My Royal Talens sketchbook has become a catch all for my art journaling.
I was inspired to work with my inner child today. Little Rikki and I flipped through a little Barbie booklet I picked ip the other day — I finally watched the Barbie movie. And it reminded me how much I loved the color pink.
It was combined with my love of ballet and dance. I practiced free dance for the first time this last week. Due to chronic body pain, I have struggled to do move my body, let alone feel confident in moving freely. The past three months I have been focused solely on a gentle yoga practice to help facilitate easier days in my body and to free dance.
Then my grandma gifted me a statue I remember from when I used to stay at her house as a child. It’s a dark metal statue of a ballerina, tutu and all. It’s helped me to address the fact that there are some things I never let myself dive too far into. I quit gymnastics and dance as a kid due to horrible migraines, and by the time I was older, activities such as dance team were far too expensive.
The next time I remember dancing is late nights out dancing. Not fond memories for a recovering alcoholic, though not all bad. Not the type of free dance I’m going for though.
Anyways, all of this culminated on the page, and adding free dance to my habit tracker…although it is one I will be a lot more patient with. It has taken me a long time to get to this point. I don’t want to force it. No freedom in that, either.

Some of these experiments are photos of collages I already shared that have been put through a mirror filter. Currently obsessed with the patterns that arise. I would love if you would share what you see in any of these works in the comments.
I am looking to start a zine club! It would probably be a monthly subscription. I could probably do this via Substack or Patreon. Currently just shifting back into zine making mode so I am only off on this until the New Year. If you have preferences, please share below! I could also just make a monthly zine to purchase, or offer a 3 month, 6 month, 12 month block to purchase at once to avoid another subscription. What are you working on at the moment?
