Holding on
The sky has been red or pink both morning and night for a few days. I wake up disoriented and in the dark, not knowing if it’s midnight or morning. To my relief, it’s mostly early morning and the dawn arrives shortly.
I’ve been trying to work with bio-prints for a book cover project. It’s not working. I can’t select the image, the prints are too fuzzy. I need some nice sharp imagery.
At first I thought it was impossible to make what I needed. Then I took stock of my resources. With full sun in the forecast, I decided to make some cyanotypes. But what about plants? Nothing green anywhere. I decided I could buy some ferns at the florist. They look nice in a vase with no flowers.
Later I realized some types of dead weed heads might work well. Also cedar abounds here and has intricate lacy leaves (needles?). That’s the plan for today.
I made veggie stock earlier this week. I’m sure I have a month worth of food stored, just a confidence builder not a serious prepper by any means.
I cried throughout this episode of RumbleStrip:
Catherine~ Thank you so much for this. The origin story brings an even deeper meaning. I cried too and then followed many links and felt both heavy and uplifted. Again, you bring me something important. Thank you.
Oh I got carried away with all I was just viewing…that fern photo is gorgeous and veggie broth ready to go sounds great.
Thank you! Veggie broth is gone now, and I need to make more. It doesn’t last very long, lots of soups on the menu these days.
It was through Grace that I first heard about Rumble Strip. I listen occasionally – it’s always moving and worthwhile.
Catherine~ I think I learned from Grace too and maybe Deb Gorr too ????
It’s good to share.
I agree!
