light em up up up, I'm on fire

It’s hard to find shoes that fit when you have thirteen toes: six on the left, seven on the right. Cinderella’s stepsisters had it good compared to me. They cut off their heels and toes to get a prince; to move up in the world. I had to cut off three toes to comfortably move.

It's lucky to give the G-Man a story today.

Flash 55 - Where Do We Go From Here?

She drew in her sword, scraping the wooden floor.

The sirens were getting louder.

I led her around the bloody body and up to the roof.

Her damaged wings healed as she unfurled them and lifted her into the night sky. She glanced back, tears in her eyes as she disappeared into the clouds. Angels...

Time to play with the G-Man folks.

Celtic Compass Rose

My son-in-law gave me this wonderful book of handmade paper watercolors. 

He's an artist, too. 

You can see his work at Art From the Crow's Nest.

I didn't do anything in it yet for fear of sullying the pages. 

[I have major perfection issues regarding paper.]

Today, I took the plunge, and did this sun design in INK!

I think it will be the next addition to my desk, oriented to the North, of course.

It has a Celtic Wheel in the center and lots of Celtic swirls.

You can see the painting "drink the wild wind" HERE that is on the top corner of my desk. 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

dragon design for part of the "Cornered" project (c) vanessa v kilmer 20130117

it’s not too much to ask for a patron of the arts

to cater to my every need and want; 

perhaps the fates could grant my wish

and let me hit it big at the lottery; 

i could become a drunken writer

and spend my minutes, hours, days, 

pouring over this locution or that lexeme

Play with the G-Man and make him smile.

I am still alive.

I thought I'd be back before now but 

all of my best laid plans are apparently just suggestions.

I hope to be catching up with everyone soon.

Happy Birthday To Me!

I am nifty.

Happy Birthday, QV

My husband, known here and at various drinking establishments as Quiet Vinnie (QV), has a Birthday today. Can you tell how old he is?

Christmas Cards 2007

Here is this year's Christmas card design. It looks better in person (it didn't scan well because the papers are so thick.) Water color, ink, watercolor board and heavy card stock. It looks very old fashioned. You can see last year’s card HERE. I still haven't scanned the cards from previous years but I have found them (but still not my calendar.)

Merry Turkey Holiday

Juglans

There once was a wacky black walnut.
To avoid a tree rat’s gullet,
he hardened his shell,
rolling away where he fell;
traveling faster than a speeding bullet.
