i haven't left town,

not yet,

but will in a week and a half

for oz.

first stop: beautiful silks

and a very exciting class

on making our own cartographic explorations

contained inside

artists' books!

three days of intense play

serious play*, in fact

i can hardly wait!

i have reluctantly pulled myself away

from the printing on silk

seen here

and here

and morojifu

moons

and winter sunrises keep calling

to me-get all your ducks in order!

those ducks include

a list long enough,

too long, actually

here's an amish farmhouse i pass

ten times a week

on the way to work.

and the ladies fly by

but i had to stop

full stop

to photograph them in blizzard dress

one morning last week

on the way to school.
after melbourne, it's on to the grampians.

*serious play is a term coined by my dear friend
carol j blinn of warwick press.
