Hi all,
It’s been a minute. And yes, while it seems that I’ve fallen off the face, I have and have not. Since Open Studios I’ve been consumed with both excellent creative flow, an intense curiosity for things related to my Magical Herbalism class, and also commissions. I really like making things I really like for other people.
I can’t promise I’ll get back to regular newsletters for another month or so--I only want to send good, cohesive STUFF, ya know? And lately anything on a screen doesn’t hold my focus, and things in books are too cumbersome to translate. Also: life, travel, motherhood, and prioritizing hands work.
Thanks for hanging in there, I hope you and yours are exceedingly well.
xo, avw

Art sale update.
Turns out figuring out how to post and then sell things without a buncha fuss is kinda complicated. I could go the Instagram Stories route, but that doesn't seem fair to people that aren't on it. So I'm thinking when I get a chance in the next few months, I'll host it on my website and give ya'll first dibs. Thanks for your patience.
Speaking of my website, I just did some dusting off and updating and revisited my Dic-A-Day series. I pulled random words from an online dictionary and illustrated them. I am so fond of this project, and so very proud. One day I hope to feel called to continue.

If you're creative, or shoot, just a human trying to live, get yourself some of the sensible and far-reaching wisdom of Yumi Sakugawa. She's so sage, and is really amazing at framing things in how you relate to other people, to yourself, to creation.
