Thank you Emily for sharing this with us. You made a beautiful home for Winnifred.

Rebecca, you made me realize that creativity always is an act of co-creation. Thank you. I have found myself saying things like: My camera prefers brighter days to shoot this. Or, this yarn is stuborn and bright, but if I combine it with a more stable one, it will truely shine. The beautiful part for me is that these relationships change and grow over time. It is an ongoing adventure.

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I have read some of Rebecca's posts over the last year and in the words of Emily "I am captivated by the way her words hold both sorrow and wonder, science and soul." Living on the islands of New Zealand there is a lot to relate to.

Thank you both of you! xx💙

Beautiful. Thank you both—you’re two of my favorite humans over here and continue to rewild and inspire me. And accepting a liquidity of vision is such a gorgeous expression, I will go throughout my day today holding this gently in my mind’s eye—“like writing, painting with watercolours is a conversation between creating and listening, a democracy rather than a dictatorship, a lesson in accepting a liquidity of vision, a lack of control.”
