three gray sisters

we make some harmonies
ALT: crayon and ink drawing, abstract sort of landscape. There are something like rolling hills in the background (blue, and purple striped) and maybe the edge of a lake in the foreground (blue-green). Growing up from the edge on the right side of the page are 5 tall skinny things (purple-brownish) like cattails or carrot roots. On the left side of the page, hanging down from the top are 4 things of similar shape but blue-greenish. The sky is orangish, like sunset. I don’t know where this came from, but I was just home from an absolutely lovely several hours of trading songs and stories with local friends at a pub sing and the after-sing gathering. Everything is somehow wound through with music.

nerve endings
ALT: ink and crayon drawing. Weaving and winding black lines, with some pale purples and greens filling in some of the spaces. One way you could look at it, you might see the end of a bone, with some nerve endings (or bare trees, or river tributaries) touching it and nearby. If you see something else, that’s also correct.

hello friend
ALT: crayon and ink drawing. Colorful abstract wax crayon background, with a black ink drawing on it. It depicts a cartooney bird with a big beak and round eye, wearing a heart shape on its breast. There is some scratchboard work for texture in the legs and feathers. I think the bird’s expression is both wary and hopeful.

guard what matters
ALT: crayon drawing, abstract. There’s a rather large egg shape in the lower right quadrant. maybe sitting in water, or blue shadow. A purple shape stands over or beside it; could be a bird (if so, pretty small relative to the egg), or a swirl of heavy smoke? Anyway, it’s all before a backdrop of blue and green, with a sort of shadowy tree thing in the distance, above the egg .

Labor Day – make a noise
ALT: crayon drawing. Three beings in front of a green hill, one is dancing, one is yelling and carrying a flag, one is holding a sign high. No realism in evidence. Everyone is purple and blue, and the middle one has big boots.

bag of shadows
ALT: big pinkish red bag on a gray-blue background. The bag, I imagine, is lit from within, and shadows are cast of scraggly foliage, a flying bird, something like a dragon head, and maybe a weird shaped log. Actually I went to see “Feral”, a puppet and actor theater thing by Sandglass Theater, and they did something very like this in their production, where a tent-shaped prop became a huge bell skirt for a masked actor, a stage for puppetry, and a screen for shadow work. Brilliant stuff.

the voice of experience
ALT: ink drawing. two sweet round little rodents have their backs to us, and face a BIG creature of the same ilk, who has three sharp teeth, crazed eyes and a manic expression. But cute ears. The littles are blue and green; the big one is purple.

hopeful harpy
ALT: crayon drawing, a bird-like person (or person-like bird) swoops in from the upper right corner of the page. Beak and bird-legs are yellow, feathers and hair are blue. Maybe they’re smiling?
