On infusion break until Dec, did a bit of art

Published on by Boneweaver (aka pjvj)Leave a comment

I decided to try to do some tiny art for the Tiny Art Show I’ve been participating in for a number of years now. All entries are on 5″x5″ canvases (provided by the event), all priced at $20 in the Tiny Art Show, profits go to the art scholarship to benefit local island students. Link to business that hosts the show: https://www.theswellartgallery.com/

Art is hard right now because my back was screaming after 15 minutes of sitting in the chair. I did many short sessions. My acrylics that have excellent unusual colours are down at the beach house. I thought I’d maybe brought them up north, but noooo, lol.

My body readjusting to no cancer treatments is harder than I imagined. Also, MCAS has ramped up. 🤷🏼

The Tiny Art, I only managed to do 3, but I like them.

“Starry is free from the storybook”, “Unintended Catch”, and “Life in the Abyssal Zone”.

Radiation sessions are done!

Published on by Boneweaver (aka pjvj)Leave a comment

My five radiation sessions are done. The fatigue is a little numbing in its extreme, but I’m pretty sure it’s going to improve much more quickly than last summer when so many other things were going on at the same time. Monday when we were getting ready to go for that session I looked out the window and saw two wee spotted fawns having lunch in the yard. One was eating from the wild raspberry bushes that grow in the wild spot in our backyard and the other was probably eating the mallow that has returned amongst the grass blades. It was such a lovely sight and I stood there and watched them for a while remembering why this is such a great yard for all the wildlife.

Sunday morning we had one youngish deer just sprawled out in the yard so relaxed that for a little bit I was worried she was dead. But then it wiggled its ears and move just a tiny bit. I was very happy when I returned home later that day and saw she had gotten up and left. When I saw the fawns in the yard next day I thought, “oh geez that was just mom being exhausted with two little ones!” LOL.

I’d toss a photo here, but I’ve been growing my habit of making memories with my eyes over always taking photos as I’ve posted plenty of deer and fawn photos over the years. 🙂

I find their words pure beauty, words in motion.

“Have you ever felt the Magic happen through you? Swoop through your muscles, and bring you to your knees, mouth full of saliva lit up from the inside with runes and incantations. Fates and Gods fusing with our tendons, singing through the neural pathways, and shaking the skins, sloughing them, shifting them, opening us up to older power, ancient power…”

From Elf, Moon in Libra tarot reading

Tarot layout: Moon in Libra reading

The topic of specialized readings came up on a Discord channel, so I made a layout for the full moon in Libra (that’s today, technically in about 5 hours; the next day and a half or so are still considered “full moon” for magical workings). 

9-card tarot reading layout
1. The Past: What you leave behind
2. The Burden: What you still carry
3. The Link: Connects your past to your future
4. Hope: What you aspire to
5. The Balance: Call on this to avoid being overwhelmed
6. Fate: What lies before you
7. Plans: Your intentions and motives
8. Influence: Other people and forces in your life
9. The Gift: What you receive today
