Some small things that happened recently, other than the llamas’ shearing:
1. I traded a bottle of my freshly-made elderflower syrup (and some plum chutney from last summer) for a jar of wild peach jam and some homemade pâté, and the chickens went WILD over the latter. I gave them a tiny bit for a taste and then had to retreat to the kitchen to eat the rest because they kept jumping up and down trying to steal it

2. I told the librarian a while ago that I was hoping to rehabilitate the former little pond in my pasture and she came over with her husband and daughter to give me a pond liner they had in their garage (they wanted to create a pond in their garden and procrastinated for 15 years basically.) A very nice gift!! But the highlight of their visit was when we went to the pasture to say hello to the baby llamas, and Pampelune fell in love with the librarian’s daughter. I’d never seen her like this! she just kept staring adoringly and asking for neck scritches and whispering sweet llama things in her ear.

I replied to an ask the other day saying llamas aren’t really animals that enjoy being cuddled, but I guess I’d just never seen a llama with a crush.
3. My little vegetable patch is happy with this warm spring; the 2-year-old strawberry plants are going strong, and I’ve also got tomato flowers and male & female courgette flowers, so all is going according to plan.

My one young raspberry plant valiantly produced two raspberries, which reminded me that I meant to plant more of them. I went to the agricultural store, and told them in passing that the persimmon sapling I bought from them last autumn is looking rather dead, and they gave me a few apology raspberry plants for free. I went home and discovered that the persimmon is actually making one very tiny bud! Now I feel like a con artist :( But look at this shy little thing (on the right), it’s so discreet...

4. At the agri store I was invited to enter a raffle to win a 100-year-old olive tree. After filling up the little form with my name and phone number I was granted permission to take a second slip of paper and enter Pandolf’s name and phone number (I buy his kibble there so he is a valued customer). I hope he wins.
5. The sheep that are supposed to trim the grass around the store were napping in the shade, not a single one of them was working. I did not report them, because a sheep union representative came to touch my hand with its nose softly.

6. I also bought (half of) a former wine barrel to use it as an additional trough for the animals—I wanted one near my house so I wouldn’t have to trek across half the pasture on winter mornings to go break the ice, and there are two rivulets there that made the ground muddy, so it was better to dig some channels and add some pipes and have them flow into something. Digging a hole for the barrel was as exhausting a task as ever (so many huge rocks!), I’m glad I’m done with the New Trough project. I also had to rinse the barrel and air it out for a few days because it very much smelled of bordeaux wine, but here it is now, using its transferrable skills to start a second career:

I love hearing this new & very soft trickling water noise when I sit outside my house!
7. Pandolf, on our way home from the agri store, enjoyed the wind in his mane. (That’s it that the last piece of news.)

Plant Machete by David Bowen 
This installation enables a live plant to control a machete. plant machete has a control system that reads and utilizes the electrical noises found in a live philodendron. The system uses an open source micro-controller connected to the plant to read varying resistance signals across the plant’s leaves. Using custom software, these signals are mapped in real-time to the movements of the joints of the industrial robot holding a machete. In this way, the movements of the machete are determined based on input from the plant. Essentially the plant is the brain of the robot controlling the machete determining how it swings, jabs, slices and interacts in space.

I just placed that TV kabinet (it's an old Underwood typewriter transport box, USA to Antwerp) so naturally it's being inspected by the local safety team. Good thing Marcel was looking into the camera or you wouldn't be able to tell he was even there lmao

You know, when DeviantART announced its collaboration with AI image generation companies, that was the last straw for me. I personally spent hours manually toggling "opt out" for every single drawing I had ever made over the course of a decade, then set them to private to purge my account. I have not touched it since and do not intend to do so ever again.
I was planning to post my webcomic to Tumblr -- hell, maybe I'd even throw a few dollars towards Blaze to get the word out -- but if this is the way this site is going to go, I'm 1000000% going to take my business elsewhere and swap out Tumblr for someplace more trustworthy. Not even gonna risk it.

the spaces in between
What is a home? How do we make a home? What makes a home?
Growing up, I associated the concept of “home” with people instead of a physical space. I have been raised by multiple families, each with different cultures, expectations, and beliefs. Through my installation, I wanted to create a sense of unity, warmth, and love in my experiences of inconsistency and confusion. My great-grandmothers, grandparents, biological parents, and step-family raised me to be who I am today. However, with a blended family came the complications of not understanding who I was or wanted to be; I tried to fit in and be easy-going.
To make this emotionally charged space, I dug through my childhood memories and decided to unite my family's differences through their love of gardening. The choice of materials was intentional; the pallets, types of plants, mulch, and blankets were all symbolic of the families that raised me. For example, the pallets I used are indicative of some of the DIY projects my family and I worked on. They are a reflection of my family as immigrants. I tied all the pallets together using twine to communicate a sense of urgency to create the “walls of my home.” Still, it was all secured with screws and zip ties to amplify having strong familial relations and support. This installation is interactive, and I welcome viewers to enjoy the shade my great-grandmother's blanket provides, the various plants from other family members, and the smell of fresh mulch.

Repotted new children. I’ve never tried my hand with poinsettias, but at $5, I couldn’t resist. They’re delightfully Victorian. The variegated maranta was just something I’ve been looking for. 💚
