Extremely niche--anyone know if in ancient regime France the day of a nun's profession might be termed her 'journee?' (Script is clear, abbreviations not an issue, inscription grammar is often...condensed.. so I'm brainstorming)
'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)
