I was scrolling through old drawings. Found this one from 2019. Not that bad, actually.

"Gettin' a Hand on the Future", i guess? machine pieced the diamonds and machine applique'd the hand, but the flower itself is done by hand. also hand quilted! the brown diamonds were naturally dyed using cutch and madder, and there are a few other naturally dyed fabrics in the rest of the patchwork. the backing (not photographed) was dyed with goldenrod!

Prints of this drawing will be available at the link in my bio. All proceeds from my shop are donated to The Palestine Children’s Relief Fund and The Immigrant Defense Project.

Sometimes I forget the bay’s like, the ocean. Anyways whales are cool and ferries do their best to avoid them

But give me wings like Noah’s dove / I’d fly up harbour to the boy I love / It’s one more day on the Grey Funnel Line!

unfortunately in the 1400s the sedition-heresy double whammy of ridiculing the crown’s wars against the moors was not the safest bet on the board, especially for jewish writers and new christian writers of jewish descent (the latter demographic being especially known to vocally support the war effort as an ultimately unsuccessful gambit to direct inquisitorial attention away from themselves). luckily for jerónimo de seinfeld, the inquisition would not ban anonymous publication until 1559, so if he’s feeling good about this comedy set he can still choose to circulate the manuscript without his name attached

Throwback to florals to try to create some inspo 🫠🫠
