search words and hand art.

so, back on june 1, a wednesday night, i drew this on my arm and hand.
just thought i'd randomly share it.

the day before, i'd gone to wildflower and talked with susan about the mural.
so...of course i was keeping my bird skills alive and going, and why not on my hand?

 i rather liked it on my hand. but i'm not sure what i would go for if i sprung for a tattoo . . .

not too bad, aye?
i was just reading one of my super old posts: hard work never hurt anyone.
we had salad with chicken, nuts, and this super-good thai peanut dressing.
we're obsessed with thai peanut stuff lately.
i tell you, i get addicted! there's cilantro and peanut butter and rice vinegar in this dressing. i'll have to get the recipe from anna and post it here soon:)
this is awesome, yes? vv

by the ink society.

now, i don't know about you, but i look on my site meter and see what people search and how they accidentally/on purpose land on my blog.
jenni's done it. she's written whole posts on the topic. it's hilarious. internet crazy.
so here are the ones from my account.

plus: someone from egypt searched the phrase:

ummm....
well at least for the most part the topics were normal things.
heh.

on the other hand, today i started a canvas . . . for a friend. :)
i love the feel of the brush in my hands, and if it's a good brush (not used by anyone who doesn't have the knowledge to handle it carefully, ahem, certain siblings), i love the strokes it makes with watered and strong paints alike.
onto white, or my chosen color. lovely contrasts and words and poetry.
a gift.
in many senses of the word.
i'm not taking too many pictures these days, which is a good thing i suppose, sometimes.
considering i was backing up photo folders the other day for hours, figuring out how to fit how many folders --or only one, on a crazy day like my birthday-- in a burned disc that only holds 696mb.
yeah, not that much room right there, considering i don't resize my photos anymore like i did with my little silver kodak easyshare.

i just found out that i've posted the peanut thai recipe twice.
oh well.
it's a good one. why not?
the reason is this: when i searched the recipe in my dashboard, with different key words, it never came up. :P
i have a thing for peanut sauce and sriracha...
thai peanut noodles.
someday i'll have to serve some of this stuff at my coffee shop. book shop. painting/art shop. food place!!! it's going to be love. and somehow it's going to happen......someday.
