January Collage Challenge

Online N/A, Portland, OR, United States

For January’s Collage Challenge, we’re building off of last month’s theme. For December, the Collage Challenge was to create a collage based on Tarot imagery. To determine the theme of January’s Collage Challenge, we pulled a card, which as it happened is 2021’s Card of the Year— the Hierophant! So for January’s Collage Challenge, the challenge is to create a collage based on the Hierophant archetype. Tag the IPRC or join us Thursday, Jan. 14th for a virtual Show & Tell of your collage creations. Register here, and zoom link will be sent on the day of the event.

Tender Table Ramen Party!

Online N/A, Portland, OR, United States

Instant ramen has a special spot in my heart. When I was a kid, my dad would whip up a bag of chicken flavor Maruchan instant ramen and crack an egg into it, which is one of my favorite comfort foods to this day. My go-to instant ramen these days is Shin Raymun with an egg cracked into it, or if I’m feeling fancy, I’ll add a soft boiled egg and blanched hearty greens like gai lan. Since we can’t exactly cook for each other and eat together in person, I'd love to send you a pack of instant ramen to make at home and add your favorite toppings to it while we eat together and hang out virtually. I’m curious to see how y’all…

PREORDER Vulnerability Is My Superpower to receive a bookplate signed by Jackie Davis and an invite to the virtual release party on Tuesday April 6, 6pm PST.
