Finally unearthed this blog today with the help of Halley, my daughter (who also helped me set it up), advising me over the phone. When I asked her how to change the background colour she said, "Go to Settings and then, you'll figure it out." I love it when she says, "You'll figure it out." I did, too. My next question is how to post images (ho ho just saw the little window "insert image" hang on to your hats).

 

This is me teaching an art class sometime last year, my boss took this photo. These are bright kids - one of them told us about finding meteorites out around Cerrillos, NM, "Little super hard stones. Like finding MAGIC!"

 

These are concretions, not meteorites, but these are also MAGIC. I found these in Vermont alongside a river in a bank of beautiful gray clay, near where I was doing a residency a few years ago. The clay has been hardened around stones and sticks into (mostly) whimsical forms. Gifts from Mother Earth.

 

This is the clay bank - and a giant hand I made there.
