Losar Tashi Delek! 🪷 Happy Tibetan New Year to my friends who celebrate. May the Wood Female Snake Year bring you happiness & resilience. May all beings be peaceful. May all beings be happy. May all beings be safe. May all beings awaken to the light of their true nature. May all beings be free.

Walk? Yes please!

WIP - a fermentation jar with an elephant for the overflow. Proportions are off on the elephant, but I was running out of time in the session and I wanted to get it done and see how it works. I’m currently in a community studio with a few short sessions per week, which is tough to time anything.

I always feel better when I spend time creating. I have to reminding myself of that fact or I get so busy being bitter and saddened by what’s going on that I don’t make the time to get to the studio. No matter how you feel, make room for the positive.

Even though it is still snowy outside, it is time for me to start my sweet potatoes sprouting so I have a ton of slips to plant this spring.

Tasty right out of the oven.

Day dreaming about spring planting.
