self portrait tuesday: enclosed spaces

me stuck inside the zoltan machine. yes, maybe this is a stretch, but i love how these pictures came out, and in my mind, it fits in perfectly with the theme.


if i owe you a call or an email or a package or a kiss or a hug, it's coming. i've been in the forest with lots of nymph-like children, hunting for mushrooms and lichen and throwing rocks in soy-sauce-like bodies of water. trying to reset myself and get ready for upcoming employment. plowing through stacks of formalities, paperwork, preparations. trying to nap. trying to center myself. trying not to drown myself in coffee. planning another huge party (details forthcoming). crafts and edible treats are dancing in my head. did i mention i have arthritis? i have freakin' arthritis! i'm in denial about this as i'm going to be an employed mama in less than a week, an occupation that i will be successful at only if i have the power of my hands. denial. denial. refocus. positive energy.

also, if you have time, go stop by femiknit mafia's site and see my kick-ass present that i can't wait to get my hands on! thank you in advance for such rockstaredness. meow!

When do you start your job? I wish I could be your first customer I'm in dire need of a massage. Did you ever get my email about next July? Check it out when you get a chance, ha ha!!

I think these photos are way cool, especially the second one where it's hard to tell where Zoltan ends and you begin.

Heather said...

Running around in the forest sounds like fun. I hope you get some treatment for your artritis. That sucks!!
