Playing around with sketchbook paintings, digital brushes, gradient maps and fairy folklore last week. This week, however, is tax prep. But there has been hot cross buns from Harvey’s and glorious weather is on the horizon. So in the grand scheme of things, I’m not feeling quite so acrimonious towards the tax man as I might otherwise be inclined.

Other things:

The Sold A Story podcast was my latest binge listen.
I’m reading The Graves Are Walking at the moment. It’s a brutal, gut-wrenching read, yet hard to put down.
The Hinterland Dress is the latest thing to come off of my sewing machine. I’ll get some photos at a later point and a breakdown of the adjustments I made.
A nice mention for Mouseboat on WBUR / Boston Public Radio (scroll down for a list of book recomendations).
I visited the Museum of Russian Icons the weekend before last to see the Icons & Retablos exhibit and it’s splendid (the show runs through August 2023).
