ROBOT Inside is available at Joseph-Beth Booksellers in Rookwood.
Wouldja look at that?!
Who would have thought that when I started making these little Owls and Monsters and Mermaids for gifts that 2 short years later, they'd be nestled in a vintage suitcase, on display at JB?
Not I. Not the ROBOT.
My friend, Molly, did the set up! Isn't she fantastic?
Owls and Monsters and Mermaids, oh my!
That one got all turned around!
I love seeing them all happy in their suitcase!

No matter how much I want to run sometimes, run fast and far and never look behind me, running takes me backwards. I know that doesn't make sense. Running should propel me forward. I long to sprint in the opposite direction and put all of the fears in my life long behind me. When I run, I illuminate the fears, I make them bigger than me, stronger than me. What am I running to?
Nothingness.
No feelings, no love, no hate, no sadness, no anything.
A void, the comfortable hole where it feels like nothing changes.
That hole will suck me up and savor me.
I will get to use to the feeling of nothing and curl up there, like a baby in a womb. I will think it is safe, but I know better.
It's trickery, the way my mind opposes my living.
The way misery feels like comfort.
The way tears taste like etouffe.
It isn't real. It's my play place. After 3 days of it, my heart longs for something more and I snap out of it, the victimized, martyrized me fades.
After a building anticipation that super charged my energy levels to all new proportions & kept me from sleeping for days, the early morning hours of Saturday, March 3rd, finally arrived with a bang! I loaded up my car with my favorite photographer, Will Ross, and we headed out the door. Arnold's welcomed us with a smile and much needed caffeine and we set about transforming the courtyard from Bockfest dining hall to Craft Extravaganza ready!
The stage was set, the crafters started arriving and the day began full tilt on swings!
