Busted levies on the White River and the Green. Another front moving in – high winds and soggy ground. At 0530 there were dozens of outages all across the metro, and most of Vancouver was dark AF. 100K without power, far too many without heat, and we’ve barely set the stage. Candles and sterno are stocked, rechargeables are topped off, cooler retrieved from storage.

Good time for a new project. If I don’t get out of my head and into my hands soon, my cranium is going to combust and I’m not cleaning that up. Might finally be time to make the damn tree; nothing loves water quite like a willow.

Armature is 22ga floral wire and I only bled twice. (Edit: That I noticed at the time; now that the swelling has set in, I look like I tussled with a feral cat. Next time wear the damn gloves.)



Out of baby powder to make fiber paste. I could probably whip up something workable with plaster.
