My Art

Lost Studio

I haven’t been painting much lately and it doesn’t feel good. For the six years that we have lived in this house, the basement (really the ground floor) has been a huge mess. Part workshop, part gym, part storage – all mess. It has taken all that time and multiple attempts to finally turn it…

Worshiping at the Alter of Mending

I’m being wildly dramatic with the title, I know, but the pun potential of “worshiping at the altar” and “alter” as in clothing, could not be resisted! While the tide on this surge of creation is receding, I am still interested in mending and altering my clothing, the least of which because I am bothered…

Making, Mending, and Misadventures

One of my lifelong skills, instilled within me by my mother, who lived in the Soviet Union for a vast portion of her life, has been mending. I have never been great at it, but I knew how to do a couple different stitches and how to sew on a button. In the past couple…

Collage as Curation

I have been aware of collage as a medium for a few years now, ever since I followed a then-grad student on tumblr who mentioned that she occasionally did collage. This was the time that I first heard of Mod-Podge. Not too long after that I acquired my own jar of Mod-Podge and then it…

On Being Unteachable

I often feel as though I am unteachable when it comes to art. I am often so impatient that I just want to start doing the thing and make mistakes (that were entirely avoidable) but at least I’d be doing something! I can figure out or research how to fix those mistakes in the future,…

(somewhat) zero to game dev, part i

I am currently looking for a new job since my previous position was no longer working out, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t stressed and scared about it. I am the sole financial supporter of my family of four so the stakes are high. What the job search is teaching me is…

Springing into Gardening!

Here in the northern hemisphere it is finally spring! The birds are singing and all the plants are coming back to life. Which naturally means it’s time for my gardening interest to wake up as well. Last year I really threw myself into the effort, putting in a lot of work into trying to make…

Coming out of Hibernation

So it’s probably been clear from my radio silence that I’ve been experiencing some burnout. Part of the reason I wanted to do this blog in the first place was to record all my efforts at doing stuff because I have cycles that I go through, namely: get really passionate about something -> focus all…

Sure, let’s add music in there

So when I was eight years old I got my first guitar as a Christmas present. It was a 3/4 size acoustic and to this day it resides in my parents’ house. The following year I got a cherry red electric guitar because I had insisted that that was actually what I needed. I even…

Buttercream, buttercream, and buttercream

I have had two baking adventures since I’ve last written about it and instead of writing up two separate posts, I figured I’d just condense the two into one post. The recent upswing in baking activity was mostly inspired by The Great British Baking Show. After we were completely out of Sugar Rush episodes to…
