The tools of an artist are not their brush or canvas, but their hands. Usually rough, stained with their preferred medium and a slight tremble from caffeine if the time of day is right. Art comes from the mind and heart, but to execute those feelings and connect with the world, hands are an essential line of communication that is unique to every painter, photographer and performance artist out there. My hands have always been broken, for lack of a better phrase, but I try for the sake of art. My ex broke my dominant hand years ago, leaving me with carpal tunnel pain that comes and goes; not the worst he has left me with and I am always thankful to be alive. I still made Dean’s List during my first semester of college, my right hand in a cast and painfully writing out algebraic equations. Today, I recount daily feelings in my journal, paint canvasses with my son and my finger tips will bleed and callous with 15 minutes of daily practice. My hands, although talented, still suffer from frequent, what I call, “dropsies”: grip suddenly lost in my hand leads to dropped object. I’ve gotten really good at juggling out of no where, if you could believe me. Wreath working is a slow process even if you have experience: the vines require a sweet spot for dry curly tendrils yet malleable for twisting and forming. I have a tendency to move slow in any way I can: smell the roses, feel the stream, lay in the sun, and my artistry is no different. As a busy mom, life can move fast if you’re caught off guard and practicing stillness is my preferred balancing method. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/af5720ca-8617-4cee-8f96-b381fdc44ce1/hearditthroughthegrapevine-08.jpg autobiographical anonymous - through the grapevine - Make it stand out I’m still working out how to get a good focus on a self timer without a remote. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/8fb4ba83-7cd9-40ca-b842-c13939d605e4/hearditthroughthegrapevine-05.jpg autobiographical anonymous - through the grapevine - Make it stand out process… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/c49f4df7-4c66-48f1-97d3-ebd9b785a76b/hearditthroughthegrapevine-02.jpg autobiographical anonymous - through the grapevine - Make it stand out and… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/88eaba10-e8af-4de0-a92c-2aabce6ee20c/hearditthroughthegrapevine-07.jpg autobiographical anonymous - through the grapevine - Make it stand out …determination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/afc96613-b01c-4e0c-a78d-6dfc752dad92/hearditthroughthegrapevine-04.jpg autobiographical anonymous - through the grapevine - Make it stand out Focused face and allergy ridden hands https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/d8ecd144-1c08-4288-b487-d3345c76491c/hearditthroughthegrapevine-03.jpg autobiographical anonymous - through the grapevine - Make it stand out A witch admiring her work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/eb3b541f-4d2d-4027-991b-76e0858aa70b/hearditthroughthegrapevine-01.jpg autobiographical anonymous - through the grapevine - Make it stand out Two of way too many wreaths I’ve made the last couple of days. https://www.thatcrookedvulture.com/words/ten-of-swords-three-of-cups monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/d0c169a5-23eb-4ab3-9e81-6637c4f0555f/shiplock011526-2.jpg autobiographical anonymous - ten of swords / three of cups - Make it stand out A friend along the path. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/8ac503fc-ba17-47d2-a4d3-e0c8b3f86522/shiplock011526.jpg autobiographical anonymous - ten of swords / three of cups - Make it stand out Northern Sea Oats along the James https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/e464caa7-60d4-471b-9e7d-8dbd8a4b1188/shiplock011526-1.jpg autobiographical anonymous - ten of swords / three of cups - Make it stand out Briars and honeysuckle and condoms… oh my! