Check out my newest experiment in my windowsill garden!
Maybe you’ve tried this with carrot or lettuce ends — have you ever tried Brussels Sprouts?

Shelbee’s Spread the Kindness
Are you familiar with Egyptian Walking Onions? They are otherworldly!
The “babies” grow from clusters of bulbs (they look like garlic bulbs) at the top of sturdy stems. I imported mine from Patucci in Providence a few years ago and they’ve been going strong ever since.
I use them instead of Green Onions or Chives.

Two ideas about liquid.
First, in 2015, I used the Waterlogue App to turn photos of food and drink into “watercolors”. I did it every day for a #100dayProject Instagram challenge and went way beyond the 100.

Second, today I used real watermedia (watery gouache) in another app that I usually use to convert my day job outfit textiles into circular compositions AKA #tinyplanets.
I see potential for a new path of exploration!
These were both originally posted on Instagram, but I like the Archive feature on Tumblr better for finding old Instagram posts.
Post inspired by the Daily Post’s weekly Photo Challenge,
this week’s challenge is Liquid
I have FIVE #dailytruck prints on metal that I can’t locate. I put them “in a safe place” when my gallery changed its location. One I’m featuring on my promotional materials for my upcoming exhibition, #mycommute. If I don’t find it, I’ll have to get another print made. I really don’t want to do that.
I went so far as to do this:
This morning, I’m going through the art storage area with a fine tooth comb.

Nope.
I will now imbibe some of my cold-brewed coffee experiment:
and turn the house upside down!

Day 30 Thirty Books
June 30, 1936. Margaret Mitchell’s book, Gone with the Wind, was published.
Have you read Gone with the Wind? Do you want to read it? What books do you want to read? What books have you read that you recommend? What books do you not recommend or will you not read?
Give us your list of thirty books.
Note: I have a lot of books. Some have been in my possession since high school, which means they’ve traveled across the country a few times. I wrote an exhaustive list of all my fashion books for SpyGirl — one of my more insane episodes because I provided links for all those still in print.

Day 10 A Toast to Ten Bloggers
June 10, 1935. Dr. Robert Smith (Dr. Bob) takes his last drink and Alcoholics Anonymous was founded in Akron, Ohio, by Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob.

I WILL give two shoutouts: to Kathleen, who is hosting this challenge, and Tami, who turned me on to it.
Alternative: Share links to the top ten posts on your blog from last year according to your stats. Include an excerpt from each. Or share your favorite ten posts since starting your blog.

Yes, the metrics are bad.
Sigh — can’t trust that app!
Here are my real Top Ten for the last month, found manually on Instagram
(which I should have done in the first place).
Analysis: the Likemeter metrics don’t include video.
Even so, three images from June-May were overlooked. Why?
