Whang Od (Buscalan, Philippines)

When Whang Od was twenty-five, the man she was in love with died in a logging accident. Instead of looking for a new husband, she dedicated her life to tattooing, and now, sixty odd years later, she is the last practitioner of an art form that many scholars believe is nearly one thousand years old. Whang Od is still tattooing in her nineties.

hi i make my own pickles.

hi i make my own pickles. Hi my name is Glenys.

I make pickles and jewelry and mobiles and lists and scarves and gingerbread and things up as I go along and small houses out of cardboard and stories and I like to think that the things I make make up for all the things I am not.
