Incredible!

As quoted from the website of Worcester's EcoTarium, "Cockroaches are almost indestructible. Some can survive freezing for more than two days, go without food for three months, and live through nearly 100 times the radiation dose that would kill a human."

No wonder apartment-dwellers in big cities can't get rid of them!

Am I an artist too?

I am surrounded by artist friends - they draw, paint, build, photograph, sing, entertain and educate. I can do those things too...but do I have a niche? Today was stART at the Station, a well-attended crafts fair in our historic Union Station. Gorgeous. I wore my new suspenders and as excitedly expressed by Grace, "They have lace!" Tom and I tried on some felt animal hats and M&D met my local artist friends. They are a lovely bunch! I am fascinated by their talents and local involvement with the ever-expanding artist community around here, though find myself in the shadows wondering when I will finally tap into my inner artist too. Where is she?

I've just spent the last hour checking out some Industrial Design websites. I was linked to them from Shoham's Girls Gone Wild Dot Me and then from other pages. Inspiring stuff.

Cards. Greetings. Birthdays. Paper & ink & marker & glue. Canvas too?
