Wait a minute, did I miss something? .... Like Sue Clancy's 'tell all' about her sock drawer? :-) I was looking forward to that!! As a kid my sock drawer was incredibly boring, BUT, my younger sister's sock drawer was full of the unexpected!!! Yesterday's bag lunch, Mom's old purses (that still had stuff in them!!), our brother's favorite marbles and Daniel Boone coonskin hat, and MY Seventeen magazines!!! It was a world of treasures! :-)

Back to your post... I can really relate to visually “pecking” at the letters on the eye chart! I like that drawing!!! Luckily I recently did a pretty good job with that, because I can see quite well with my new glasses! So glad the Scrub Jay stopped by for a visit and treat! Wishing your eyes all better, soon!!!!

Maybe someone has already commented about this, but you might want to check out Elisabeth Tova Bailey's utterly delightful book The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating. Charming, information and inspiring, I loved this little book!

Such a treat to read and explore this post, Sue. Your art and how it comes about is simply stunning. ‚Snaily croissanti‘ coffee delivery is the bestest 😍.

Oh thank you!!! The bird pan has raw sunflower seeds (unshelled), cracked corn and raw peanuts (unshelled)

The eyes are so important! Take care of yourself and your wonderful eyes!

May you, yourself find glasses that are perfect should you need them.

I am still fascinated by your technique and philosophy on collecting ideas. I have many photos of the things I admire from afar.

Thank you so much!! The eye doctor has me doing special drops and ice packs to get the allergy swelling under control - and yes, new eye glasses will be in my near future!! Till then I'm to try to rest my eyes etc...

Oh that's wonderful that you have many photos of things!!! Keep collecting and somehow putting them together with your thoughts, memories and feelings!!

I love photo essays of people's collections!! For example I really enjoyed "The Tshirts I Love" by Haruki Murakami?

Thanks Sue. A lot of times you really inspire me. Other times, you merely put a big ol' smile on my face.

Sue, did you do art for a blue-beary with a bear eating blue berries under a blue tree—or was I dreaming it? 😎💙🧸🐻🐻‍❄️

Sue Clancy's avatar

I think you might be in my head sharing the same dream because I've been working on a bear blueberry page for a few days… hadn't shared it anywhere online yet because I haven't gotten very far on my drawing yet. So you were channeling me or something… 😀😘💙💙🫶 (I can't attach a photo of my drawing to this comment so I'll tag you in Notes…)
