I have black walnut to work with!
I'm going to carve a spoon as a "thank you" for the woman who gave it to me.

Inktober, day 20. "Ancient prophecy" was a difficult prompt for me, but I tried to give it a feeling of how an ancient prophecy would be hard to interpret (or easy to misinterpret) when one is so far removed from how the elements of it would have fit together for the prophet, or prophets.

Sounds legit.

I'm preparing for making my first dorodango - shiny mud dumpling. I'm breaking down and sifting the dirt, picking out rocks and twigs. This hard, clumpy stuff and this fine powdery stuff are the same dirt.

Inktober, day 19. I'm getting better at letting my spiderweb drawings be more organic, less human planning. Spiderwebs enchant me.

Inktober, day 18. The prompt is "magic potion". This might be my favorite that I've done so far. I decided to do watercolor so that it would be made from a magic potion.

Shai-Hulud wiggled off into his cave when I pulled out the camera earlier today, but he's allowing a picture tonight.

Inktober, day 17. Y'all, the "monster under the bed" is probably just a kitty. Let's be reasonable about this.

Inktober, day 16. Currently rehersing in my mind explaining to family members that I am not obligated to like what I drew just because they do. This raven has issues. I don't usually draw birds. But I'm committed to doing the drawings every day, not just the ones I'm good at.

I finished my pumpkin!

Inktober, day 15 - That Weird Color. I'm not saying I like it, but I definitely think I was successful with "weird".

Inktober, day 14 - "Dont open that box!"

Inktober, day 13. Hydra. More Lernaean, less Lovecraftian, totally a danger noodle.

I knitted a tiny whale. 🐳 #CoSoKnitting

Inktober, day 12. Ghost ship. This has led to conversations about ship design and construction that included the phrase "no shade to the searfaring community, BUT..."

It's been an exhausting day, so I went really simple with my Inktober drawing. I'm betting the fictional person who has slime pouring out of their air vent is having an exhausting day, too.

Inktober, day 10. I had ideas in mind for a crossroads drawing that would have focused on Hekate, but Robert Johnson was in my mind when I finally picked the pen up.

Inktober, day 9. Just a quick drawing with markers today. I reject a lot of werewolf lore. In my mind, these are not "wild beasts". When you consider what the body would be doing during transformation, werewolves are trauma survivors who get blamed and feared for their trauma.

Inktober, day 8. Everybody was so focused on Fat Bear Week last week, the owlbears are feeling a little forgotten.

Inktober, day 7 - magic mirror
