I was away at my annual retreat for EarthSpirit Community’s Twilight Covening. This marks the completion of my 9th year of making daily drawings, which I started as a result of TC2009 clan work around daily practices.

This year I joined the Octopus clan for the weekend, to explore the stories of my life with hand-work in wood carving and decorating. Today’s sketch is a design I intend to apply to a bull-roarer (a sound-making device of ancient origin, in the shape of a propellor that you whirl on a cord).

I am grateful for the inspired and talented teachers and friends who have kept me going and nourished my creative life.
