I've got one-third of the twelve designed now, and it's a third of the way through the Kickstarter campaign to fund the printing of the calendars. If you want to learn more, or get one of your own, read more at Kickstarter!
Everyone seems to be out of sorts, or in a state of transition lately. Well, that’ s nothing new— life is flux. No, what I mean is that a number of people I know have been struggling with big question marks, consciously or not. It’s been coming out gradually, as the summer wanes.

Another sigil has been designed. This one is based on my adorable little pond comet, Wink. He's got a ball gown of a tail, and is a slender little ballerina of a fish.

I am only a little bit sorry to report that this design, like many, is more beautiful than it is useful. It shall remain a… Continue reading Cherry-pitting machine
