FIND ME ON INSTAGRAM
![Shadows of weeds, near and far; cyanotype on cotton sateen. It's amazing and kind of startling to me to realize that in the time we've been staying at home, muddling along with homeschooling and stepping on each other's feet (metaphorically, mostly), the sunlight on our porches has changed from slanted and early Spring-ish to strong, nearly Summer. ⠀
⠀
Last year at this time I was gathering materials and studying up on cyanotype, then all through the summer and fall I worked on it--when alone, while my son was at school or camp. And before, if you'd asked me to describe how I create, I don't think "alone" would even have occurred to me to say. It would have been like saying "I also breathe." It's only in this time of no-aloneness that this powerful habit has become visible to me. Wait until I'm alone. When I'm alone, I will think about this. I will do [x, y or z] when I'm alone. ⠀
⠀
I'm curious now, is aloneness really essential to me, or is it a habit I could change? It looks like I'll have lots of time to practice working not-alone this year, so I might as well test it out. How is staying at home working out for you, friends? Are you a Jane Austen, writing away on a side table while your family chatters around you? Or a Virginia Woolf, in need of a room of your own?](https://www.dianakelleydesign.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
