Spontaneity

Planning and making lists, sketches, and so forth is usually useful, but sometimes it’s invigorating—and even daring—to just dig in. Today I want to drop off an early-morning note to a neighborhood friend who’s in the midst of cancer treatment. Jeannie has seen all of my cards—some more than once. “What can I do?” I wondered. My answer was to dive into my stash of scraps, pull out something, and work with it—quickly. The dogs and I will drop this off when we head out for our morning walk.

Fun with butterflies and milkweed leaves

Last year at the Monarch Festival, when volunteers and I guided guests to print common milkweed leaves in honor of Monarch butterflies, the temperature reached 94 degrees. This year the high temperature is expected to reach 74 along with light winds. Nevertheless, along with 350 sheets of paper and plenty of Akua ink, rocks are packed to hold down our piles of paper. I look forward to seeing you amidst the butterflies as you print a common milkweed leaf near the east shore of Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis, MN.
