rainy Brooklyn sunday

I've never been the type to sleep late. With one exception... on a rainy Sunday morning. It doesn't happen all that often but, when it does, I've been known to sleep with the best of 'em. Last night I managed to get 12 hours. It rained all night and all morning and hasn't stopped yet. There's nothing better for sleep: the tapping of the rain on the window sill, the dim light, and the feeling that there's no reason to be up in the crummy weather anyway. 

                

Finally, the need for coffee and cheese biscuits (which I baked last night) got the better of me and I started the day. 

It isn't the ideal light for photography by any stretch but I decided to show you my most recent paper cut anyway. It seemed fitting that I take her picture on a day like today.                

                   

I started this one early last week, putting in time here or there (sometimes no more than 10 or 15 minutes). 

                

This paper cut uses painted acrylic paper again. 

                 

I think I'll spend today thinking about a new painting... I am itching to carve again and also practicing my embroidery stitches (I am trying to teach myself after a couple of failed attempts earlier in life).

I hope you are having a peaceful and creative Sunday...
