spring equinox
greetings and gratitude from the
printing in the studio with Willow using fruit & veg
a shrine to Imbolc:
ritual & ceremony marking the times. . . .
return to an old friend
* celebrating the delights of snailmail *
heart token from Meg
handmade gifts, such a delight to receive
mandala crochet from Mandy
mandala card from Willow
all received with appreciation & gratitude
intention for daily practice: to make something by hand each day,
however small. . . . .almost daily DROODLES (drawing meets doodle)
….following on from International Women’s Day,
a tv programme I really appreciated:
100 Vaginas
(channel 4 catch up)
though 100 vulvas may be a more accurate description
I was reminded too of women in the arts that I admire. . . .
