We're talking about OUR kids and that always makes for cloudier judgment. Our natural instinct to want to protect them and save them from any possible harm is a reality. I get that. So what to do?

MANDOLIN WIND Lyrics
Artist: Rod Stewart
Album: Ballad Album
(Rod Stewart)
When the rain came I thought you'd leave
'cause I knew how much you loved the sun
But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm
through the darkest nights I've ever known
If the mandolin wind couldn't change a thing
then I know I love ya
Oh the snow fell without a break
Buffalo died in the frozen fields you know
Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years
I couldn't believe you kept a smile
Now I can rest assured knowing that we've seen the worst
And I know I love ya
Oh I never was good with romantic words
so the next few lines come really hard
Don't have much but what I've got is yours
except of course my steel guitar
Ha, 'cause I know you don't play
but I'll teach you one day
because I love ya
I recall the night we knelt and prayed
Noticing your face was thin and pale
I found it hard to hide my tears
I felt ashamed I felt I'd let you down
No mandolin wind couldn't change a thing
Couldn't change a thing no, no
The coldest winter in almost fourteen years
could never, never change your mind
And I love ya
Yes indeed and I love ya
And I love ya
Lordy I love ya

Reader response overwhelms vote counter
Last Saturday it seemed like a great idea.
Ask who people thought were the five best athletes born in Arkansas.
It was believed a manageable number of 40 or 50 would respond. The first email read was from Paul Chruma of Hot Springs, and he had obviously given his answer much thought and some fretting. His was not first. That one came in Sunday at 4:41 a.m.
Don't know if it had anything to do with the time church was over, but just after noon the emails started pouring in. Dozens and dozens and dozens.
That was when it hit me. I was responsible for counting all the votes.
I started Sunday afternoon, continued Monday until I was almost caught up and will do it every day until June 10, the deadline for voting on the top five athletes who were born and bred in Arkansas at email@example.com.
I received some interesting comments and a little chastising. So far 64 athletes have been nominated, so the list might have to be a top 10. A couple of nominees received were for athletes not born in Arkansas.
One email busted me for not including female athletes, then later apologized after rereading the column and saw it just said, "athlete."
Another comment worth mentioning was from one of the athletes who was mentioned in Sunday's column and he just wanted to say thanks and that he had great teammates and coaching. It is difficult to find that kind of unassuming humbleness these days.
Which brings me to the little bit of chastising. Some wondered why I only mentioned a few candidates.
The truth is if I had provided a list, then it would have been my list and not your own opinions. So I mentioned just a few to prime the pump.
I didn't intentionally leave anyone out of the column.
I do a radio show with Matt Jones, whom I consider the most exciting quarterback to ever play for the Arkansas Razorbacks. He could turn nothing into something on the football field. And he lettered twice in basketball for the Hogs. His first collegiate pass was for a touchdown, and the first time he touched a basketball in a game, it was a dunk.
Houston Nutt, the former head coach of the Hogs and Ole Miss, was a heckuva two-sport letterman. He lettered in football and basketball at the UA and Oklahoma State.
Derek Fisher has more playoff appearances than any NBA player and was key last Saturday night in Oklahoma City getting to overtime in Game 6 against San Antonio.
Joe Johnson is a great NBA player who has never had the luxury of playing on a really talented team.
No list would be complete without Sidney Moncrief, an Arkansas All American who had a long career in the NBA.
Darren McFadden was the best running back to play for the Razorbacks. Cedric Cobbs could play anything.
Basil Shabazz might have been had he not turned down numerous football scholarships to play professional baseball.
Chico Fletcher went to Arkansas State on football scholarship, played basketball, too, and quit football to concentrate on a sport he excelled in.
Sonja Tate was a great basketball player for ASU and recently inducted into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame.
Clyde Scott is a great Arkansan, who was born in Dixie, La.
The list of greats goes on and on, like the opinions I'm getting. It is a very diverse group and very interesting, although a bit tedious and time consuming to read.
This idea was for fun, and I appreciate everyone who has participated and I look forward to revealing the results. That might take a little longer than anticipated, as the response has been far more than expected.
For that, I'm thankful, and apologize I don't have time to respond to every note.

