Day 2/30: a floral hairpin.

Consistency is what I’m aiming for. I can make crochet flowers in my sleep, but this is the first time I attempted it with fine cotton thread. Not happy with the result, but at least I know.
(The book is Arati Kumar-Rao’s Marginlands- loving it)

Running from task to neverending task, I wanted a break. So at the dining table last nite, I splashed some coffee & ink to fashion a #tigress

Looks a little wonky, yea… if I’d taken care, would’ve been better! But felt great :) #Illustration always feels good

What an amazing sighting on this small, curated group journey into the wild heart of Karnataka led by Arati Kumar-Rao

#panacheworld

On the #WildHeartOfKarnataka expedition I led with Experiential Trvl Co, we saw tigresses galore — hunting, in water, at a kill.
& then, a HUGE surprise … someone not seen in months! A sub-adult female black panther sat watching us — so shy, so curious.
Thanks, spotter Anil!
