Hello all! Have created this space in order to post my growing portfolio of semi-scientific-to-outright-preposterous illustrations, as well as to document the occasional sewing project (and maybe a few other arbitrary projects, like the gourd banjo that I'm currently working on and plan to eventually learn to play). My illustrations tend towards the naturalist bent; my sewing tastes are currently loitering around the 1920's for the most part (and my writing is frequently parenthetical). I'm also adventuring into the (terrifying!) field of pattern-drafting, so ideally I may eventually be posting some free, functional patterns for less-than-functional fripperies (just now am assembling a pleated silk reticule made from flea market men's ties). I will try to be at least somewhat diligent about updating, so this won't just become another tumbleweeded ghost town of a blog, but I won't promise you anything on that score.
Things I will mostly or entirely avoid:
-Talking about my cat. She's a skulking, devious little thing that I love tremendously, but putting any more cats on the internet risks leveling them up, and I dare not even guess what that entails.
-Talking about cooking. There are a huge number of foodie blogs written by people much more knowledgeable than I am; will try to stay more focused and leave this in their highly capable hands.
-My opinions on pop culture, current events, societal ills and injustices, politics, and religion. I have them. Strong ones, in some cases. I just don't want to use this blog to foist them on all of you, so please do not take my silence on the current Huge Thing as an indication of my stance on it; I am likely ranting about it. Elsewhere.
-Life advice, love advice, people advice, inspirational quotes, etc.
-Personal information. My life stories, where I go, what I do, the people in my life. Would just rather not have that recorded for the ages and anyone and everyone with internet access. I enjoy my cloak of secrecy too much.
- Links to stores/merchandise, links to other blogs, memes, funny internet pictures or videos, etc. I'd like to keep this space fairly limited to my original work instead of something cool someone posted on facebook or reddit (or at least limited to things I actually see in person). I also don't even begin to want to deal with the headache of figuring out what is and what isn't copyrighted on the internet.
Of course, all of these rules may be seriously bent if pertinent to something I'm already posting about. So so much for that.
Things to brace for:
Ok, I lied a little. Since a number of my friends are artists and musicians, I do plan to use this blog occasionally as a shout out for their work. There should be quite a lot of variety; you might find something you like, you might not (and will try to give forewarning of any questionable content, for you impressionable types).
I make no claims of being a great photographer, and if you are one yourself, the photo quality of my postings may offend your sensibilities.
I make up words. Frequently. If English is not your first language, and you are using some kind of translating program, I apologize in advance for the confusion.
There will also likely be herds of wild semicolons.
One final thing: Constructive criticism is always welcome, purposeless negativity or personal attacks are not and will be deleted. Thank you for not posting them in the first place!