We continue our "Online Olympiad" project in different regions of Armenia.
The aim of the project is:
The volunteers of our project visit to different regions of Armenia, they organize meetings with teenagers on the age of 14-18 and youth, present the projects, inform about their problems, distribute booklets on the activity of online club. In the result the number of new members in online club is being increased. The beneficiaries participated in the project enroll in the club and begin their active participation in the activities of Online Olympiad project. Actually our volunteers have organized "Read and ….." competition. Our former beneficiaries Mariam Saribekyan, Rubina Davtyan and Nare Gareginyan have visited to the regions of Armenia with the aim of organizing meetings.
We have created a virtual educational environment, where the given opportunities of new media are used for the benefit of young people, and the information technologies are used as an active factor in the educational process in which they get the answers of their questions from that environment. The project helped young people to raise their journalist, research and creative skills by using information technologies.
I am Vigen Mkrtchyan. I am a student in the collage of Armenian State Pedagogical University, and at the same time I have participated in "Online Olympiad" project organized by Zartonk-89 NGO. Now we have created online center where I am involved in its works. I and the participants of Olympiad visit to remote regions of Armenia, present our "Online Olympiad" project to involve new members in online center. The young people in the remote regions of Armenia are very interested in our project and they wish to have active participation in it to obtain knowledge and skills on the sphere of media. There are also villages where the Internet connection is not available for young people, they haven't computers but they have great desire to be members in online center. We would like to help them to solve that problem. For solving the mentioned problems we work out different projects and apply for various donor organizations to support these young people.
We have had progress during the implementation of "Online Olympiad" project
Hello, I am Mariam Saribekyan one of the participants of "Online Olympiad" projects organized by Zartonk-89 NGO. Now we have established online club and active participate in club activities. With the help of online club I have had many friends and bright impression. I am sorry for this time I could not participate in the meeting of online club members. At first I would like to thank the organizers of Online Olympiad that they remember me and entrust me such responsible work. I hope I can justify all the hopes of voters and will try to do everything in my power. I think we are all being literate and intelligent people, we will be able to work systematic and expand our horizon as it is in everybody's interests.
The project helped us to improve journalism, research and creative skills with the usage of information technologies.
Hello I am Nare Gareginyan, I study on the 9th form at school N 83 in Yerevan.
I have participated in "Online Olympiad" project on right and journalism organized by "Zartonk-89" NGO. I like to participate in various competitions on educational development, research, and raising the creative mind. I have been awarded with prize on journalism for my done work. "Online Olympiad" project played an important role on my knowledge development and had great experience using information technologies as an educational tool. It developed my research, creative, educational skills.
After the project, I began to use the net assessing its all opportunities. I would like this project to be ongoing to involve youth in bright future with its effective work.
Zartonk-89 NGO implements Online Olympiad program for school age children. Olympiad is implemented in various spheres, where the learners present their research and creative works. The aim of the Olympiad is to assist in teenagers' research ability enhancement with the effective usage of Information Technologies. Olympiad is held in www.armolimp.am. The organization has already implemented Online Olympiad on human rights and journalism spheres. The closing day of the Olympiad was held on 10 December 2011 in Human Rights Day. The best tasks were awarded prizes. In the result of Olympiad New media will be used as a training and educational tool. The teenagers will use the Internet more effectively which will assist in their thinking, creative abilities and they will learn about the usage of new media opportunities and effectiveness. Olympiad will assist in free speech; will create a direct environment for communication. Participating in Olympiad the participants rise new ideas, realize them and acquire professional experiences. It is very important as nowadays the young people use the Internet as an entertainment place and by means of online Olympiad the creative activities of the beneficiaries are increased and media is used as an educational resource. The beneficiaries begin to raise the problems of their community and region, present suggestions, try to solve the problems and have results using the Internet and ICT resources. New media = new education, new spirit and positive result. The children participate in online Olympiad with great pleasure. This project is ongoing: To implement such project, it is pleasure and hard work, as we need resources and financial assistance, and your investment can change everything. I think you realize the project necessity and effectiveness in our society, especially among teenagers.

Highly Elevated Soul
I wrote the story of Highly Elevated Soul after reading the book "Sidhartha" I loved the philosophy of the book and the gentle flow of words that led me to a peaceful state. My mixed media Highly Elevated Soul has a..well..soulful look in her eyes. Her expression conveys emotion..as though she has endured much, even though there are no visible lines on her face. As we go through life, we find there are so many sorrows we must face but we listen to our higher selves and move forward with dignity and grace.
Side View
I created my mixed media Highly Elevated Soul by using the Renaissance technique of oil painting by adding 6 layers of oil paint. She is highly textured and I used beads as embellishment and placed upon her crown. She is 10" wide by 12" high and I have priced her at $125. Hope you like her. To purchase, please e-mail me and we can go from there. I take personal checks or Paypal which uses all the major credit cards.

