What's the trick to using zigzag scissors (or any pair of scissors or pointy sharp objects) without acting on the urge to gouge ones eye out or stab someone? #ZigzagEdgesAreFunZigzagScissorsNotSoMuch #NoPatienceForCraftworkAndPackagingAndBlah #aaargh #art #AroundTheStudio

Smells of the winter sun and jelly things. Painted layers of raspberry, canary and tangerine. #aroundthestudio #art #MastoArt

A wee wink of I-am-still-here, and a quick note from the studio to say hello! I've been in a crazy multitasking mode, working on new things and clearing out the old. Hope you too are keeping busy with things you love and staying well. ❤️✨

“First, forget #inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you’re inspired or not. Habit will help you finish and polish your stories. Inspiration won’t. Habit is persistence in practice.” #OctaviaButler #art #creativity #AroundTheStudio

Trying to get cardboard to behave, as I run the butcher's knife through its spine half expecting a fight back. A sliced thumb. And much wrestling with bubble wrap. Working very hard at not gouging my eyes out with sharp pointy things. It is that kind of a day already. #art #AroundTheStudio #thatkindaday

Painted talons and vision correction. Around the studio. || A L I E N L A N D S C A P E S #art #AroundTheStudio

Smells of blue skies, varnish and raspberry soursticks. #AroundTheStudio #Art

How certain things imprint in your subconscious, quietly, not making their presence very obvious. Only to one fine day when you're not particularly paying attention, creep up on you. In your art. In your everyday. Cracking open your facade of strength-and-the-i-dont-give-a-damn just a tad bit, to bring to light your vulnerabilities, your rage, the bit of you that's lopsided, and now a wee gobsmacked at meeting this version of you.
