i stayed up till 2 a.m. doing celtic knots, which it turns out i can still do! i even did some mildly complex ones. thanks, mark! :D
using "what the wing says" instead of the magic/tech text was absolutely the right decision. i still want to explore the magic/tech connection, but it just wasn't the right thing for this format. i also made a conscious decision to not make the accordian book for the color studies. i really like the color studies and they were a terrific exercise, but i have to face the fact that this isn't a priority and will only succeed in driving me crazy. i'm not ready for bookmaking yet. it was a hard decision, but i'm so glad i finally made it.
at lunch some of us went to the carmel valley artists sale at the karl strauss brewery. wow! there were some beautiful pieces (i bought two raku stars; i'll buy anything with stars), & the brewery was like a little park! i've got to go eat there (yes, michael, this is probably in your future).
the kids at the montessori school must be learning about biology; they had three little baby chicks! they were just four days old and too young to be held (as i belatedly discovered).
