hanging out in another's studio was fun
especially since i was there
to lead four artists
into the depths of contact printing on paper
and a bit of cloth as well
merike's work is rich
and i had so much fun
looking around her workspace
when i wasn't working
we enjoyed the riches of plants and papers
and worked in the maine woods
right next door was new hampshire
you could straddle the line
if you were so inclined.
at night i had fun slippers to wear
with my nightie
and sometimes there is
a funny mystery in a world of mystery
while i travelled,
susan gaylord mentioned
spirit book
will have my papers in it!
susan had a table at
the book arts bazaar in april
in portland maine
and we finally met,
and she bought some botanical paper.
i love when this happens.

then i went to acadia and mt desert island...
here is sand beach
where i looked at the beach up close
and in another direction...
i loved the seaweed this trip,
the layers of ocean
leavings
the layers of ocean
leavings
at the northeast harbor library
i looked at some woolies
and skateboard art
then hannah took me to
thuya garden
a grand door
garden gate
and a big pot
flowers
and woods,
carefully nurtured and
featuring the great north woods.
even the trailing stuff was intentional.
details of the lodge
and
the summer house
there was a pool here.
tiny details almost overstepped
and these!
this zinc sink
made me happy
made me happy
as did the ruffed grouse
and these two family hooligans
were hamming for the camera.
it was a whirlwind trip,
and i have still
to catch up.
here in pixie space,
wrote a lovely piece
about our fun collaboration,
a measure, a book,
imagination...
