#Tolkientober day 17: parents

“And at times, when Eärendil returning drew near again to Arda, [Elwing] would fly to meet him, even as she had flown long ago, when she was rescued from the sea, […] like a white bird, […] as she soared in joy to greet the coming of Vingilot to haven.”

A watercolor painting of a white bird in the lower left flying towards and pale golden eight pointed star in the upper right. Some of the star’s light reflects on the wings and head of the bird. She is flying out of darkness in the blue glow of the star

Happy [belated] National Fossil Day! Before CT scanning and photogrammetry, fossil were hand drawn like this series of traditional carbon dust illustrations. I miss those days.

Riff Raffers have finished their first group project zine! Swing by and grab a copy, or download the PDF to print your own!

Some of the zines folks made at our F the Fourth event are also now available for download! www.pushpullseattle.com/riffraff.html

Pile of folded zines printed on white and bright pink paper. The cover of the zine reads "Beginner's Guide to Attending Protests & Rallies" and shows a person holding up a sign that says "We Want Change!"

Do you have old piles of 12x12 scrapbooking paper around you're never gonna use? Bring them in for us to use and upcycle!

Do you have some old paper pads you're almost done with? We'd love to have the hard backing board from them!

Just bring them in & let us know we can use them. Thank you!!

From an interview by @austinkleon.bsky.social with @katebingburt.bsky.social

Scan of a bright green sheet of paper. At the top, typewritten: "Do you have any advice for people who want to be more creative?" Following a dashed divider line, handwritten: "Yes! Lower the stakes. Make it small, not precious, and do it often. So many people get stuck on "what should I make?" or "what's the point?" but the point is that you made something! You are moving! Are you noticing! You are here! I've kept a daily drawing practice for almost 20 years now and it is a simple and small habit that is repeatable and doable. The practice makes the space. You don't have to feel creative to be creative. Just show up and keep moving you (sic) fave pen or pencil or combo of both!"

I had a blast last weekend at ReClaim Clay Collective teaching Riso Tarot Collage! Everyone was so creative, willing to experiment. Didn't their work come out great?
