When I'm not avidly doom-scrolling I am gardening, hiking, making and studying textile arts, making digital art related to nature, being one of the "ladies who lunch" with close friends and asking my cat what I can do to make her more comfortable.

Trump is taking money out their housing allowances approved by Congress and giving it to them in a “bonus” so it looks like it came from him. It’s just a shell game with military pay from the ultimate con man

Certain styles of woodcut look like excellent beginnings for needlepoint tapestries. Nice solid areas filled with textures and patterns.

This print is a tribute to the resilience of Indigenous culture, a critique of imposed narratives, and a visual prayer acknowledging the Earth as our original, rising Mother—powerful, protective, and eternal.

#ArtAdventCalendar #Beadwork Inspired by Ukrainian style beaded netting, it would be a "RBG" type necklace but it's too colorful. Once you get the hang of the pattern it's very relaxing to work on, the curve needs to fit your neck. Day 17.

Think of all the spineless and soulless people who went ahead with this project. Which my tax dollars have paid for. It just screams to the world how dysfunctional our gvt has become.

Hilarious. The WH had all the Cabinet members simultaneously put out statements supporting Susie Wiles after the Vanity Fair article came out.

We're on our own here, I hope the states can form a consortium that will hire all the reasonable people they've let go so we can still have legit research and dependable advice....

#ArtAdventCalendar #PointReyes #fog #digitalart This is from several years ago, a day when the fog was so thick it looked like dusk in the middle of the day. The trees have come in very handy in other experiments with overlaid images. Day 16.

#ArtAdventCalandar #CountedThread #Embroidery Day 15. This piece was for a San Francisco School of Needlework and Design stitching contest. I'm not sure I like the bland color or the mix of sharp and flowing lines, but the gems were free to anyone wishing to stitch with them. A learning experience.

#ArtAdventCalendar #DigitalCollage #NoKings #TeslaTakedown When I attend protests I take as many sign photos as I can, then spend the next weeks removing identifying features and grouping random signs together. I love that it's a record of what was said by my neighbors as well as an art project.

I love what can be seen in mirrors. In this case, the mirror is resting on my toilet seat and what's reflected are the houseplants in my window. I've been fighting the ants from outside of them all winter; they want to farm scale on my philodendron!

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

#ArtAdventCalendar #basrelief #moldingpaste This is from an online class I took with Maria Grossbaum. Molding paste with extra stiffening mounted on tiny two-inch canvases. I should make more, I have a large supply of stiffener (a particular brand of toilet paper!) Day 11.
