Let’s be very clear here. I’m quite nervous about the return of my man for the holidays, after our break up at the end of summer and reunification a little over a week ago. So when I’m writing this page and I say “you” or “we”, I mean me.

Oh, darn. Getting to this point means it's time to experiment with glow paint again. Something best done at night. I have several pages to experiment with, on different papers. It's 1:25 am. Guess it's time to munch on chocolate covered espresso beans until dawn under the blacklight again :). This was supposed to be squares of textures, but that's boring. So my texture gallery will be botanicals from the Elysian fields.

Also also found my zentangle phase.

Also found nostalgic art supplies. Check out the corrosion on the gold and copper crayons. Anyway, those are discontinued colors in the little box. The pencils were discontinued, then re-continued in a slightly different color. They were my fav colors as a teen, so I had to save the original.

Still digging in storage, found where I drew word art inspired by The Raven as part of a writing exercise, I kept my notebook near as I sketched. I can't remember what I wrote with it. Drawn while living near where Poe lived, wallowed in the vibe. Also, my skulls have def improved, lol.

Cleaning out the clutter, which always means visiting Grace when I run across her in storage. I got her as a Christmas present when I was 8, in my first aquarium. She lived to swim, a little ballet, thus her name.

Solstice card ready for mixed media experiments.

HLP I DIED 2 CUTE

I have two UV dance party lights for photography experiments, they are more handy than I imagined. I think I will have Joe install one in the ceiling. Hmm. Might also need a stripper pole. Anyway, the failed early versions of my Persephone portrait are coming in handy for experiments.

Just realized my selected color/shadow thing will put an arch of color just like a rainbow across the forehead, placing the pot of gold in the nose.

Lil buddy has my back, making sure I always have an excuse to not fold the laundry :)

Yes. I need black light paints. Soon. Omgs, I want them so bad.

Was playing around with my portrayal of Persephone, made a coloring page for the kiddo, thought y'all might like one too.

How I am partying this Halloween.

I did like 3 drips and 4 pencil marks today and called it productive, if anyone wants to slap me with a stinky fish, I accept your logic.

The infinity symbol on Persephone's forehead is everything. If you put a stick in the ground and mark the tip of it's shadow at noon daily for a year, you get this symbol. It is on the major arcana card for strength, a card that portrays a woman tenderly pulling something from a lion's hurt mouth. This is your free lesson from the mysteries. Happy Samhain.

Primary colors means it will look good in kid's rooms!

Love you all.

Fuck, "Persephone As Broken Light" here combined with research has inspired a series of botanical illustrations, but I'm supposed to go work on like, 3 writing projects and job hunt.
