Rest in Peace Marianne Faithfull Such an iconic voice, loved hearing her with Patrick Wolf on Magpie. #musicismagic [Outro: Marianne & Patrick] One for sorrow Two for joy Three for a girl Four for a boy Five for silver Six for gold Seven for a secret never to be told www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_oQ...

(They seem a lot more trustworthy.) #NationalAppreciateADragonDay image: a favorite at @metcloisters.bsky.social ca. 1420–30 πŸ’š

A new blog post inspired by my recent visit to the William Morris Gallery now up! Some thoughts on how much I live with his designs in my day-to-day life, and when I first fell in love with the Pre-Raphaelites. #MorrisMania πŸ’š www.parrishrelics.com/blogs/news/m...

Having the time of my life in London! #MorrisMania #WilliamMorrisGallery

β€œThere are only two means of refuge from the miseries of life: Music and Cats!” ~ #AlbertSchweitzer I have been indulging in both these days. Dogs are pretty great too. πŸ’š

β€œBut man is a part of nature, and his war against nature is inevitably a war against himself.” ~ Rachel Carson Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones ~ pencil on paper

Grateful to have the studio to escape to, for some reason the focus needed for etching glass (and metal) has been really helpful to escape the worry and fear and anger my mind and body has been engulfed in. At least for a while.

Still reeling from election results and what it means for us all, but had a really nice surprise in my inbox this morning. ~ thank you @hyperallergic.com & Lakshmi Rivera Amin πŸ’š hyperallergic.com/964382/a-vie...
