5 hours of stitching outlined in black and where I am to date on this square. I generally don’t track my embroidery hours because too much of a pia and demoralizing when people think my work is expensive.

PS: I’ve got some lovely originals available on my website: www.laurabundesen.com/shop/art

There once was a man who owned a deli in Northampton, Massachusetts who later went on to become a very successful coach, keynote and workshop presenter all on the power of applied improv. 10 years ago he suggested I do a brain piece - I’ve made more than 100 since. Meet Izzy Gesell in his deli days

My weirdo love kept a lot of stuff - here’s a few I found today in amongst the piles of files
7 pins- from top down: JFK, Obama inauguration, ‘I didn’t survive cancer to die of stress’, ‘pour your own damn coffee’, ‘take New York City out of the war, picture of the Beatles and lastly another Beatles pin that says ‘The Beatles’ A fake western union telegram that says ‘Fuck you - strong letter to follow’ all in caps

I like that - and feel the same way. I’ve worked a little bit in clay so I know how much works goes into your masterpieces - keep it up 🥰

I’d love to know the story behind your octopus art. I thought my embroidered neuroart was niche but I think you take art niche to a whole other level

My cute kitty Ben mostly sleeps all day and night. Guess he is aging too.

Spent some more time working through piles of handwritten notes that my love left behind. This was a gem I never saw before. 🥸
Sign that reads:

Notes from Izzy:
Emotional mold - the crap that collects around relationship issues that cause pain but aren't dealt with. Smells funny, tough to get rid of.

My love Izzy Gesell met all his goals in life as written out some time ago. Found both of these gems in the shed this week. 🥸🥰🥸 - I’m trying to remember “It’s Ok to Smile During Hard Times”
A handwritten note that says:
Be: honest, truly compassionate, focused, loving, loved,tolerant, friendly, part of family 
Do: author a book, help people find joy in their lives, earn a satisfying peaceful living, be creative in a variety of areas
Have: home, comfortable car, garden things to be physical with, enough money to keep from panicking retirement fund, health, open spaces Izzy Gesell on the cover of Health Promotion Practitioner magazine (Jan-Feb 2011) with cover story title -It’s Ok to Smile During Hard Times
