🌿 Lately I have been translating folk embroidery patterns into block prints and I’m really excited about this one. This pattern depicts the Slavic mother goddess Mokosh. She watches over women, weavers, spinners, and threadworkers; she brings fertility and moisture; she spins the threads of destiny.
🌈 These totes are available for sale on my website if you’d like to bring one into your life (link in bio).
As the goddess of moisture I printed a flag to watch over my garden. I’m thinking I’ll print some actual flags when I have a chance 🧡

🌿 With so much baseline anxiety in our lives making this kind of repetitive art can be really helpful.

My heart goes out to all the Californians with fires at their door 💔 So much destruction has happened in such a short time. Rory and I are safe (for now) here at the center of the city Santa Cruz and are ready to evacuate if need be. We are sending big love and strength out to our neighbors

🕷The Wanderer 🕷 Even in my round, cozy world there are times of wandering into uncertain futures. I couldn’t have made it through the past few months without Rory and without my family and friends. They have been there to remind me that when my art fades, when my music fades, when my intellect fades, I am still loved and valuable and welcome. Thank the gods for love, for that perseverant love that holds your hand on the lonely roads of life and whispers that maybe, just maybe, we will come out of all of this alive and well.

🌿 Dispatch from convalescence //
I’ve been letting myself live a slower rhythm these days and this is what much of it has looked like. Lots of adaptogenic herbs, spinning wool, taking care of my body and enjoying life from our little porch. Rory even helped my hunt down a rocking chair; by some incredible luck we found a chair that rocked 3 generations of babies ( and then me ).
Sending big hugs to all the big feeling folks out there 🧙🏼‍♀️🕰🌿💡

🌿Aloe Vera Erotica // a.k.a multi-species thirst trapping??🌿 So... no surprises here, I lost track of time talking to my friends in the sunshine about arts and inquiry and got some impressive sunburn. So glad to turn to aloe vera and feel its cooling plant-body on my skin
