horn of empty
ALT: crayon drawing, abstract. a green shape like a drinking horn or tornado rises from green and purple ground. grey sky and possibly a flame shape above. two wobbly stick figures (smaller than the horn) seem in conversation and investigation perhaps.
face it
ALT: crayon drawing. A person seems to be walking with or riding on a creature that could be a dog or a llama I suppose, with big pointy ears and wild round eyes. There’s a bare tree int he background, and the atmosphere looks stormy.
some house
ALT: colored pencil drawing. a house leans upward, very sketchily imagined, with some perhaps pathways and shrubberies around it.
what news
ALT: graphite, crayon, and collage. a figure stands, head bowed, with an absurd brimmed hat perched precariously upon it. a cloud of words (newsprint and imaginary writing) rimmed in orange, drifts by its midsection. a bare tree stands in the foreground.
the judge
ALT: crayon drawing. a purple cat outlined in black, sits with its paws close together, looking out at you in a very judgmental fashion. Blue curtains in the background, if that matters.
gather sweetness
ALT: crayon drawing. an insect is flying near an orange flower. There’s lots of green, unlike in the world outside my winter window.
i made a bark and everyone did jump
(I have a cough. I’m probably the one who jumps the most)
ALT: Crayon doodle. there’s a dog on its hind legs, eyes squinched shut, making a bark. An odd looking person standing next to it has fingers, toes and hair spiked out in alarm. there’s also a perturbed sort of bird overhead, with big round eyes.
sweetly singing oer the plain
I got to go to a very nice Christmas carol singing party, with 4-part harmonies and food and friends. None better.
ALT: crayon doodle, which purports to show angels singing, with purple wings and orange hats or halos, if you will. I was exhausted when I drew this, and didn’t spend more time on it than it took to make the marks. That probably shows.
love youuu
ALT: fast doodle, graphite. two cats under a lightbulb. one is leaning in for a lick, they other is backing away. Yes, my cats provided the inspiration. They were playing the lick lick bite bite game as I headed out to draw.
old chums / leaning in
In this year’s Welcome Yule! Mummers Play, we have two St. Georges and two dragons. Out with the old guard and in with the new, passing a tradition much older than both but re-invented with each generation.
ALT: crayon drawing. a purple dragon with big goofy eyes and a long snakey neck leans toward a blue knight who seems to be waving their sword almost conversationally as they tilt toward the dragon.
