Home to Snoqualmie Falls - ONE WAY!

Approx 3 miles away from the falls, popped a rear spoke. Rode up to the top. Cabbed (ugh) home.

Huge bummer. First time out there and felt really good. Climbing wasn't bad at all. Really wanted to return trip home, but just did not feel safe descending the climb missing a rear spoke.

I'll tackle it again next week.

Rest in Peace Villian

Kitty cancer has taken my boy from me. Gonna miss you much. Thank you. I love you. I'll see you later.


























Please let me know I did the right thing

Test post with the extremely bright orange Blogger app. Sure hope they give us the option of changing the damn color.

How big is this book? Bigger than a big kitty!

In progress. Worked on verdaccio and now glazing and coloring.

The gesso is so smooth!

All the efforts of making traditional rabbit skin gesso is proving to be well worth it. So smooth. The absorbency and translucency surpass acrylic primer/gesso.
