Merveilles en Papier

I have been admiring Laititia Mieral's work with paper for a while, haven't yet had the time to share some of it with you. So wonderful.

So much fun to dabble around in different ways of creative expression.

My Art Studio

Happy New Year everyone. I am back after a very busy Holiday season... My studio is almost ready. We put in wood floors and the space looks amazing. There is still much stuff to be put away as you can see in the picture, but it's coming along nicely. I am very inspired to start working, making - drawing - writing!

Quote of the day

An education devoted entirely to the development of abstract and technical mental facility, which lacks any vital connection with human meaning and substance, becomes itself a main agent of cultural impoverishment and the displacement of human concerns (Sloan, 1983, p. 196)

Tomorrow, Woodland Faire!

Don't forget to stop by the Woodland Faire tomorrow, at the
Westside Waldorf School in the Pacific Palisades.
