Yesterday my mood plunged so low I got an emergency appointment with my doctor. He recommended an unusual treatment. Today was the first day I took it. I slept all morning except getting up briefly for lectio divina with my friend Y. Then I just drifted away. But then, around half past noon, I woke … Continue reading New Med
My Guilty Confession
I did it. I don't know if I'll keep it, but I got one. I've been trying to build a Youtube to ultimately support my dog rescue dreams. However, I only seem to want to make short form content, which does not suit YouTube. Getting back on Instagram was a no thank you, and you … Continue reading My Guilty Confession
Screw Polaroid
My Instax square film is getting harder to get and instax square cameras are getting harder to buy because Polaroid is litigious, and evidently thinks they own the square format. News flash. Suck it. You don't own the 1:1 aspect ratio. The essential issue is that polaroid makes an inferior film. So they have to … Continue reading Screw Polaroid
I Wouldn’t Monetize Being a Trad Wife
I used to be in the tradwife space on Instagram, but now I am working on short videos about my life as a Catholic with a creative calling. (I am seeking the best platform for what I make). On one hand I hate doing it because the truth is, I don't love being on camera, … Continue reading I Wouldn’t Monetize Being a Trad Wife

A Down Day
Today I attended a mom's meetup. It was fun, especially as it called for bringing some of my gorgeous sticker collection. But I left early and didn't feel good the rest of the day. I slept half the afternoon. Now I'm watching The Ritual with my family. I feel like hiding.

I'm part way through 3 books right now. This one is exciting because while I have read some old chinese poetry in school years ago, I have not read that much contemporary Chinese poetry. Of course, to be fair, American schools don't teach American contemporary poetry, either. But I am finding poets with provocative images … Continue reading Currently Reading
A New Art Process
Just a little mixed media photomontage I came up with this morning.
Quick Update
Today I got to talk to my mom on FaceTime, which was lovely. But my mood sank as soon as I got off the line. Today I didn't get much done. I worked on a soft pastel painting, but it was strange. My arms got so tired I had to lay down...from soft pastel painting. … Continue reading Quick Update
To Replace Instagram
I will be blogging a lot of my art at curvyrainbows.wordpress.com I still want a place to record my creative life. I just need to spend time away from Instagram. Meta is soul sucking. Today I have cleaning and laundry to do, and I need to figure out dinner. I'm thinking lemon chicken pesto pasta. … Continue reading To Replace Instagram
