Living room ideas, unfinished thoughts & Saturday afternoon whimsy

Sonoma

Sora

He-Ya

Sora

I have been learning how to make instruments. One of the instruments I made was a rattle; created from bison hide and attached it to a stick from a Manitoba Maple. It speaks to me of the flow that comes from ice breaking in the spring. This is my rattle song.

Arachne

Sora

A response to the Greek myth of Arachne, a brilliant weaver who was challenged to a contest by a goddess. Arachne technically won the contest, however, fundamentally lost when she was turned into a spider as punishment for her insolence. A comment on the cost of brilliance.

Time

Sora

Inspired by the story of Aragorn and Arwen in an appendice of J. R. R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings"

"...But Arwen went forth from the House, and the light of her eyes was quenched, and it seemed to her people that she had become cold and grey as nightfall in winter that comes without a star. Then she said farewell to Eldarion, and to her

Inspired by the story of Aragorn and Arwen in an appendice of J. R. R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings"

"...But Arwen went forth from the House, and the light of her eyes was quenched, and it seemed to her people that she had become cold and grey as nightfall in winter that comes without a star. Then she said farewell to Eldarion, and to her daughters, and to all whom she had loved; and she went out from the city of Minas Tirith and passed away to the land of Lórien, and dwelt there alone under the fading trees until winter came. Galadriel had passed away and Celeborn also was gone, and the land was silent.

There at last when the mallorn-leaves were falling, but spring had not yet come, she laid herself to rest upon Cerin Amroth; and there is her green grave, until the world is changed, and all the days of her life are utterly forgotten by men that come after, and elanor and niphredil bloom no more east of the Sea.

Here ends this tale, as it has come to us from the South; and with the passing of Evenstar no more is said in this book of the days of old"
