― marcos

is there a thread for this? i've been having a great time

marcos, if you read this: i made 2 megaposts about my (very limited) painting experiences. i'd like to post them in a thread where we can all share out art experiences but not everyone is comfortable with sharing so it might be *crickets*

what else have i been into right now? to be honest, not much. i'm having trouble keeping it positive so far this month.

ursula k le guin - always coming home
stretching (not so much into it as i threw my back out again)

My garden, which is great but frustrating bc it's so early in the season and I want things to GROW. NOW.
