So Here's Some Awful Pictures Of What I'm Working On In The Studio Right Now. I Need To Get Either A

So here's some awful pictures of what I'm working on in the studio right now. I need to get either a better camera or learn to take better pictures, or both.

I am going to be painting a lot more nudes from now on. I have a whole series of these.

So today was my first mushrooming trip of the season. It's a bit late in the year, and that was a bit obvious, so I think it will unfortunately be my last trip this season.

However, I did extremely well. I got two bags of hawk's wing mushrooms (sarcodon imbricatus), a local choice edible, two bags of porcinis (boletus edulis), an internationally-famous choice edible, and three huge bags of chantrelles (catharallus cibarius), which is also internationally known and my personal favorite. I have never gotten that many edible mushrooms in one go, and I am incredibly excited. To top it all off, I picked a bag full of tiny sub-alpine strawberries and raspberries.

I AM GOING TO MAKE SOME COOKERY. SO MUCH COOKERY.

(I am actually really careful about mushrooms; I've been doing this for at least a decade, and I never stick anything in my mouth that I'm not 100% sure about. Don't stick unfamiliar things in your face, and don't eat mushrooms if you don't know what you're doing.)

It seems like everyone on my dashboard is talking about the Abhorsen trilogy, so now I feel obligated to post a gratuitous picture of the fancy Abhorsen cosplay I did a couple of years ago. 

Rebloggin' this over from my Weirdo site, because it took longer than normal, and I am pleased.

OHHHHH IT’S A SNAKE

I don't have any idea why this makes me laugh so hard, but it does. Cackled like a witch, I did.
