It’s been… a year. Since time had no meaning (due to the sameness of being at home every day during so much of this pandemic), it is hard to believe it ended, rather than continuing on in a Groundhog-Day<\/em>-like fashion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m TIRED. But alive, which is a victory unto itself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of 2021 highlights from my iPhone photo blog, mobilelene.blogspot.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made great progress with my acrylic monotype printing practice this year, producing hundreds of prints, and expanding from my favorite opaque colors into transparent paints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instax cameras are fun! Yes, I have THREE Instax-compatible cameras, one for each size of film, PLUS A PRINTER that uses the mini size. Judge me, while I have fun with my tiny little prints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This month starts to look like me: all my interests are reflected, and I was taking more photos because I sprained my right arm and couldn’t write or draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have I made the book I planned to make of these? No. Did I produce another photo book mock up which I’m not sharing? Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