Black Garlic Sesame Dressing Over Seared Tuna
John, from the co-op across the sidewalk from me on the Farmer's Market, came over to my booth last Saturday and told me that a family member from China served the most luscious dish made with black garlic. Of course, since I have been hearing a lot about it lately, I was anxious to know more. John told me exactly the way it is made in China these days. You won't believe it but it is steamed in a rice cooker for, get this, 9 DAYS! I had my doubts about trying it because I was afraid the rice cooker would quit after a day or so, given that appliances these days have very short life spans. But, I was curious so decided to give it a whirl. I placed as many large garlic bulbs into the cooker as it would allow. I did not peel them but plopped them in whole, as I was instructed to do. Today, the 9 days are up and it is time to open the rice cooker. (it is supposed to stay on warm cycle but mine kept reverting to cook and then back to warm the entire time.
Rice Cooker Filled With Garlic Heads
I was a bit nervous about opening the lid and then slicing the garlic. Would it really be black and would I like the taste? I figured I would since it seems to be all the rage on the food channels and you-tube.
There They Are All Ready to Peel Open
Sure enough, after opening the pot I find that it is dark brown, lighter than I've seen pictures of but still very good. I know I want to add it to a sauce. I am wondering if I need to ferment longer as some sites have claimed that it takes a month. I don't think I could wait that long. Also, the entire house has a curious odor while it is fermenting..John says he puts his in the garage for the 9 days.
Not Jet Black But Dark Brown
Something else that is important for me to mention. Black Garlic has been touted as a powerful anti- cancer preventative. If you want to read more about that added incentive to make your own black garlic, just google 'black garlic and cancer' Different sites claim that it is a powerful antioxident and can heal psoriasis, Increase energy level, fight cancer, can be used as an anti-aging product, and help with sleep.
I am experimenting with many recipes but the one I like the best so far is made by smashing a whole head of the black garlic and adding it to a sesame dressing-then pouring over seared tuna or salmon served cold or warm. I used raddiccio lettuce as a base. It is delicious! I used the dressing I sell at the Farmer's Market here in Roanoke and at the Roanoke market and Greenbriar Farm Market. You can probably use any sesame dressing though. I'm not sure If I will be selling the black garlic because I will have to experiment with storage and longivity first. But, it is simple enough to make yourself and you might just want to drag out the rice cooker in the back of your pantry or purchase a new one. They are very inexpensive. I used a small 12 cup rice cooker but if you get serious about it, you can find the larger ones as well. Have fun!
PS: I heard that the Trader Joe's food store (my favorite) is carrying them but I was not able to find it at the ones in D.C.

Kebechet-Goddess of Purification
Sold. Thank you Shirley!
I've never learned the trick to taking a good picture of a mirror. Either I am shown in the picture or whatever is reflected in the mirror appears big and bold. As I was taking the picture of my Egyptian Goddess Kebechet, I thought of how this applies to life in general. I wrote a story years ago called "Mistflower" "She walked to the edge of the water and saw her reflection. Her people had taught her that we are all the great mirror-simply the reflection of one another." It still seems true to me today. To look at another is really to view oneself. We don't always like what we see but we are hesitant to do anything to change what it is we don't like. We may not like the world in which we live, with all of the many flaws, but what are we doing to make a change? I guess I'm posting about this today because I just finished reading Barbara Kingsolvers book " Flight Behavior." The book addresses global warming and in particular the Monarch butterfly. Not only did I learn a lot about this wondrous winged beauty but I got a lesson in environmental crisis. Of course the book is much more. The wit and humor that Kingsolver uses in her writing makes the story come to life in a way no other author I know of accomplishes.
Goddess Kebechet, the Goddess of purification, is approx 7" wide by 13" high. I sculpted her with stoneware clay, which is kiln fired. The embellishments reflect the golds and blacks that were used on Egyptian sculpture. I have priced her at $78. If you are interested in having her reflect your surroundings, please let me know. You can e-mail me. I take checks or Paypal. Thank you!

