I got to do a freaking amazing thing today. I saw the pigment collection at the Fogg Museum at Harvard this afternoon.

A photo of the entrance of the Forbes Pigment Collection. The red orange sign says:

Forbes Pigment Collection and Gettens Collection of Binders and Varnishes
The colorful array you see across the courtyard are the samples that make up the Forbes Pigment Collection and the Gettens Collection of Binders and Varnishes. These collections were started at the turn of the 20th century by Edward Waldo Forbes, second director of the Fogg Art Museum, who believed that scientific information could enhance our understanding of how artworks are made and how they age.
These collections are used like reference libraries: we analyze artworks alongside samples of known pigments and binders to identify and authenticate them.
Today, the Forbes and Gettens Collections
have grown to more than 3,500 specimens.
They include ancient samples of Egyptian Blue and Han Purple-the world's oldest synthetic pigments-as well as samples of those invented in the 21st century, such as Vantablack and YInMn blue. The binders include natural and synthetic glues, resins, and oils. Behind you is a case containing samples from the Forbes Pigment Collection, which we change from time to time-feel free to take a closer look!

We said goodbye to this remarkable dog yesterday. We adopted her in 2012 from the shelter. She helped raise two kids, a puppy, and four rats.

I’m shopping my notebook shelf and interviewing candidates for my next bullet journal. It sounds kinda ridiculous when I say it but I’ve been in my last bujo since November 2025 so it’s a bit of a commitment. 🤣 Wish me luck!!

Reading on my couch after making dinner. Both dogs are spread out on the floor sleeping like they get paid to snooze. I made an Indian Hot Dish which my family loves and I have dinner ready for the rest of the week. Tomorrow I need to do some writing and catching up on website chores.

I’ve reached the notebook making stage of my tarot journey:

A photo of a spiral bound brown craft board notebook with stickers of a butterfly, frog, ginkgo leaf, phases of the moon, and mushrooms surrounding sticker that says “try it love the questions.” All of the stickers are yellows, golds and greens.

We have a feral chicken in our neighborhood and this week she’s been hanging out between my garage and my neighbor’s house. She’s so pretty!

Brunhild, as named by my youngest child, the neighborhood chicken-on-the-loose stares me down from the neighbor’s side yard. She is rusty red and healthy looking, if a bit skittish.

It is an absolutely perfect day outside today

I’m crocheting a Venus of Willendorf and I got this coral color which I thought would match her glaze color. But my offspring pointed out that she looks like a sweet potato and NOW I CAN’T UNSEE THAT 🤣 #CrochetArt #YarnLove #OnlyBeautifulThings #Crochet #MakingThings #ArtYear #ThinkingAboutMaking

A photo of an in-progress crocheted Venus of Willendorf. She doesn’t have a head yet and the yarn color makes her look like a yam.

A post from jessicaddickson that says:
If using genAl is something that gives you what you need to push past your capacity, I want you to start asking yourself: in what ways am I normalizing my own exploitation?

My art discord has been laughing about this meme all afternoon. I’m still not over it.

A photo of a short post a the text says “when you need art advice” the photo under that text is a summoning circle made out of painter’s tape. A photo of the painter Bob Ross is in the middle of the star. Then around the points of the star inside the circle are: a tube of paint, a paint plush, a beater, a paint squeegee shaped like a brush, and a paint water cup covered in dried paint.
