I understand justice matters but the reopening of cold cases is surely going too far now

Ephemeral collage made of small campground finds, including lichens, mosses, dried cedar scales, cones, bark, and a discarded snail shell. All arranged on a picnic table bench.

A dog who knows his angles sits under a shady tree. Tongue: lolling. Ears: magnificent.

He wouldn’t move until I took his picture.

Urban sketch of a red colonial building in Bangalore held up against the actual building

Always wanted to sketch this building and finally gave it a shot the last time I went to Cubbon.

Hard for a person like me who's used to loose expressive florals. Good thing I never tried to be an architect! :)

Me: *stands on one leg*

My flamenco teacher: No.

Etymology of the day: in the expression ‘just deserts’, ‘deserts’ is an old past participle of the French ‘deservir’, meaning ‘deserve’. To get your just deserts is to get what you deserve.

‘Desert’ in this sense is obsolete, which is why lexicographers see ‘just desserts’ popping up everywhere.

Rewatching Yeh Dillagi for the Filmi Ladies podcast and I am having THOUGHTS and CONCERNS, but I do like Kajol's (or Deven Verma's, I suppose) little frog-shaped coffee cups.

A watercolor painting of a field of buttercups and other pale purple and pink wildflowers lies on top of a watercolor tutorial book with the reference painting.

Painting buttercups from Sushma Hedge's Wildflower Watercolor book and remembering the time when I waded through a sunny field in Shelburne Farms,Vermont to pet a sweet donkey called Dudley.

Six closeup views of a handwoven shawl. Five show in progress work while on the rigid heddle loom, one is the finished shawl worn by the maker. The yarn color palette is reminiscent of a 1970s era kitchen: avocado green, harvest gold, and rose, with accents of orange, purple, and a dark green. Techniques and tools: plain weave, 2x2 and 4x4 Leno twists, Brooke’s Bouquet lace, clasped weft, added mohair and Wensleydale locks and silk noil; 24” $5 garage sale loom with one heddle, swords and pickup sticks (to deepen the single shed and to add a second). Velma Root 2011

My 1st time #weaving: a hands-on rigid heddle demo led by my friend Janet Finch on a pre-warped loom. I tried every pattern I could find ’til I ran out of warp & this sampler shawl is the result.

Lesson: beginners don’t have to stick to beginner patterns!

Watercolor painting of yellow primulas or primroses set against a reference picture of the same flowers.

Found an old coffee table book called "The Beauty of the Countryside" at Blossom Book House and despite the size, lugged it home so I could paint all the lovely pictures in it.
