I tried to finish my heart pendant last week, but I’m dissatisfied with it. I don’t like the chains I have for it, and I don’t like the form itself that much. I will finish it, since it’s most of the way done, but meh. Honestly, I don’t feel like making hearts right now; it doesn’t suit my mood, so I have nothing I want to show today. Instead, I’m going to continue posting my Ukrainian No War flag.
Just when it seemed like things were going to normalize post covid, we’re back to what feels like a very old normal. A normal I’d mostly forgotten having only briefly experienced it myself: the normal of the Cold War. In only 11 days, Russia is basically back behind an Iron Curtain via global economic sanctions and internal suppression of just about everything. What now?
I guess I’ll just make art. Few activities are as capable of elevating humanity and bringing light in dark times.
I bought a big sheet of copper to sculpt for an idea I recently had. Might even patina it.
