"Inverness" is a poem I wrote while travelling in Scotland about five years ago. I was inspired by these brilliant red berries, and a tour-guide told me the trees were called Rowan. When I got back to America, I hand-set the type and printed it on an antique letterpress machine. I put the prints in a box and kept them there for a long time, until just recently when I pulled out them out and watercolored a vegetal/berry motif onto each of them. Finally, they feel finished to me.

In case you're wondering, Inverness is a city in northern Scotland and very close to Loch Ness. (I never did see Nessie. Those waters are dark!)

Yay! I finally finished this zine and made copies of it yesterday. It's the second in a serial called "Minutiae," about the details and observations from my life. I feel like a weight has been lifted from me, because this thing was in the works for three months, while I was also working on other projects.

"This issue is dedicated to people who don't always know where they're going, and the people who help them along the way."

This zine chronicles the month of June - one month after I moved from Portland, Oregon, to live in Richmond, Virginia. I wrote and drew about my garden, a deer dream I had, rains and black-outs, having to be frugal, and the message that a glass hummingbird gave to me. A good zine for anyone who feels they are still "finding their way."

You can buy a copy in my Etsy shop: www.sprouthead.etsy.com.
