fooled around with the Inktense
and faces....didn't want to draw faces, but wanted to see what the Inktense could do with a face, and i like it a lot
but i wasn't "feeling" a cloth coming on...so just set some scraps. There is no intention with these, but they did break the restlessness, just cloth on cloth. I need this.
and just to clarify for Mo and Martine about the eye of the beholder.....
When i say weeds here, what i am pretty much referring to is Kochia. Some years also Pig Weed. Not so much this year. But Kochia for SURE. This is from inside the fence but will give a reference.... it's a 6ft fence, so those Kochia tops are 7 and 8 ft. Their stems at that point need to be cut with tree trimmers or an axe sometimes.
ADDENDUM.
I quit at the point above because the evening's Storm had arrived. Needing to turn off the computer.
I don't say anything anymore here about how the Planet is changing. There's no use.
Kochia is Opportunistic and can GROW with almost nothing to support it. But i have watched the steady Holding of the other natives and Kochia bows to them over time. Over time. Over time.
Just as i was finishing the first part above and Storm CAME, .....huge dump of Rain and then HAIL for many many minutes...just pea and marble size....but i listened to it clang and clash on this house, these windows, and thought...now's the time to begin living in homes made of sticks. In homes hollowed out in underbrush, homes of grasses. I thought of the lizards...how hail storms would be really meaningless for them...they live so close to the earth with the rocks for shelter. Birds in brush. Insects, close to the roots. This is how to live. These are the shelters to Imagine.
so...maybe that's the next Cloth?
