Bloom and Grow

I painted today mostly out of depression over the upcoming election here. We have no real democrats running.
They are all fake Democrats. Therefore I have extra time as I'm not writing postcards or donating my time to get Republicans re-elected.

I have recently taken up watercolor. Based on my experience with other mediums, watercolor is the most difficult.

I decided, a week ago, to unlace a not so small braided rug I made that had a bulge and I wanted to re-lace it so I've been working on that. I'm almost done with the part that was already made, I still have another week of braiding and lacing after that, it's a 6' round. I can't wait to have it flat on the floor and all the components out of my way so I can play with my other toys.

nice. I think any craft is a diversion from all the political stress sometimes. Like to see it when you get it done. Have a good week.

post pictures.

I have plenty of distractions to engage with, just not much space so I don't get to do much unless I'm ready to do a lot of space prep prior to any activity.

I'll get around to them eventually.

to art, and music, channeling hope and love. I had the best day yesterday doing just that!

I know it's corny, but let's send out good vibes to the Universe to let Good prevail!

Also, I love your art!

your so right. We all need some peace.
I have good days when I'm creating as well.

Living in Ohio is pretty depressing these days.
