In writing, I am led. In drawing, I am drawn to my life. In knitting, I am assured that all will be knitted into a beautiful whole. ******** Three things I love. Three things I seem to need desperately: *to feel led; like a child who is led by her Father's hand. Writing is one … Continue reading Three Loves

2015 :: Delight!
Happy New Year to All! The third and final thing I'm keeping in the forefront of my mind for this new year is perhaps the main bit underlying and undergirding the previous two. **How will I determine what to major in, focus on, emphasize? Delight! **How will I follow through on the less than glamorous … Continue reading 2015 :: Delight!
Major On One Thing At A Time
I often learn about living life from the process of drawing. That sentence sounds a bit odd. But it never ceases to amaze me how the act of drawing informs life, just as living informs drawing. For those who have followed me here for some time, this is not news to you. Here and here … Continue reading Major On One Thing At A Time

But we can also look for, and draw, the negative shapes, the space in between all the positive shapes. In … Continue reading Seeing the Negative as Positive

I looked up the history of this word and discovered that the marshmallow is actually an ancient Egyptian plant from which the … Continue reading Master Mallow Roaster
