Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams

Here's a new ink piece I have to show you!
I like comforting "reminders": platitudes, sayings, aphorisms, etc...but instead of artfully spelling it out literally, I tend to interpret them in image form.

So, here is my comforting visual reminder to myself (and to you) for the day:

Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams    Drawing Ink on bristol board    
8"x10" (image area is approx. 6"x8")

The title comes from that old standard...the version I love is the Bing Crosby one (you can watch a funny little video of him performing it here). More and more often, I find myself listening to  music from the 20's and 30's more than music made in more recent times...like during my lifetime! Right now it's 30's music and the Cocteau Twins and that's pretty much it for me.

We had a really nice weekend around here. I planted ranunculus and raspberries, and pulled about 500 dandelions. Being out of commission for a few months really did a number on my usual getting-stuff-done rhythm. But I'm back into the swing of things, and making and baking, and generally getting to feel back to my usual self. I'm so glad!

This little drawing/painting will be part of the Spring update, which is almost ready (dolls need faces, framing needs to be finished). I'll be announcing the date + time for that soon!

Thanks for visiting + Happy Spring!
