Week 17: Rivercake its a traveling day offering, the pre-color start of a new piece and a stream write. i hope your ride down the river is a fun dream, frosting cream and all. Rivercake: a cake floating down a river, candles lit, fluffy frosting spills over, some floats up into the air. So much
Week 16: Compass &Tassels This week i return to an earlier idea i explored about resistance. First a stream writing sparked from the red tassels in this week’s drawing.
