
