While pasta is draining mix kefir and cheese packet in pot used to cook pasta. Add drained pasta and tuna. Stir thoroughly. Garnish with dill and enjoy!

For lack of something of my own creation to write about, I thought I’d mention another maker’s beautiful work.

I came across Block Shop Textiles several months ago and instantly fell in love with Lily Stockman’s amazing silk and cotton scarves. Today I finally convinced myself to purchase one. That indigo herringbone beauty pictured first will soon be mine! Or one like it anyway. You should definitely go and oggle their site.

So….Hi! I know I dropped off the face of the Earth there for awhile, but I promise I haven’t completely forgotten Fawn Relic. Or this blog.

I am knee-deep in chemistry, painting and art history right now and I love it. Unfortunately, it’s occupying most of my time. However, I would like to announce that I have some old favorites back in stock. Karma scarves in throw-back Fawn Relic colours! Can it be a throw-back if it’s only two years old? Anyway, yay! More stock!

Pock marks stand out
Like constellations
Against the skin.

A star map
Permanently etched
On to the epidermis.

Ducks All In a Row

Sun, 06 Jan 2013 20:38:40 -0500

I know I’ve been pretty absent from Tumblr and Etsy (as well as my other social media outlets) as of late, but it has all been for a good cause! I have been preparing to return to school to finish my bachelors degree and I’m so very excited. Tomorrow I begin the first of my four remaining semesters of my art history/painting degree. I will have my first-ever chemistry class, that I am much looking forward to. It will be so refreshing to learn something new.

After I complete my bachelors degree, the plan is to continue on to a masters program in art conservation. There is a great deal of hard work ahead of me and I couldn’t be more pleased.

Unfortunately, I expect school to cut into my Fawn Relic shop time. I intend to continue with my shop, but in more of a hobby capacity. I love making beautiful, functional goods and will continue the Fawn Relic line in small and limited batches.

In the spirit of the new year I’ve decided to make a few resolutions:
1. Learn to play an instrument (I was thinking something exotic, like the mandolin).
2. Develop the perfect oatmeal recipe.
3. Keep an art journal.
4. Learn to speak French.

I’ve already started in on two of these resolutions. I’ve downloaded the MindSnacks French iPhone app and have started my first few French lessons.

I’ve also started an art journal. I’m already behind on it, but as soon as I procure a new glue stick, I should be back in the game!

Happy 2013, friends!

Shop update! See all of the goodies over at the Etsy store.

Mon, 29 Oct 2012 14:51:33 -0400

“A soul connection is a resonance between two people who respond to the essential beauty of each other’s individual natures, behind their facades, and who connect on this deeper level. This kind of mutual recognition provides the catalyst for a potent alchemy. It is a sacred alliance whose purpose is to help both partners discover and realize their deepest potentials. While a heart connection lets us appreciate those we love just as they are, a soul connection opens up a further dimension… seeing and loving them for who they could be, and for who we could become under their influence. This means recognizing that we both have an important part to play in helping each other become more fully who we are. A soul connection not only inspires us to expand, but also forces us to confront whatever stands in the way of that expansion.”