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/1b16da47-601a-4a25-8ba2-d636c729c2e4/Photo_2026-01-15_182805.jpeg autobiographical anonymous - ten of swords / three of cups - Make it stand out “And remember… don’t give up hope, okay?” https://www.thatcrookedvulture.com/words/severance monthly 0.5 2026-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/0153ce3f-fdf9-4900-b7d2-341bff0dd672/000013290015.jpg autobiographical anonymous - severance - Make it stand out Sunset on Lamb https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/a1be5a5e-dc3f-4438-a67c-31a573175326/000013280038.jpg autobiographical anonymous - severance I found myself at the strangest of crossroads beginning of this year. Past and present slowly joined hands, intertwining threads reminding me of my humanity. A conversation I’ve held before, but different this time: Tender and without guilt. Soft love I seldom give myself. Severance would come soon. Pain set in, but different this time: refined, with less uncertainty. Inevitable, as the only way out is through. I have been here before and the air whipped at my back with promises, promises, promises. My tail swats back in defiance, swirling dust and dissonance, a dance of twins and toro. This time I find myself in a pool of love, floating on water, refusing to drown me. Flowing down into cracks, solidifying me again. There is water all around. If you know me, you’ve come to know my sentimental nature. “It’s always the thought that counts.” Mine slid relentlessly back and forth on that mental abacus: adding worries, subtracting reason, multiplying possibilities, dividing the future. Tick-tock, tick-tock. Can you hear those beads clicking in and out of neurons? Severance would come soon. And if nothing else, I am better off for it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/fae780e9-98be-45b4-ad3d-a9f1cc46349c/000013260035.jpg autobiographical anonymous - severance - Make it stand out Lavender on Lamb https://www.thatcrookedvulture.com/words/guestbook monthly 0.5 2026-01-10 https://www.thatcrookedvulture.com/about daily 0.75 2026-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/eb501c5b-ae31-49f2-909c-f3d6b226bf52/000047950031.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/541b5300-901a-49e8-939b-8dfbdc9032b9/HALLOWEEN+SELF+2023.png https://www.thatcrookedvulture.com/connect daily 0.75 2026-01-21 https://www.thatcrookedvulture.com/spinning-in-daffodils daily 1.0 2026-01-15 https://www.thatcrookedvulture.com/store daily 0.75 2026-01-09 https://www.thatcrookedvulture.com/store/p/floral-design-consultation monthly 0.5 2026-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/34a65718-7fe4-413c-bbe4-84923fcb7805/IMG_0665.jpg floral - discuss and arrange - IMG_0665.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/3534be8e-193d-408b-9b34-d4da72304070/IMG_0217.jpeg floral - discuss and arrange - IMG_0217.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/09737f0c-fb9b-4625-9c6d-33cc410afe22/000201350024.jpg floral - discuss and arrange - 000201350024.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/8949be6a-61f8-4e27-b6eb-c826a95262f2/IMG_0420.jpeg floral - discuss and arrange - IMG_0420.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/b4a8a0df-7686-4c07-bc1d-79097fd4835f/IMG_0439.jpeg floral - discuss and arrange - IMG_0439.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/2c88da77-9811-4574-8674-00f4d29d55f9/IMG_0673.jpeg floral - discuss and arrange - IMG_0673.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/b0635886-19d5-448b-8c76-ed12d0c30251/IMG_1011.jpeg floral - discuss and arrange - IMG_1011.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/0d5080c2-7267-4a94-a37f-4022ea8b5fb1/IMG_5521.jpg floral - discuss and arrange - IMG_5521.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/983299b6-d8b4-4d08-9c95-b641a4f907e1/IMG_7505.jpeg floral - discuss and arrange - IMG_7505.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/3b1e7cd7-df35-49ac-a2f6-64ca1cc1ac7b/IMG_7821.jpeg floral - discuss and arrange - IMG_7821.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/658605fa-a025-49df-a3cc-633645c3434d/IMG_8864.jpg floral - discuss and arrange - IMG_8864.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/ebc8115c-3643-4e74-905c-2b5b1de1adb2/leftoverflowerarrangementfeb28.jpg floral - discuss and arrange - leftoverflowerarrangementfeb28.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69602fd01ecda40f435f37d9/96fdffe0-cd4d-48aa-b285-781b44ffd539/leftoverflowerbudvasefeb28-1.jpg floral - discuss and arrange - leftoverflowerbudvasefeb28-1.jpg
