Garret's out of town. Well, upstate (VT, that is. 'Upstate' used to mean I was in Brooklyn and he was in Albany or something). He's off meeting a new potential documentary subject, and then he's seeing our dear friend Evan afterwards. So, I'm on my own for the day (well, Murgy's with me). Days like this I tend to think I have *oh so much time* and then I end up using up all of it rather quickly. As in: can you believe it's 3pm already?
On a whim I started designing a new writing/design portfolio website for myself. Since I finally had an excuse to do so, I took to my favorite clip art resource, The Ink Nest, where I at long last purchased something I've been wanting for a while: the feather clip art bundle. I may have a terrible fear of birds (still. I know. I need to grow up.) but I've been really in love with feather art lately.
I wanted to use the feathers on their own but I also wanted to incorporate a dreamcatcher because I've also been in love with them, lately. My grandmother gave me one for Christmas last year, and I hung it in the window by my office. I know they're meant to hang where one sleeps, but enough dreaming goes on in my office, so it felt appropriate. I recently moved my desk to be right under that window, so now when I look up from my work to think, I'm looking through that dreamcatcher, out the window, to the woods. It's become a big part of my work life.
Anyway, I'm working on the site (and will be for a while), but I created this dreamcatcher as art for it, so I figured I'd share it.
