words to live by

 here to report

on a deliciously exhausting

heartily refreshing week.

the art math:

big chunks of studio time+

dainty stacks of pretty found paper+

inspiring words that stand the test of time+

layering play+

the thrill of quick sketch type work+

sewing machine+

11 or so pots of jasmine green tea

a day's work.

"but tomorrow, dawn will come the way i picture her, barefoot and disheveled, standing outside my window in one of the fragile cotton dresses of the poor. she will look in at me with her thin arms extended, offering a handful of birdsong and a small cup of light. 

-billy collins

“hello, sun in my face. 

hello you who made the morning and spread it over the fields...

watch, now, how i start the day in happiness, in kindness.”

-mary oliver
