summertime's a comin'!

baby fig!

I propagated a fig tree on the last weekend of my Permaculture Design Course, and it is doing so well. It has one tiny leaf now!

it's been a long time!

I have not posted on this for far too long! It has been a busy couple of months. Tomorrow will mark the end of a Permaculture Design Course I have been taking, and I have been busy gearing up for another season with C'ville Foodscapes. I have also been filling out applications and making plans. We will see what happens.

I did a little art show with Thomas Dean at The Shuckster (my house's dining room), and it opened yesterday. I printed some wallpaper and made a new print that I am pretty excited about. It is a combination letterpress screenprint! Check out more pictures of the installation here.

getting ready for next month!

Bake 'n Bike is coming up soon!

apple butter!

I finally finished making the screenprints for this year's batch of apple butter. The neon colors were inspired by a Leif Goldberg print that I have. The prints are actually only 3 transparent colors -- blue, yellow, and pink -- but my overlapping them, I was able to make orange, purple, green, and a brown-ish color. I am pretty stoked about the finished product!

canning done!

I have finished canning all of the apple butter!  There are 54 half-pint jars and 2 pints.  Now I have to finish the prints for the lids!

charlottesville represent!

A couple of days ago James McNew played in NYC with Asuna, and there was a little bit of Charlottesville decorating the merch table. (Victoria's power diamond and a very little cosmic quilt painting by yours truly!)
