A watercolor picture that I've yet to write in. The snail idea I got from a picture of a tattoo that I have as a fave here on flickr. I decided to try and recreate my own version since I loved it so much.

(I just discovered if I take my art journal OUTSIDE to snap the pics, I get much better results!) :)
The pain is wearing on me. Today I couldn't focus on work, so I took a pain killer and played with some polaroid cameras. I used some of the photos in this spread.

p. 4 Eating lunch at Gariahat Market: chicken roll recommended by a couple from Kolkata that we met at home in Seattle during a Hanukah party. Best-tasting lassi in the world. A mini-bus ride to Fairly Place. I made faces at a truckload of children along the way.
p.5 Buying train tickets where they called numbers out of order. Attending the weekly gathering of queers to meet some locals and remembering all the people I made eye contact with during the course of the day. Some Hindi/Bangla words.
January 13, 2019 The weather was not great, but we went for a walk anyway. The cliff has suffered quite a bit under the storm!
January 14, 2019 screwed-up day. The root-treated tooth received a new plastic filling. The dentist did not want to give me an injection because the tooth is dead. Unfortunately, I am so sensitive to pain that I found it terrible anyway. No idea if there was any residual sensitivity in the root-treated tooth or if the neighboring teeth did not like the treatment. For me it was awful.

13. Januar 2019 Das Wetter war zwar nicht so toll, aber wir waren trotzdem spazieren. Die Steilküste hat unter dem Sturm ziemlich gelitten!
14. Januar 2019 Scheißtag. Der wurzelbehandelte Zahn erhielt eine neue Kunststoffüllung. Der Zahnarzt wollte mir keine Spritze geben, weil der Zahn ja tot ist. Ich bin aber leider so schmerzempfindlich, dass ich es trotzdem furchtbar fand. Keine Ahnung, ob es eine Restempflindlichkeit in dem wurzelbehandelten Zahn war oder ob die Nachbarzähne die Behandlung nicht mochten. Ich fand es furchtbar.

This clock belonged to my great-aunt, who gave it to my grandpa, who gave it to me about 15 years ago. It was just a plastic clock, but I enjoyed it. A few years ago it got wet and I dried it out and straightened out the clock face, and it started working again. This time when it fell off top of the medicine cabinet, where I had unwisely put it, barely missing my husband's head, it broke in parts. Of course, I had to save the face for my journal. Those are Modigliani's eyes peeking out.
In creating a journal page celebrating my cat's birthday, I realized that the final product definitely falls under the Sketchbook challenge February theme of "opposites."

I think the notes explain most of what I did. For my thoughts about it all, see my blog post about it.
