What does it mean that love is not always enough?  What is the answer then? I am thinking it is all like loops, positive and negative loops. I am seeing it all like machines, all together spinning thread, black thread from the negative loops and gold from the positive.  And if the bad loops get jammed up, then no one can spin the good loop or make the golden thread.  Then, you have to get away from the each other, even if you love each other, and try to spin the golden loops apart from each other

 It is so sad. It is hard for me to explain.  It’s a big concept. But I too, have loved and lost

Yes, and it is not just these friends, it is many people, family even. But we can’t help it. Their negative loops fit right into ours and spin our black thread so fast we don’t have time to make any gold.. we lose the gold thread. When that happens, we lose ourselves and the deep deep down truth of us, where we find what is real and what matters

And that is a tragedy, because the gold thread is so beautiful when it spins.





 

 Good lords! (yes one of us is polytheistic.. if we use any deity moniker in the singular, they get mad at us.. so.. yea.. also btw, this polytheist is a kid and has a temper, so we don't mess with her. lol.)

  

As I was saying.. GOOD LORDS!!!!!! Learning this new program is taking forever.. our normal process for drawing (a lot of random lines, smudging and erasing) does not translate the way we want it to in the program, so we have to work out a new technique, while also learning the features of the program..and it is forever taking. we have just been working on this one piece (apart from short music breaks.. we play the ukulele & guitar) all week.

  

(I like how Ariadne turned out best, she is the one with the book.)

  

And we have been staying up too late working on it XD... which makes us.. like a sort of blend where there are two people fronting simultaneously, in a lazy and sort of disconnected way.. If we are drawing it doesn't matter too much... like the drawing will go back and forth a bunch, as we can't agree on how it ought to be drawn and the control is too evenly split for there to be one controlling opinion. But sometimes the art goes better when we are blended like this.

 

HOWEVER, when we are typing we notice it a lot, it is like two sentences are getting written with similar meanings and slightly different wording, and getting mushed together. lmao. So it comes out as absolute nonsense. (Or with a confusing number of side notes in parentheses).

 

SO now having read this whole thing three times.. I think it is coherent. sweet.

Hello earthlings!

we have been doing lots of projects. I don't like writing, so I am going to just put a lot of pictures here. :)




This black adn white painting is by Mak and Elowen. 



This painting of colorful trees in a lake is a inspired by the mindscape of a friend system. The lake is called Blue Brd Lake. THeir Mindscape is called Avtendale. (Ours is called Emmengard). Bjorn and Sky mostly did this painting, they are both system kids. Elowen helped. She is an adult and kind of a mom, adn she paints the best of everyone.




This is a doodle of a tree that Elowen had started a long time ago and Kai recently finished.


This is a Chinese water color we found when we were cleaning our room. It looks like Eiolana pained Elowen. I guess she works in water color. There were a lot in our closet, and she signed most lot of them with a Chinese character for a sort of phoenix, "Luan." But she didn't sign this one. It feels lonely to me. Elowen used to be very lonely. Sometimes maybe she still is. but now we talk to each other, adn she is not very lonely . She helps the kids with their artwork, and she even lets us do the painting now. 




Weasel and Mak drew this for on of the books we are working one. These are two of teh charactes. (Weasel adn Mak are both girls, adn both aour 10 years old, I guess)





Ariadne realized these seed pods look like little skulls, and us kids thought it was so hilarious, and it reminded us how much we liked to make fairy and pixie houses when we really were kids, like our body was, and so we started on a silly pixie house project.


We made a pixie caravan from a tea tin adn spools, and bark for a roof. All of us kids helped, even the sort of older kids like Mak, Weasel, Phillis and Bran. Conrad even helped, and he is like a dad, but he was all excited cause we were excited and so it was a big family project. Everyone who contributed: Finn (that is ME! I am a girl), Talia, Sky, Bjorn, Bran, Mak ,Weasek, Phillis & Conrad.




Here is our cat, named Wisp, for scale. He is a good boi!!!! We should do a post al about Wisp next week. He is teh BEST cat of all teh Cats ever!


This is the inside of the caravan. This pixie is into Star Trekk. Haha!


And we did a pixie house in a tea light lantern we never use. It hangs on the porch. Two new houses for all teh urban pixies! We have always made fairy and pixie houses since we were kids. WE were thinking of putting up a fairy doo at this house when we bought it, but other stuff seemed more important I guess. In Iceland they have fairy houses too, like they are everywhere. It is a Scandenavian thing. We are half scandanavian, and our parents always talked about fairies and encouraged us. Maybe thats why we still make the fairy houses, even though our family moved away so long ago. They grew up making fairy houses and it got passed down. I don't really know. but when we found out more people than just our family made fairy houses and fairy doors we got really excited. As a kid every house we lived at we Emmengardians would find a spot away from everyone (like our brother and his dumb forts) and we would make a fairy village. We kind of like the term pixie more now, cause of discworld. we like those books. They have a certain kind of pixie in them that are like kind of like scottish clans I think.. we used to call tehm fairies. ..But yeah. I am just rambling now. 

That is the stuff we have been doing lately! :)

Have a nice day!
