I LOVE Philip Fisher’s book about Wonder. The written part of my master’s thesis was based on this book and how it related to my work! Now I actually have someone to discuss it with!

Melanie,
A most happy belated birthday. I was in Buffalo, celebrating another happy occasion, the wedding of Emily and Todd, as you know. Having the print framed and will send pix when done. Again, hope it was a memorable one! Luv, Fran.

Tickled beyond measure to Google ‘commonplace books’ after Karen’s and my meeting today to find your name only 5 hits down the list Mel! Cool.
“More more more said the baby,” Quote from my favorite baby book, with that title.

Thanks for that inspirational quote from Madeline L’Engle. This is such a good reminder as we head back into the school year cycle of teaching. I love your reframing of the work assigned for home learning: “home play”. I ,too, carry the tradition you call Common Books. What a lovely term for the collected thoughts we use to anchor ourselves in the reflective process! I am adding this inspiration to mine today. Then I am getting back to “seriously” playing in my studio.
Good luck with your Fall Classes, MM.

I look forward to having you here to print one day, and hopefully soon!
Thanks for the great comment–love knowing people who are inspired by Rilke.

BTW I love the font of this comment box.
What a wonderful insight in to your creating Melanie. I am inspired by the Rilke. I have heard the last stanza but only now the whole poem. Something about today and poetry. I am posting about it on my site today too.
Thank you for the deeper look in to your work.
Love, S

East/west might work! It’s interesting–the edge of the north side is also a we bit behind the south side…

what if you changed the orientation of the garden? to rows that go east west instead of north south? Or even diagonal? Beautiful Beautiful garlic!

Nice to hear from you, Sue! The visual diaries are a weird size, approximately 14×21 inches.
And wow, the felted wool coat, that’s many lifetimes ago, or so it seems.
Thanks for the look and the comments!
