I know what you mean. The prayers are my way of getting back into my artwork. I've been having a lot of difficulty realizing "planned" pieces of artwork over the last few years, so these little things are fabulous. No planning, just drawing. And there's something so nice about getting ink onto paper. I feel like I'm actually doing something, and processing all this bottled up creativity finally.

The paper isn't made by me, although I think I'd like to incorporate that into the process at some point. It seems like it'd be so much fun to make my own paper.

I had an awful experience working in a corporate office for about three years (by the end of which I was about ready cut my own face off Firefly-Reaver-style). Now that I've gotten back into work that's more tactile, I feel like I can finally breathe again.
