Summer vibes for Arcanine

going through my ooooollld text posts from like 2012-2015 and yeah bitch you made it.

I didn’t think I would be around after arbitrary years: 18, 25, 30 but here I am. I always wanted to just stop existing.

Wish I could give past me a shake and say yes it is going to suck but you’ll make it. You will still be doing art, and later be a designer professionally. You will get a degree. You will learn to drive. You will travel solo and meet some amazing people and end up in a totally unexpected fwb situation with one (right now). You will meet some amazing new friends and still be friends with your ride or die friend from high school. You will learn to explore lots of hobbies and fall back in love with reading again. You will have to learn how to live with Crohn’s but after time it goes into remission.

It might not be on ‘schedule’ but you will.

We need more walkable cities. I am so tired of my transportation turning to aquatic life. It’s so inconvenient.

Teeny tiny pineapple block quilts by artist Amy Pabst

Here's some with my hand to give you an idea of scale on each block:

I did get to chat a little with Amy while she was in her gallery zone. She said she works often with silks, including reclaimed ones, and she finger presses her work rather than using an iron. The pastel rainbow piece above is called Soft Pride, measures 41cm x 41cm, has 11,925 pieces, and took her about 4 weeks to make. She does not use a magnifying glass while she works, relying purely on her eyesight, but she does make sure to take regular eye rest breaks every 10-20 minutes.

Sharp Dressed Man; 33cm x 33cm, 5,700 pieces.
