This little guy was sitting next to my patio, eating grass like it was spaghetti. I am dead of cute!

This book is a little bit bigger than the bed of my scanner, so the left-hand page was cut off, making it look a little uncentered. I’m too lazy to scan each page separately then stitch them together. If I’d been paying closer attention, I would’ve shifted it so that the right-hand page was the one that got cut off, but I wasn’t, and I didn’t, and I am also too lazy to re-scan it. Oopsie!
And Every Eye Speaks Loathing and Disdain
And Every Eye Speaks Loathing and Disdain

Our promised joys are steeped in bitter pain;
And every eye speaks loathing and disdain.
Chickens are experts at disdainful, loathing looks. In fact, they may have invented the stink eye.
Cat Tail
I looked out the patio window and saw a tail sticking out from between the containers on my patio. One of the area strays decided it was a good place to lie in ambush for bunnies.
Span the Wide Chasm
Span the Wide Chasm
collage (altered Polaroid, 35mm photo, inkjet print, blueprint, child’s dress pattern, and page from history textbook) on Arches cover paper

Span the wide chasm, and by a single bound
We trace the life and almost hear the sound.
What echoes haunt thy resurrected walls!
When lurid night engulfed thy stately halls.
I really like the way this one turned out. I sat there for a couple of hours, looking at a pile of things I’d gathered together, and suddenly it all took shape.
Doodle
The lines in this are a little rougher around the edges than I like, but that’s pretty much unavoidable given the nature of the technique. I used a baby wipe to dampen the photo, then scraped away the emulsion. The photo has to be repeatedly re-wet, because it dries out quickly, and when it’s dry, it’s impossible to remove the emulsion without scuffing the paper, too.
The photo itself is of a painting at the art museum where I used to work. I don’t remember the artist or the title.
