~ art exchanged ~

A wonderful range of techniques and motifs to see in the first art exchange. I am completely charmed, and look forward to putting together a tinyworld art exhibition soon. Today all the envelopes were mailed out to the eight folks who participated, and it was fun to mix and match the various contributions. I hope everyone is as delighted as I am right now!

After spending a fair amount of time at the post office getting all the mailings and tracking sorted out, it seemed like a good plan to stop on the way home to refill my transit pass with more dosh. I did so at New Seasons, for while I am still not shopping there, the transit fees do not actually go to their store, but directly to TriMet. And NS is a more pleasant store, as it lacks the armed guards and barricades of Fred Meyers (the other place on the peninsula to refill transit passes)

The chickweed in the salad table is very vividly green right now, so a good handful made an excellent topper for some open face chicken sandwiches for lunch today, um gum yum!... am wondering if it is possible to encourage it to establish itself in more places around the yard as a resilient bit of "salad"??

A bit more work preparing to carve the new blockprint, using pencil to carefully color in all the places in the sketch that will print, so I can transfer the design to the linoleum...When chatting with Mischa about my desire to address the Ukraine situation in a supportive way through art, she had the idea of changing the color of my print to golden yellow and blue! I like that idea, and the quote is relevant there as well...

today's gratitudes -
1. I managed to get all the art exchange envelopes mailed out, and all the tracking numbers matched up to the correct folks
2. Sister was not travelling through LAX on the day of the measles exposure
3. Chickweed makes a great addition to sandwiches
4. Salon with Mischa and Stef... always great to spend time with them, and came away with a good idea re my current block print, two films (both of which I can view on Kanopy) and a book that I put on hold from the library.
