Snugglepig

Snugglepig

You never know which Pig you’ll get: the shark or the snuggler. This afternoon, Snugglepig took a nap on me. He’s ridiculously cute when he’s not being an asshole.

Snopocalypse

And still snowing...

Thirteen Inches of Snow

Snow

The total, measured on my patio, was just shy of 13 inches. We’re supposed to get another 2-3 inches tonight. Joy.

Baking

Making Pie

They’re forecasting a blizzard for tonight and tomorrow, so I’m baking. Pecan pie. It’s out of the oven and cooling right now. I’m trying to be patient, which is difficult because it smells really good.

Hark, An Art!

That underlying, hidden half
collage and altered poem in handmade book
3 3/4 x 5 1/2 inches

That underlying, hidden half
Like some grieving mocking-bird,
Alone in darkness
Now come home.

I made a new book a couple of nights ago and started working in it today. This time around I’m taking the text from a collection of Ella Wheeler Wilcox‘s godawful twee poems.

The Birds That Were Banished

December 21, 2012November 13, 2015 Shelly

The Birds That Were Banished
collage and altered poem in handmade book
3 3/4 x 5 1/2 inches

The birds that were banished,
Follow and vanish
In a seething vapor sea.

I need to take five minutes and scan these, but cell phone photos will have to do for now.

Dreams to Dreams

Dreams to Dreams
collage and altered poem in handmade book
3 3/4 x 5 1/2 inches

Dreams to dreams
Shorn of leaves
Drawing near the sun
Through and through
The shadows shoot
And stars drop,
One by one.
