The last few days I’ve felt distracted and uninspired. My drawings have felt like doodles that a part of me is somewhat embarrassed to post. I am hereby reminding myself that the point of this whole exercise is not to demonstrate what a skilled and imaginative artist I am, but to spend some time every single day, playing with shapes and colors on a piece of paper, and going along with whatever comes of it.
I show it to you, my very lovely audience, as a way of encouraging you to do the same sort of thing with whatever you love in your life. No effort is wasted, if you’re paying attention.
Hearts &tc from me, Kate.

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.
