Well, things aren't moving as quickly as I would like. . . got knee deep in projects and am dreaming of ways to beautify the world with plants; which reminds me, check out Echo's Mandala.
Frances, Jennie Ann and I have been working on making a Mary of Guadalupe Altarpiece for a homeless campsite here in town. Frances' keenly frugal nature allowed us to make it at minimal cost: she traded tomato plants for fiberboard and took a friend up on an offer for a free, plastic yard decoration Mary. We all pitched in and made it in the course of about 8 hours! All it took was a little paint, some stencils and silk flowers. (Must insert a quick applause for Charlie and his detailed nature and unending patience for taking care of the hair on the figure. . . too many paint fumes prevented us girls from being able to paint a good hairline at any cost!)
c'mon and build one with me, its the latest craze, I promise.

renee! blog! i have too recently discovered 'blogging', and was excited to learn you are & have been doing the same. renee? blog? we haven't talked in so long! this is a good way to keep track of what's going on, in absence of the more sacred and profound letters, phone calls, coffeehouse chats.
your projects seem so amazing- when next i'm in charlotte (for REAL next time, ok???) i want to see some of your work.
i also had an altar, once, when i lived in a house on w.35th in charlotte, i had a room with a lot of light, and on one side of the room i had an altar beneath the windows, lined with stones, candles, green things. it was nice, comforting. i still have an altar of sorts, but it's more in my head.
i don't know if any of this has to do with your entry to which i'm responding, but i think it must, as i was compelled to respond in the first place.
def. post the picture of wolfie, et. al., i'd love to see them!
Hey there, I read about this on YGG, but never took the time I'm taking now to tell you this: I think this is awesome. I'd love to see pics.
