half sleeve: done, *edit

so I got my rose and magnolia colored in last night, and you know what? it hurt even more than the outline/shading. Yowch. Rich says: "I don’t understand why you put yourself through all of that?"

They looked unfinished, and I couldn’t wait to get color on them… that’s why. I’m now looking forward to getting my forearms done, I hear that they’re less painful than the upper arms. I’ll be doing pansies, orchids, and a bird of paradise. Probably some ferns and leaves to fill it out. I have some pics of my arm (without color) up on myspace… my username is birdrib if you’re interested.

Birdrib is a palindrome… my favorite is ‘Gary knits a stinky rag’.

cut ‘n paste this to find my myspace…

RYN: What actually is a “cold humour.” We used to eat a lot of baked potatoes and beans. It was a major staple in our diets. I think moving from being vegetarians to raw is an easier transition than for nonvegetarians… So far for me, the only meal that has changed will be dinners. How do you feel about dehydrators? It seems there are raw-snobs out there that don’t think you should dehydrate.

I hope you don’t mind all my notes… I actually had a question about sprouting. I looked it up on-line (how to sprout beans) and it looks complicated. Do you have any recommendations? So, are you strickly raw? If one does come down with that cold-humour is it okay being raw to eat heated food then? Or is that just a transition side-effect. Thanks for all your advice by the way.

eek, supercool..looks very painful though with all of that thick black outlining. @};———–

thanks again for the info. I will be more adventurous with sprouting. It seems like sprouting opens the door to so many more recipes. I also love acupuncture.