"No Regrets" Front View
A new series has been rumbling around in my mind for quite some time. Finally, I finished the first in the 'rebel' series. Urbandictionary gives this meaning for the word rebel. "rebel is a person who stands up for their own personal opinions despite what anyone else says. A true rebel stands up for what they believe is right, not against what's right. It's not about smoking crack, drinking till you're rendered unconsious, or beating the crap out of anyone that crosses your path. It's all about being an individual and refusing to follow a crowd that forces you to think the same way they do even if it means becoming an outcast to society. True rebels know who they are and do not compromise their individuality or personal opinion for anyone. They're straightforward and honest and they will sure as hell tell it like it is." I like this straightforward definition that basically says exactly what it means to be a rebel in todays society.
Side Angle
The names I came up with to describe each female sculpture in my series are, to name a few, "No Compromise" "Who Says" "Why" etc. I'm sure you can think of many more. I named my first in the series, "No Regrets." It says it in her face. She has no regrets to the path she took or is taking in life. She made decisions along the way, after careful analyzing, and knowing that 'the moment of absolute certaintly never arrives', she decided and then stood by her decision.
"No Regrets" is 7" wide x 9" deep and 11" high. I sculpted her in stoneware clay and draped her with a contemporary upbeat fabric. No adornment was needed to convey her countenance. Hope you like her. She is available for $245. I take personal checks or Paypal. Please e-mail me and we can go from there.

Garlic Keeper-Luscious Glaze
Did you know that a research done by the Washington University found that garlic proved to be up to 100 times more effective than most antibiotics? My friend, Kyle, came across this recipe and she knew I would want to try it. It is loaded with garlic and tastes devine. I think I like it even better than my Decadent Garlic Soup recipe and it is a lot easier to prepare. I've included the recipe at the end of this post.
View of Garlic
I've struggled (but had fun too) for the last 3 years to get my garlic to look the way it does this spring. The green tops almost look as high as corn by the 4th of July..knee high! Of course, the proof will be in the pudding when I pluck them out of the ground around mid July. ( It is only early May and my garlic looks like it is ready to harvest-but-harvest time is in mid July! How large will these garlic grow to be. Exciting.
French Garlic-Here is the area where my French Garlic Grows. My Friends, Doug and Mary Gave Me Some Choice Bulbs From Their Garden
My garlic had to be fed an entire breakfast last fall when I planted them..egg shells, coffee grounds. Then there was the moist dark soil that my brother, Jim, I tilled to just the right texture. Now that spring is here, I have had to weed, feed with fish emulsion and remove all the mulch I gave them last fall. Next comes the soil rich in nitrogen and the final wait time. Watering of course, but not too much and hopefully the beautiful scapes will emerge about 3 weeks before harvest. It sounds like a lot of care and actually it is but I hope to reap the rewards in creating braids and more of my garlic sprinkles and other garlic delicacies. Stay tuned for later posts on the harvesting.

As Far As the Eye Can See-Italian Garlic
Here is a recipe for garlic along with one of my garlic keepers which is for sale. It is the perfect way to keep your garlic and makes a wonderful gift. It is 3"wide x 3" deep and 4"high. The glaze turned out luscious. It has brown and beige tones. The lid features one of my original bas -relief faces. It is just $34. If you are interested, just e-mail me and we can go from there. I take personal checks and paypal.
50 peeled garlic cloves
2 T. Butter
2 T. olive oil
2 large diced onions
Thyme, parsley, and a bay leaf
3. C. diced stale bread-crusts removed
1-32 ounce container of chicken broth
1 C. sour cream
Preheat oven to 180. Cut off the top of garlic bulbs, place in aluminum foil and sprinkle olive oil over. Bake for 90 minutes. Cool.
Heat 2 T. of olive oil and some butter in soup pot on medium. Cook onions for 10 minutes, stirring often. Place garlic in food processor and process till smooth. Add to soup pot. Stir well and add herbs, and chicken broth. Place temp on low and add the bread and cook for 5 minutes til bread cubes soften.
Remove herbs from soup pot and blend mixture well until you get a nice and creamy texture. Use a hand held immercer and blend with sour cream. Add salt and pepper to taste. The original recipe called for only 1 cup of broth but mine was too thick so I added more. You can adjust to suit. Mine made about 4 large bowls of soup. It's good to know something that tastes this good is so very good for you. Enjoy.

