When I'm not avidly doom-scrolling I am gardening, hiking, making and studying textile arts, making digital art related to nature, being one of the "ladies who lunch" with close friends and asking my cat what I can do to make her more comfortable.

Hilarious. The WH had all the Cabinet members simultaneously put out statements supporting Susie Wiles after the Vanity Fair article came out.

#ArtAdventCalendar #PointReyes #fog #digitalart This is from several years ago, a day when the fog was so thick it looked like dusk in the middle of the day. The trees have come in very handy in other experiments with overlaid images. Day 16.

#ArtAdventCalandar #CountedThread #Embroidery Day 15. This piece was for a San Francisco School of Needlework and Design stitching contest. I'm not sure I like the bland color or the mix of sharp and flowing lines, but the gems were free to anyone wishing to stitch with them. A learning experience.

#ArtAdventCalendar #DigitalCollage #NoKings #TeslaTakedown When I attend protests I take as many sign photos as I can, then spend the next weeks removing identifying features and grouping random signs together. I love that it's a record of what was said by my neighbors as well as an art project.

I love what can be seen in mirrors. In this case, the mirror is resting on my toilet seat and what's reflected are the houseplants in my window. I've been fighting the ants from outside of them all winter; they want to farm scale on my philodendron!

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

#ArtAdventCalendar #basrelief #moldingpaste This is from an online class I took with Maria Grossbaum. Molding paste with extra stiffening mounted on tiny two-inch canvases. I should make more, I have a large supply of stiffener (a particular brand of toilet paper!) Day 11.

#ArtAdventCalendar #sashiko #embroidery The upper left is a traditional pattern, the rest are based on outlines of real leaves found in my neighborhood. All waiting to be incorporated into something else. Sashiko is very relaxing, especially if you do freestyle shapes. Day 9.

Just visited our nearby university library and was fascinated to learn from a librarian that it's true--students are bombarding them with requests for references that do not exist, the product of ChatGPT and its brethren. "It's a goddamned nuisance," she said. "They don't believe it's all made up."

#ArtAdventCalendar #digitalart #Procreate My weird little hobby is creating interlocking shape brushes in Procreate, then I see how many different styles of patterns and color combinations I can come up with. A good middle of the night art project that soothes me back to sleep afterwards. Day 8.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.
