I participated in The Sketchbook Project through Art House Co-op and "post card" was my assigned theme. I made a series of flower line drawings, then made gocco prints on rice paper. These were sewn on each of the pages. Some were left blank, with one petal colored in. I want to make more individual post cards and also experiment with handwriting, rather than relying on a computer font.]]>

When life intervenes, making you languid and noodle-like
and you don't work for the better part of the month,
even though you know something big is just around the corner.

And there will be late nights, talking yourself down from the possibilities.
