We wear boredom and routine like armor. At work in the shop, I inhabit the same chair, strum the same calculator, answer the same phone and field the same damn questions I’ve been dealing with for 20 years…. Read More

I’m thinking of making 2023 the year of red. I don’t use it very much and I don’t know why. Gonna change that. This was a great experiment from yesterday’s quarter square curvy workshop with @sherrilynnwood I started with cutting up an old denim shirt for the center and followed it outward, inviting the red in.