My own French Macarons
There is something about France that keeps calling me back to her. It might be the glorious old stone buildings, cathedrals and castles or it might be the couture-the clothing there is devine or it might just be the food. 'Mais oui bien sure'- French for "But of course." It's the food.
Chocolate Macaron
I dined on glorious desserts, breads and many of the over 600 types of cheese available throughout France and, did I mention the wine? The wine was plentiful at such good prices I just had to take advantage of it and have my daily dose.
This time, I went to France, primarily, to take a cooking class. My granddaughter went with me and we stayed with my friends Betsy and Chris, who live in Nantes. Believe me, with all the amazing castle jaunts in the Loire Valley (known as the valley of castles) I was lucky to fit the class in! I learned to make the 'oh so French Macarons.' These cookies are sold absolutely everywhere there are patisseries or weekend markets. You see them used to dress shop windows because they are so colorful and whimsical. I must tell you though, they are not that easy to prepare, as we found out. Chris acted as our interpreter for the class since our chef spoke very little English.
Our French Chef
My Granddaughter, Marcy
Piping the Macarons
Betsy and our Interpreter, Chris
After An Afternoon Immersed In Almonds, Sugar, Pistachios, and Gnash, The Cookies Were Ready To Fill.
I made several attempts to recreate the macarons once I got home and finally, with the aid of a silicone baking mat that is marked with circles for the cookies, I was able to achieve the look and taste of French Macarons. Below the recipe, I have added links to 3 of the items I used while making the macarons. I tend to use Amazon because I have little time to shop but I'm sure you can find subsitutes at other local stores.
Here is the translation of recipe for Macarons. Since our ovens are different here, I modified the ingredients and method a bit from the French version I learned in class but the taste and look is the same.
French Macaroons
3 egg whites that have been placed in refrigerator for 2 days (covered with wrap)
2/3 cup of almond flour
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
5 T. granulated sugar
1 t. vanilla extract
l.Preheat oven to 325 degrees and position rack in the center of oven. Most recipes say to line a baking sheet with parchment paper but I found after many trials and error that a silicone baking sheet is best. I found one at Amazon that has circles drawn on them so that you can position batter perfectly. I'm sure others will work as well. You can also use the parchment paper if you prefer and place the silicone mat under the parchment since it is transparant and use the pattern.
2. Sift almond meal and powdered sugar using a hand held colendar with small holes or flour sifter. At this point we used a powdered colorant to keep down the amount of liquid entering mixture. A gel is also recommended for this but not the liquid baking coloring.
3. Place egg whites in a bowl and beat until frothy. Then add 5 T. granulated sugar a little at a time until stiff peaks form. Gently stir in the vanilla. I found the best vanilla ever while in France at an outdoor market. It was called bourbon vanilla. It actually has an abundance of very finely ground vanilla right in the extract.
4. Add the sifted mixture slowly (three separate portions) to the meringue mixture and mix with a spatula, pulling up the mixture along sides of bowl and punching down again and turning bowl until mixture resembles a kind of lava look. You want to get the air out of mixture.
5. Place mixture into a pastry bag or large gallon size zip lock bag. Pipe out 1 1/2" mounds onto silicone sheet and then place on a thin cutting board or sheet and lift in the air and let drop on the counter. This ensures the air is removed and the bottoms achieve the frilly look strived for in macarons, which are called "feet." You can drop the cutting board 2 or3 times. Let sit out for about 15 minutes or until only a small indentation forms in them when you touch.
6. Now turn down oven temp to 300 and preheat. Then, place macarons on baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. Open oven and turn rack around and bake another 5 minutes. Do not overbake. You don't want tops to be brown and do not underbake because they will be too mushy. All ovens are different. Experience will tell you when they are done but I have found that about 10 minutes altogether is perfect. The top should be crunchy and the inside chewy.
7. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack. Assemble with fillings after they cool. They should be placed in the refrigerator for 24 hours, then taken out and allowed to sit on counter for 20 minutes. I have found that they freeze very well and even taste better, if that's possible. The fillings are an important part of the cookie. I make pistachio filling, almond filling, cashew and chocolate gnash filling. You can find hundreds of good ones on line since Macarons are very trendy right now.
I hope this post helps all of you who have struggled with macarons. Remember, I went all the way to France to learn and still had to tweak for my own oven and local ingredients. Have fun and have patience.
I'm selling them on our Farmer's Market now so if you are local, come on down and try them. I think you will be glad you did. Thanks so much for visiting today. Also, please let me know if you have success with this recipe. Don't give up.

