Learning, the act of gaining knowledge, is a craft unto itself. It starts with questions - the what ifs, how abouts, whys, . . . leading from the unknown to the known, through inquiry, experimentation, travel, and of course pure accident.

This is about how it happens in my life.

Here are pictures of the Red Mask, with and without the flash again



 


 These are a few more gift tube containers r 'pop' l 'fritz'



Here are 3 gift containers, suitable for a favourite tipple, or to store your knitting needles!

this is perfect day

reclamation - thinking of our very complex relationship with our earthly home

I've called this one hardened - hammered metal and concrete

citric - a shallow bowl, food safe like all the others

three of the frames I made: not 1000, patched, and trip. Each comes with a template to help place the picture in the right place.  3M Command Adhesive strips should be sufficient (and safe) for putting them up on your wall.
