on why I will never be a photographer…..
I have a confession to make….I have been mourning the fact that I had beautiful, inspiring photos of Bread and Puppet to share.. and I can’t! The ones I posted were recovered from the trash of my memory stick. Despite the fact that I have been reminded many times to put photos into the folders [...]
Bread and Puppet theater…..
I am back everyone!…and wanting to talk about some artists near and dear to my heart, Peter and Elka Schumann’s Bread and Puppet Theater. It wouldn’t be summer here in Vermont, without a sojourn to their place up in Glover, Vt. To explain what they do, I will quote the bread and puppet folks themselves: [...]

my creative space……
The studio is a bit of a mess this week, and on top of it all I am struggling with how to display for a huge art event I am participating in in september, called the ART HOP. What I love BEST about it is its egalitarian nature…yes, there is a juried portion, but anyone [...]
paying it forward….
I have to admit, for all of my belief in the universe, I have a paranoid nature. By that I mean that I guard my privacy ferociously ( and here I am blogging! ). I received an email from an organization called Giving Anonymously, telling me that they had money for me from someone who [...]
august birthstone….peridot!…..
In Ancient Egyptian culture, peridots were called ‘ the gem of the sun’….this was describing the flashes of color produced when the sun passed through them…interestingly, the mining method used by the Egyptians was to scout out peridot at night, (when they supposedly glowed in the dark), mark their locations, and then return during the [...]
