Star-crossed Troubadours

Monday, August 8, 2011

Today marks twenty-five years since my mother died. This last winter solstice, I had a profound vision during a ceremony: an old black telephone appeared before me, hunched in celluloid, with a rotary dial. I could feel the weight of the heavy receiver in my hand – it was that real. I realized that I [...]

Magic Windows #23

Sunday, August 7, 2011

To christen and complete my newly cleaned and decorated studio, I got a little half-moon Siamese fighting fish that Colin named Finnegan. He’s adorable. It’s been a long time since I had a fish. The last betta I had, Nico, was given to me by my friend Jentz when she went to Morocco. He had [...]

✸ I love these vibrant illustrations by A. Alexeieff for Russian Fairy Tales, from 1945 This bit from Eudora makes me want to track down a copy of my own: “These Russian tales are rambunctious, full-blooded and temperamental.

Waves

Thursday, April 14, 2011

O much neglected corner of the world – little quiet place where I come to lay down my findings, hollowed-out tree trunk where I store treasure. I am embarrassed at how little I’ve been able to find the time, the wherewithal, the peace of mind to write here. Too much has been happening for one [...]

Souvenirs du passé (1930) by John W. Russell – from artinconnu ✶ My new favorite blog: Art Inconnu – what a wonderful source of inspiration! There is so much here that I’ve never seen before, and my eyes just drink it in. It’s crazy how much brilliant work just falls by the wayside. “Collected here [...]
