Went to see the process of democracy in action in my small town in Germany today. Saw this bike being parked outside the building where the debate tonight was. When we left, the sticker was neatly placed. Nice to see prompt responses to the absurdity of Nazism.

Was playing around today trying to paint snow, and got an accidental really good start on some northern lights! Here‘s hoping I don‘t mess it up when I add in the color…

New year, new snow!

Little one has been missing playtime now that I’m off to school (Deutsche Integrationskurs here we go!) Ever since we lost her brother, I’ve been learning how to play like a cat. There’s naught she loves more than fluffing up like she’s the scariest one and play attacking me with velvet paws!

Loving the little bits of magic that show up in these darkening days. Last night I got to join a group of the women from the village for tea and a story by firelight. When we left the cozy space after a lovely tale, the stars wheeled above, stark and bright, reflecting in the new fallen snow.

This morning I wake after a glorious night sleeping the right way on European pillows. I have been sleeping wrong way too long. For those who don’t know, they’re HUGE. They’re square. They’re understuffed? My partner would fluff them up so nicely, then I’d fold them down to the ‘right’ size. 🧵

Listening to Carsie Blanton this afternoon as I try to get myself going on this week. She’s always such a perfect mix of protest and joy. Especially these days. Her newest albums are freakin’ amazing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=itgr...

The wind lashes snow against the house, but inside it’s snug and warm. Purring on my bed is one who endlessly wants to be out under a #bluesky (and it is right and proper to pay the cat tax) Everyone, meet Miss Ayashe Whiskerstay! She would like it to be known that she is enjoying her first snow.

A throwback to my undergraduate thesis, exploring the question “Where does the artist fit?“ A handwoven and dyed piece of cloth that was interwoven with quotes from many different artists I interviewed. #art #tbt

Opening my existence here with one of my favorite pieces I've made - a heron standing out in the wind. This piece is made of many layers of powdered glass, some delineated by lines of pure silver wire. Each layer is successively fired in a kiln. #bird #art #handmade #enamel
