… or even things that you just don’t like, or aren’t useful/beautiful. The world is full of things that annoy and upset you; no need to have any of them in the one small place that you have control over.
Personal example: Like many females, I have Feelings About My Body. I won’t get into them…

SO FULL OF WIN.

I first discovered the work of Judith Braun about a year ago and wrote a short piece about her beautifully symmetrical finger drawings that she refers to as “fingerings”. Braun’s work recently exploded in both scale and complexity, shifting from the abstract to the literal in this new mural entitled Diamond Dust. The piece was painted over several days in February in front of a live audience at the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, Virginia using fingerprints created from the fine powder of ground charcoal. Diamond Dust is on display through June 1.

Someplace I would like to be.
It’s National Vodka Day, apparently. If there’s anything to celebrate about a spirit that aspires to have no taste, it’s its willingness to soak up the flavors of whatever you toss into the bottle.
My favorite way to enjoy a bottle of vodka: Turn it into gin.
I call this “cheater gin” out of respect for the craft distillers who start with some produce and a still. Legally, however, gin can be made “by mixing neutral spirits, with or over juniper berries and other aromatics.” So call it whatever you like.
You can buy your juniper berries online or pick some ripe ones from a shrub (look for blue-black berries with no bug holes; the green ones taste like paint thinner). Add herbs, spices, citrus peels, cucumbers, flower petals or whatever else you’re into, and let the vodka do its work.
Ian Knauer’s Kitchen Gin is a solid starter recipe, but the juniper tends to hide behind the other botanicals. If you like a stronger gin flavor, add the spices first, strain them out, and let the juniper enjoy a long, solo soak. Taste it every day because that’s the sort of sacrifice you’re willing to make for your art. Two to ten days later, it will be cocktail ready.
