Today wasn’t so great. I had been thinking all day of what to do for my photo, and then the day just slid away from me. Today was a bad day for parking lots – I slipped and fell down on ice earlier in the afternoon and dislocated my knee (I have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which means it’s very easy to do, but man, it doesn’t get less painful, especially if you have spare parts in there) and then later in the evening I got into a bit of a fender-bender with an idiot who doesn’t know how to drive his truck (and then he ran away, but not before I jotted down his license plate number).
So my ideas for making some art this evening… meh. There will be art tomorrow.
My knee will be okay (it’s started to bruise slightly but hey! it’s not green, so that’s something.) and my car will be okay and there will be more artistic ideas.
In other news, I am very excited that people have been receptive to my woodworking. Yey! Thank you all. I have been working on some new designs and I want to ask you – what would you like to see?


I’m sorry you had such a bad day. I hope you have a better day today and that your knee heals quickly.
Woodworking designs:
1. More Kanji! with different wood stains (maybe light stain paired with black etching, dark stain paired with unstained/painted etching, red stain paired with black etching).
2. Maybe some scenes (nothing too detailed) depicting landscapes and trees, and use watercolors, of course.
3. Ocean waves, art nouveau, tree branches, flowers bouquets, Western/Eastern dragons, Chinese New Year symbols, initials for personalization (custom order, of course; great for bridal gifts).
