meccahi | Coastal Funk - Photo Montage of DOOM

My past few weeks have just been a blur of one activity after another.. I'm trying to get up the gumption to put words to everything...Faerieworlds, Portland, Mt. Rainier ( that I FINALLY dragged Kristi to!), seeing old friends, the Redwoods, Eugene ... seeing more old friends ( hellos

nyghtowll .. meeting friends randomly that I've only ever spoken to on LJ ( Hi

whisperfae !), .. Staying in Eureka.. meeting new people... staying in El Centro (again)..

Seriously. A blur. One giant whirlwind of motion and color and sound and experiences. And now I'm doing what I can to catch up on stock..plus exploring old hobbies.. and refining my meager talents as a break from said stock making.

For now..all I have are the pictures.. I'll put most under a cut because there are quite a few.. but I hope they are worth your moments, because they filled mine. I loved every second of them.

So these are in no particular order of occurrence... I'm going with ultimate random..

A sunlit glade in the Humboldt Redwoods..

This is my sneaky way of luring you in to see more.. This lovely gentleman was kind enough to strip completely nekked in my booth to try on the scale mail mantle and skirt.

My life is so rough isn't it?

These are my lovely friends Elim and Shelly ( [info]nyghtowll ). They are adorable, and wonderful.. so good to see them again while in Eugene.

This is a Marmot ( Kristi and I encountered him on Mt. Rainier... he was quite bold).

I call this one "The Old King of the Home"... this is a house in Eugene, Oregon, right next to my favoritest patisserie in all the world "Sweet Life". Seriously amazing sweetness. This home however... was fenced in and boarded up...and this old gent looked like he just owned the place with his mere presence.

This was also taken outside of "Sweet Life"..... or more precisely...above it.

These next few were in the Redwoods. I played and romped there for hours upon hours. Just me, and the forest. It's always my renewing time when I'm there. Where I , no matter WHAT is going on in my world, feel completely whole, and at peace with everything.

Going Native ( forest wise that is)...

A study of moss..

A shot of the ever exciting life of a flower ( ok maybe not that exciting)..

So these last couple...

I used to sketch ALL the time when I was little. My absolute obsession? Unicorns. OBSESSED. Recently on Facebook a couple of grade school friends reminded me of this and then pleaded that I draw them a unicorn for old times sake.. so I bought a sketchpad for the first time in years and drew one up for them...

This is my totally cheesy stereotypical Unicorn..

And then I promptly remembered how much I loved sketching... and started on a new drawing...

This is my tree lady... she's been kind of hanging around in my brain for a few years, and now was as good a time as any for her to start her coming out party.. She's about a quarter to halfway finished.
