Billy bought me leather gear...for making stuff (technical terms).
so, while we were travelling, I started putzing around. I'm working on some boots.
here are some purses i've made.

farmer benn from cumbria
$475
this is inspired by a picture i found in an old national geographic. the entire article is on this farmer named Farmer Benn, who is quoted as saying: "i like doin' things the old way". he was a happy, overworked farmer. he is also quoted as saying: "when will i retire? i'm workin' myslef down from 90-hour weeks. Maybe next year it'll be 80 hours." a typical and charming image of farmers.

old friends
as i wend to the shores i know not,
as i list to the dirge, the voices of men and women
wreck'd
as i inhale the impalpable breezes that set in upon me,
as the ocean so mysterious rolls toward me closer and colser,
i too but signify at the utmost a littlewash'd-up drift,
a few sands and dead leaves to gather,
gather, and merge myself as part of the sands and
drift.
-Walt Whitman,
from As I Ebb'd with the Ocean Life
peace of the wild things
inspired by my dad and the poem by Wendell Berry:
Peace of the Wild Things
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
-Wendell Berry

gathering
I'm trying to get away from using photos that i didn't take,
but sometimes they're just so good. this one is of some italian women harvesting
jasmine for purfume. as a justification: i want to capture the diversity of agriculture around the world. i want bring a visual lucidity to the lives that literally carry the world on their backs. i mean, we already are connected through the products that we use--painting is my way of bringing a little more awareness and heart to our interconnected existence.
(i guess i need to get myself a camera and start travelling the world)
