post


I've actually had both a computer and internet access for a while now but was feeling intimidated about blogging again after being away for so long. It's even more ridiculous than that though, I kept running across fabulous things and thinking I can't wait to post this on the blog, then I didn't. Okay then, enough wallowing.

I inherited quite a few old postcards but I still get weak a few times a year and comb through what's in the stalls at the flea markets looking for ones with ruins or any sort of Gothic bits. Then I look for an(other) old suitcase to carry them in.

This piece is one of a series that I'm working on that was inspired by some of my favourite postcards. So far I'm just doing small pieces, which is good because I haven't re-organised the studio in a while and space is getting limited.

So, back to work. Wouldn't want to write too much on my first day back or anything.

@inkish: I am so much not a writer that there is very little that does tempts me to write on it ;-) besides they are usually covered with tiny messages, sometimes front and back.

@kat: thanks! I was a bit unsure about it when I began, it's not as spare as the two that precede it in the series.

i have an odd relationship with blogging, too. sometimes i go gangbusters and post all my work and process, and then it starts to feel all too... i don't know, self indulgent maybe. or too exposed. anyway, i get self-conscious about it and so i stop for awhile. sometimes a long while. but i can definitely say it's good to see you back and writing/posting about your process and work :)

Thank you!
I love reading other people's blogs and want to contribute to the community but I tend to feel self-conscious and wonder whether I can post something worth the time to read it.
Some bloggers have such a fantastic balance of images and text, reveal enough to be intriguing without being TMI, and find such interesting things to share.
Thanks for linking to your tea blog, a friend of mine from Japan was a tea-taster. It seems such a sensitive and subtle profession.
