The City in Glass by Nghi Vo
A love story to a city that spans centuries through the eyes of an unaging - but not unchanging - demon. A perspective through time and immortality.
Loved it!

Now on to Reflections on the Way to the Gallows: Rebel Women in Prewar Japan, translated, edited, and introduced by Mikiso Hane.

Just finished The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo. Their writing is like a song peppered with jaw dropping analogies. As a magical realist retelling of a classic story, I was amazed at how dreadfully relevant the political clime in it is to ours today.
I also adore Vo's Singing Hills Cycle.

The Lorax book was banned in 1989 - full deets in image alt.

It was so warming to be able to share this poem at the weekend's past Winter Gathering.
I heard it from my girl @theferocity.bsky.social on Vibe Check and was like "oooh I am saving that for Winter Gathering jic" and guess what, it came up.
Read it out loud to yourself or friends for full effect.

Serenity gained from chaos.

Shit is crazy.

My bread ain't perfect, but it is delicious.

I created this zine about weaving for an upcoming school makerfair I am tabling. Should serve well for years to come!
It is an 8-page mini zine made from a single sheet of paper.

Me and my woven ikat madder tree for Madder Reds: Nurturing Interconnection at Astoria Visual Arts this past fall. I'm sure she will show up in another future show!

Currently re-reading A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki. My first time through was about 10 years ago and thanks so much to @sgweaver.bsky.social for suggesting it and loaning me your copy back then!

"The Time is Now"

Amongst the work of some of the other talented contributing artists on the streets of Wynwood Miami, FL as a part of the Best Advice installation by @kernmyrtle.bsky.social for Miami Art Week 🎉

But that wasn't all the love waiting for me at the post office!
I was surprised by this sweet yarn weirdo bundle from @kernmyrtle.bsky.social in thanks for contributing a woven piece to the rad street art installation they created around Best Advice in Miami for Art Week <<<333

A day of return! Today my art came back to me from Astoria, OR as well as from the Crooked Tree Art Center. I recieved this sweet bundle from Iris who organized Madder Reds: Nurturing Interconnection at AVA including a bracelet made of string dyed with home grown madder and indigo. 1/2
