feb '24 favorites
Small things that made my February just a little bit better.
creating
I found a big tub of Liquitex Modeling Paste hidden beneath a stack of old books and immediately began scraping it over every substrate I could find. The texture can be dramatic or subtle depending on your preference.
reading
If you are looking for a fast-paced, intriguing book I just finished The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave. I would call it a page-turner except that I listened to it on audio. That’s still considered reading, right?
“The mind, once stretched by a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions.”
inspiring
This short video offers a glimpse into the life of the winter caretaker of Yellowstone. Beautiful and fascinating.
eating

“A recipe is a story that ends with a good meal.”

“What makes it art is that the person who made it overcame the resistance, ignored the voice of doubt, and made something worth making. Something risky. Something human. Art is not in the eye of the beholder but in the soul of the artist.”
I’m curious, what’s on your list of favorites?
