A few weeks ago I wrote an essay about my values and was honored to have it published in today's newspaper. I'm kind of shy about it (which is a rare thing) since this whole thing is a little overwhelming for me. I'm not big on attention, but this was an important subject and it was easy to write since it was all from the heart. For all you un-local friends, you can find my essay here. There is even a HUGE picture of me, much bigger than I would have wanted. I don't even like mirrors and pictures are even weirder. It's out there and its all me. ;-)
I got to see the final proof of the issue 3 of TPOT last night. Wow! CJ did such an awesome job on the artwork and set up of the whole book. He really has an uncanny natural eye for layout even before it's in the layout stage and it really shows in the final stages of production. Everything flows so well and ever picture conveys not only the story, but the feeling of the seen. There isn't a whole lot of "POWS" and "BAMS" in TPOT, so the feeling are more of an undercurrent of tension. How he manages to do it, I don't know, but that's what he's the artist and I'm just the lucky person to get to enjoy it.
Just a quick last note. We have our eye on loom number 4 right now. (I know! We're crazy! Looking at looms while we try to buy a house!) Can't believe how these things get me to voluntarily surrender my home, money, and time, but there all just so wonderful and 60" means I could start making actual bolts of hand woven material just like I've always wanted. EEEEEE! It makes me gitty!
Hang in there, friends, spring is coming. Be good and be careful.
