Loved this! I totally loved thrifting all kinds of things. Sadly I rarely find my size but sometimes I am lucky!

I've been listening to Amie's book and found it super profound and healing!! Did you see her Ted Talk? Ugh I just love being an artist, it's my favorite thing!

I was just sitting outside, Volta, finishing up the book with a huge sense of relief and joy. I will be keeping this one close. Healing is a great word. I have not seen her Ted Talk yet but I will add it to my queue, that will be perfect to listen to when sketching one night. Thank you!

What a great quote from We Need Your Art. I was just in a gathering of artists where we talked about how important it is to reflect on our creative process and work, to sit with it and listen to the dialogue between ourselves and our art. I love being an artist, too.

And total score on the thrift sweaters!! How fun!
