My friend has the most fun outhouse wall! Buoys she has collected on the beaches. Love Alaskan honeypots- some fantastic design ideas! I just hang our buoy finds in our trees... I need to get more creative. #alaskalife#islandlife#interiordesign#boating
And so #Anchorage food weekend begins: Ordered a garlic chicken pizza from The Peanut Farm. Food options are limited this time of night, but the fine Peanut Farmers send food out the door until 10:30pm.
It’s a very fine late night greasy pizza, and bigger than expected. I know what I’m having for breakfast all weekend.
I added obligatory red pepper flakes & some truffle-parm shaker seasoning (didn’t see any plain parm in the pantry), and now I’m ready to fall asleep on the couch. #AlaskaLife
My loom sits quietly but my robe now has life breathed into it and is a part of a bigger tapestry- one of community, strength, and uplifting culture. Check out KTOO for videos and the Juneau City Museum to see Ravenstail Robes on display! #handmade#fiberarts#weaving#alaskalife#dancers#looms
Two days until the robe dances to life. Hard to imagine that yarn became this, and that my own hands wove it. Check out: Yéil Koowú at lilyhope.com or KTOO for more info on the ceremony. The event will be live streamed. #fiberarts#weaving#handmade#alaskalife#MastoArt#artwork
Lovely day for a commute on our Marine Highway! (Juneau here I come- time to drop off my truck for some much needed repair.)
I kinda love that I’m putting a truck on a ferry, sailing for 8hrs, dropping the truck off for service, flying home, and then reversing that whole journey in a week. Just to fix an old truck because I want to get up our mountain roads to go hiking. Though, I am bringing furniture back for a friend too. #alaskalife#alaskaferry#ferry
16 days until it has to come off the loom. Of course there is much much more after that- it will get fringe, fur, metal cones. But only 1/3 left to weave- but no time like the last minute! eek! #fibrearts#alaskalife#handmade#artwork#weaving
34 days to go. Half way finished! Working title, “Energy of the World” or “Energy of our Youth” (I do like the double meaning of the latter title). Being woven for my little niece, Bonnie. Welcome to the world little one! #alaskalife#handmade#weaving
Only 45 days until my child sized robe is danced in ‘The Gathering of Ravenstail Robes’ in Juneau, AK! (The enormity of this is starting to set in. This is not enough time. It has to be enough time.) I am proud to be a part of the reawakening this beautiful and complex artform. (Complex is an understatement. It’s mental gymnastics.) Working title for the robe: Energy of the World. #weaving#alaskalife#fiberarts#artwork#handmade
Love where I live. It’s not perfect, but I’m not either. So I’ll just keep on appreciating the 3pm sunsets and smell of frosty afternoons. #alaskalife#alaskan#mountainsunset
A very Alaskan moment: freaking out at the grocery and buying 10x more than planned because produce actually came in this week! #Alaska#alaskalife#produce
ok I was just doing errands on my bike and ended up behind this truck with a stuffed mastodon mounted on top. obviously I chased the driver down to ask for a pic. turns out she’d just found it on the side of the road and liked the way it looked strapped to her truck
