Mitakuye Oyasin : All My Relations.*

so ian recently showed me this photo site and it's filled to the brim with tons of relevant and beautiful work. i haven't even had a chance to fully explore each artist's work yet, but i especially love this body of work by Aaron Huey, titled "Mitakuye Oyasin: All My Relations," taken from his time spent on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. check it out, and check out the site at tinyvices.com>.*

Kime Buzzeli.*

i fell in love with kime buzzeli and her dreamy sceneries quite some years ago, and ian was sweet enough to get one for me a couple birthdays back. this is it in our bedroom. we are also the proud owners of the one below it. the rest are out there somewhere....check her out at the moldy doily. she's amazingly talented, and so very sweet when you hang out with her. the little cherry on top, of course, is that she is a fan of the cat stuff. she also has some super adorable cats of her own, whom she shares with her followers regularly on her site. the last image is her with a cat poster that he made and a pillow that i made.*

Village of Baby Creatures.*

this was the beginning of my love for making babies. at one posint. daniella, chris, and i were working on what was to be an incredible stop-motion film made solely by felties, but alas, he went away to calarts and it got put on hold. but i didn't stop....these are just a few of my fuzzy loves. i want to make an entire heaven of them, a village in the sky like a citadel. more soon....*

Portrait in Summer, 2010.*

ian took this beautiful picture of me on the res on the 5th of july, the day after the glorious celebration. i rather like it. no sleep, no makeup, no clothes, no problem.*

The High Priestess of Rock N' Roll.*

speaking of influential sorceresses, i just felt the need to pay homage to my favorite one in history, stevie herself. talk about a fashion icon! from her youth to her peak and even now, this woman was edgy, vampy, and still soft and classic somehow. i wish i had my own white owl familiar to perch upon my blessed hand....*
