Connecting the planes
Liminal wishes
Reach high to the winds
And deep in the ditches

Our blood shifts to wake
As time cycles through
Seeds, flowers, and heads
Stars, suns and moons

A leaf, a flower head and a stalk of yarrow in black and white charcoal. The sun is in one I think. Maybe it's the moon.

My cat Shoki, forgetting, yet again, that his tongue is stuck out. He's sitting in the floor, waiting for me to come downstairs so he can eat. I already fed him, his food is in his bowl. But he apparently needs me to be there to eat lol

"Then he went on. “I have no peace or rest for it. It calls to me, for many minutes together, in an agonised manner, ‘Below there! Look out! Look out!’ It stands waving to me. It rings my little bell—"

A yarrow leaf of charcoal. It's a bit dark and moody I guess.

A rather tall guy I sketched while I saw him peaking around the corner. He was curious to see what I was doing (sweeping).

#ForteanFriday
An almost deer shaped head, long and thin. Slits for nowtrals. But fleshy knobs on top of his head. Very large black eyes. He's anthropomorphic with his long-fingered hands reaching around a wall

#Doorway

I see you through the trees
You're apprehensive

That's fine

I can wait

Until your curiosity
Gets the best of you.
A dark forest at twilight. The sky is blue but the trees and dead leaves are darker. No leaves on the trees. But through the middle looks like a door.

Today's book to read to the kids at the library was about a penguin who wanted a garden so he made one because he couldn't find seeds.

I mean, LOOK at this guy. He has no business being that silly.

A quick drawing of a Eurasian wren. Colored pencil on a piece of printed paper. His tail is all sticking up and he is a ROUND bird.

#WyrdWednesday

There is an urban legend up in Groningen about a motorcyclist who rode under a low handing branch and continued to his destination without his head.

Image: The Headless Rider, circa 1898. Illustration by Lyonel Feininger.
A black and white graphite illustration depicting the ghostly pursuit of frightened man pedaling furiously on a bicycle, his eyes wide with terror, as a spectral, headless figure rides behind him with headlights beaming out of a mounted skull.

A cat claw haha.

Minimalism like this makes me pay attention to the details. 🖤

This was my grandmother's Ouija Talking Board. My mother has memories playing with it with a group of friends when she was little 🖤🥰

I miss my grandmother terribly and I'm glad I was given this when she died. 🖤

A classic brown and black board with ouija on the top, pen and ink drawing of clouds, a sun and a moon, the alphabet and numbers with the word "goodbye" at the bottom.

The way my cat rushes down the stairs when I walk in the door 😍🥰

Honestly, I don't know what I would do without him.

#CatsofBlueSky
A profile photo of a black cat with green eyes sitting on a table looking quite annoyed because 1) I am taking his photo, which he hates, and 2) because he wants me to open the back door so he can hear the blue tit outside more clearly lol

I don't understand how my cat can just exist. And be so cute. And that's all he does. Exist. #CatsOfBlueSky #Cats

I fully believe that the scene in "The Addam's Family" where Morticia is cutting off the rose heads is a nod to the opening scene of Theda Bara in "A Fool There Was". 1915. One of the first screen fem fatale "vamps" and mystery icons.

A black and white photo of Theda Bara holding her hair above her head in a dramatic pose wearing a black wrapped dress and golden bangle bracelet. Her eyes are intensely staring.

Will-o-the-wisp and snake, Herman Hendrich, 1823

#Folklore #Spirits
This painting presents a nocturnal scene featuring two vaguely human-shaped forms positioned in the foreground, the wil-o-whisps, flitting near the ruins of an arched structure, creating a mystical atmosphere. A limited color palette focused on cool accents to the more prominent warm tones and soft lighting effects. Loose and impressionistic, with blended brushstrokes and hazy details. A feeling of quiet, mystery, and a touch of melancholy.

When you want to take cute #crow photos from inside the house but you have a child.
A photo taken from inside of 3 crows sitting in honeylocust tree branches over a yew tree but there is a monster sticker on the window so it looks like it is eye-ing one of the crows to eat them.
