clay figurines and my mood...

 i made this little guy when my students were

sculpting their greek columns out of clay...

i heart ganesh

 this is one of my examples for how to make birds

the 4th graders had a ball making theirs.

 this is me in production mode.... a bit too late

for my own studio sale... but just in time for frenchtown.

inspiration bottles and avalokitesvara hands of compassion...

gifts from a friend... i love you marie!

this is the exact book i have been looking for...

after reading alison wright's book, "learning to breathe"

these are her photo essays.

can't wait to be with them in silence to bathe in their beauty.

.....

i am in a somber mood because of a bomb that went

off right near a temple in varanasi... 

on the ganges... while people were bathing

and doing to their 6:30pm puja by the river...

it just makes me want to curl up into a ball

and not leave the house...

but life must go on and i must do something

to help spread peace in this crazy world we live in...
