Tenzin Palmo (comic #805)

Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, a wonderful Tibetan Buddhist, founded Dongyu Gatsal Ling in Himachal Pradesh, India, in 1999, the first nunnery dedicated to supporting nuns who wish to learn and become enlightened rather than be handmaidens of monks. My mum contributed to the founding of the nunnery before her death back in 2001. It’s wonderful to see the progress that’s been made since then. 

I was in a bit of struggle town last month and Jetsunma’s words have been very grounding, these words in particular.  https://www.youtube.com/@jtenzinpalmo 

Thanks to all my patrons and a special big extra thanks to Kate Webb, Erik Owomoyela, Stuart Barrow, Jesse the K, Brian Fies, Jay Hedtke, and Xander Odell. 

Good things,

Liz

Plushie designs for spoonflower!

Posted on October 16, 2015 by liz
Spoonflower is a pod fabric and wrapping paper service that I’ve been wanting to try out. I’m going to design somewhere between 2 and 6 fabric squares as my first test run for plushies and other neat things on fabric (I kinda want a repeating crinoline of all the characters in tutus). Here is my first attempt. What do you reckon? Anything else you want to see? Plushie things!

Chuffles Misses the Moon, and so it begins

Posted on October 7, 2015 by liz
And now in the month of Halloween, of transition and change I give to you Chuffles Misses the Moon. Every week day I’ll put up a fresh page from this children’s picture book I drew. THE FIRST EVER CHILDREN’S PICTURE BOOK I’VE DRAWN, unless you count the things I did when I was actually a kid. Drawing something in this format was a new learning experience for me. I’d love any notes or comments you have as the updates go up. I might try self publishing it when it’s done so folks can have something in hand to read to kids (OMG, the idea of something I’ve written being a bedtime story… kinda amazing). If I self publish I’d love you, my dear ones, I’d love your help to turn it up to eleven before we go to print. Please enjoy, Chuffles Misses the Moon.
