Found last night!

As I was cooling down after my run, on top of a trashcan:



Desert Babies!

Choice spread:



OMG adorable! This will be a present for my friend Carey, who is a word-class devotee of the Qte.

Also, this amazing book about bread!










I'm keeping that one!

Yay books!!

Wowee!

"One night I dreamed that I painted a large American flag, and the next morning I got up and I went out and bought the materials to begin it."

That's what Jasper Johns said about the development of his painting Flag, of 1954–55.










In 1958 he made Three Flags, and this is the envelope on which he first sketched his idea. It looks like it spent a lot of time in Johns's studio before it was acquired by the Whitney Museum of American Art (it was a fiftieth-anniversary gift, so maybe in 1981?), where Greg is a paper preparator. He found it in the racks and took this picture!

Camera case!

Il est fini!

But...but...HOW DID I TAKE A PICTURE OF MY CAMERA?????

Is your mind boggling?

Haw!

Someone searched Google for "wart hand" and ended up here!

Hope it was helpful.

Good for you

Juice cart across the street from my office.





I'll have an Immune Boost please!

Bookend

Books—with bookend.



I made it from a hunk of wood I found (somewhere?) and dragged home.





Works good!

Maybe I should paint it tho?

Project

Well, I wasn't drinking, but I think I lost my camera case again.

Making a new one with my new yarn!





So pretty.

Then and now

Skorl nest (with skorl [and bread]): winter.



Skorl nest: late spring!!

Tho the skorl seems to have abandoned it for the season.

Blanket update!!

So, I was telling you about all my different plans for this blanket.

Well, forget 'em!

I am sewing them together in a checkerboard (light/warm and dark/cool)—no blocks.







Looking good I think!
