Thank you, David Hockney, for the lines, the light and the colors. So many colors. Thanks most especially for the Queen’s Window at Westminster Abbey.
Rest in Peace, Good Sir.

My son, Charles, in Vietnam, doing his thing. Teaching English, learning Vietnamese, exploring and loving. I’m so very proud of him. ❤️

I’m suddenly - and without warning - obsessed with making these flowers. I’m on the hunt for looms and the crafting material, which was officially named Strawtex or Swistraw. I’ve also seen it called raffia, but it’s not really the same.
If you have looms (as pictured) and/or Strawtex lying around looking for something to do, please LMK. Happy to pay American dollars. Thanks! 🌸🌼
