  • Wordless Wednesday

    I was trying to get back into Instagram and after four weeks, it just doesn’t seem worth the mental struggle. So instead, inspired by posts I receive from The ancient eavesdropper, I’ve decided to post a wordless photo here every Wednesday. All photos are taken by myself using the camera specified. Images will be of plants in my garden or 2D art/sketches/fibre projects I’m working on.

    Happy Wednesday, I look forward to sharing Wordless Wednesday photos with you!

    We are making adjustments to our already quiet home. All three of us. We forgot to include her in the decision; although, perhaps she already knew. On Saturday, through hair I collected from the cat house, she took in the scent of her departed companion and I let her know that she is gone. She’s not coming back.

    I wish I had drawn her more, but I made a promise to rectify that and when I can, I draw and am getting better at the drawings. We are figuring it out together. And this time, I will have more of a record of our time together in a way that photos never can.
