this is Hamlet, but most days he only responds to Baconator

i wasn’t going to post this but… why not? the friends ik on here are super nice. my husband - who is getting this for christmas - already loves it even though this is just the background. nothing to lose 🤷🏻 progress on a piece that will have quilled paper i shredded from a newspaper we randomly got
alt text for this photo is on the third photo! alt text for this photo is on the third photo! sorry for not giving alt text on the previous two images. my RA is bad today and my hands are hurting. the images are similar but there’s less of the same thing: it’s a thin flat white canvas that i’m covering with heavy fragments of heavy-duty paper i’ve torn by hand. because i’m tearing the pieces by hand, the edges are ragged and uneven with a lot of them showing white from the middle layers of the paper. i used a darker palette of colors with navy blue, kind of a burgundy wine red, and a dull grey. the wine red has a bit of a floral print on it but it’s in a similar color so it’s like a faint shadow. then there’s a brighter green with images of plants and butterflies that pops out from behind. it kind of gives an image of life that you can be sure if it’s nostalgia or hope or both. in the previous two images i had started working from the lower left and moved over to the lower right. then i moved to the upper right. in this photo, most of the canvas is covered except for the top 1/4 or so here i’ve got an large, blue, Aldi (grocery) tote bag full of shredded newspaper pieces. they’re very thin - about half the width of a pencil or pen - and the bag is almost full!

them: you should try meal prepping

me: WAY ahead of ya 😆
pictured is a zip-closed food storage bag containing two simple peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on plain white bread. the crust is still on the bread despite me being essentially a 5 year-old and hating bread crust. i’ll remove it later and feed it to my dog when no one is looking. the hand-written label on the bag indicates that the jelly is strawberry and that the sandwiches were made today. not much is visible behind the sandwiches or food storage bag because i carefully frame my photos to hide the clutter in my kitchen. i call it artful photography, but it could be me avoiding cleanup. let’s not decide now. if you are noticing that there is far more text in the descriptive text than the caption of the photo, that is correct! when my ADHD self remembers to leave alt-text (sorry for when i don’t) i like to leave little fun conversational bits here. if you’re reading this, hello!
