COUNTING SEEDS I think I might have developed a new obsession. It started in a small way, counting the number of seed pods on an onion seed head & carefully mounting them in my workbook. Then I started "deconstructing" an […]
Had a couple of great days in the studio last week. I spent about 13 hours there on Thursday – I haven’t spent so long in a studio since I was on my MA. I didn’t plan to be there […]
