I’m serious about 2 things today.

1. Resisting politicians that are mean
2. Color
Color gives me the inner strength to resist.
What gives you inner strength?

Sometimes I need to wrap myself in what came before me, to be reminded of the women who put their joys and sorrows into their handwork, long before my time. I need a long perspective today.

Cape of the ancestor women. Made from antique quilts. This piece is about remembering that the women before me put their joys and sorrows into their hand work. I gather strength from what they made it through.

I needed a little break from the chaos of our world.
I am back at it, doing my part to support the resistors and defenders of democracy.
To do the next outrageous thing that’s needed.

Mine is inside. Bats and moths pollinate in the wild. Produces some version of dragonfruit. Tropical plant. Stunning as a houseplant- mine blooms 4-5 times a summer and each time has 2-6 blooms.

Gina Kellogg @gsew.bsky.social · 16d

Seriously in need of a bit of miracle and beauty?

Night blooming cereus. From bud to full bloom in 90 minutes. Blooms for 1 night, only for about 8 hours.
You can literally watch it tremble as it opens.

Sometimes what I want and what actually happens just simply don’t lineup. But sometimes it’s interesting and beautiful and surprising anyway.

Detail of a quilt in greens black and orange. It’s about looking for what’s beautiful and surprising in the things that don’t quite lineup the way you expect.

This is such a clear description of lending a hand!

Gina Kellogg @gsew.bsky.social · 22d

One way to advertise that you are willing to lend a hand to anyone or anything in need.

Multi-crises invite giving whatever you are able.