I named my latest burning bowl "Daughter of the Forest," after the heroine in a book I am reading of the same title and written by Juliet Marillier. It is from her Sevenwaters trilogy. I normally don't read anything that involves fantasy or myths but since my friend Karen, better known as my book guru, recommended it, I knew I needed to give it a chance. I'm so glad I did. I found that the book is steeped in herbal lore. I have always loved and appreciated all the cures rendered from precious medicinal herbs such as Agrimony, used for sore throats, St, John's Wart for depression, Vetiver for skin care and I was thrilled to learn of many herbs I never heard of. A lot of research went into this book.
The theme of the burning bowl fits right into the story as well. Unity Church has a special ceremony each New Year's Eve. A large bowl is placed at the altar and each member of the church is asked to write down problems or vices they wish to annihilate from their lives. It could be a wish to quit smoking or drinking. It might be a desire to lose weight or to quit any of a number of addictions. Each person places their list into the bowl and at midnight, the bowl is lit. Everyone watches as the fire burns away all the troubles. I can imagine Sorcha, the heroine of the story, using the bowl as she conjures her remedies and sends evil away from the people of her forest.
Changeable Beads
Sorcha features an amazing headdress that I finally had a chance to use. It is made of small beads and safety pins. It's hard to imagine anyone sitting for as many hours as it must have taken to complete let alone the number of times the pins would jab fingers. I had been patiently waiting in my studio for just the right application. The headdress can be positioned in several different ways as shown in the pictures. She is 4" wide x 4 1/2" deep x 8 1/2" high and is an original. I priced her at $68. If you would like to purchase, e-mail me and we can go from there. I take personal checks or Paypal.

Goddess Odelia-Means " Little, Wealthy One" 3"x11"
A friend of mine recommended I change my switch plate covers to wall sculptures. I thought about it and decided to give it a whirl. I may not discontinue the switch plate covers though. I have just finished 3 of the wall sculptures. You will see they are of the same design as the covers but I have taken away the spaces for the switch and added hangers to the back. I rather like them. Here are the first 3 all ready to go. 3 Special Goddesses. I am asking $65. each. I created them with stoneware clay which has been fired in my kiln. I've added embellishments that look as if they have been dredged from antiguity. Each one is an original. Hope you like. If you'd like to purchase, please e-mail me and we can go from there. I accept personal checks and Paypal.

Front View~ I Tried To Capture The Light Coming Through Beads But Could Not Do Justice
Sold. Thanks Yavia!
This may be the most unusual planter I have ever created but when spirit speaks, we artists must listen. The inspiration for Healing Woman came from my friend Wanda K, who gave me a most unusual pair of antique earrings. They looked like devination crystal balls for gazing.
I couldn't wait to incorporate them into my work. Thank you Wanda! I wasn't sure where they would end up but I am pleased that they are now dangling from my healer's hands. I left the backing intact because I think they add to the mystique. The embellishment above her head seemed to fit the theme of the wild and wonderful healer.
Close-Up of Clear Earrings
She is 4" wide by 4" deep and approx. 13" high. I have priced her at $100. She is fairly light so should ship well. I think she would be lovely potted with a trailing herb such as thyme. I hope she finds a really good home with someone who appreciates the work involved in this piece.
Another Front View
Thanks so much for viewing. If you are interested in purchasing, please e-mail me and we can go from there. I accept Paypal and personal checks.
My story of Healing Woman seemed appropriate for her.
Healing Woman
Dredged from antiquity..daughter of fire emerges with the healing power of the ages..Voices lost in time whisper to her of healing on many levels. Energy rises from her very soul as she remembers the responsibility bestowed upon her. She is the Studda Bubba, the witch, the magician and the shaman..the very essence of the healer. She calls upon the great mother to share with her the wisdom of her yield. Knowing she is merely the vehicle of a force far greater than she, and with great integrity, the healing woman delivers her cures as the power moves through her hands of light.

Achemist Burning Bowl
Front View
Sold. Thank you Holly!
The Alchemist is the first burning bowl of the season and fits in well with my Alchemist series. I looked up the definition of alchemy and found it to mean that it can be either a medieval chemical science whereby metals were turned into gold, or a discovery of a universal cure for disease and elixir for prolonging life. So an alchemist would be a person who studies to achieve this goal.
My burning bowls were created to allow the owner a chance to have a burning bowl ceremony which can be personal, or shared with others. Can believing that by burning a paper where ones flaws and bad habits are written really work? This custom appears in many forms. An example would be that the Chinese are known for taking problems into a boat and sending out to sea, thus releasing them to the waters. I have used stained glass in the bowl that has been fired at a high temperature on my kiln, allowing your 'problems' to burn properly. You can use it for incense or a candle when not in ceremony. You may not be able to turn metal into gold but you might be able to clear the slate for a more worry free existence in this life.
Back View
I'm proud that I have kept my price the same for my burning bowls since the first one (all different of course) many years ago. Just $68. She is 4" wide x 5" deep and 9" high including the crystal. I used sparkling crystals and a wing embellishment. I hand sculpted her out of stoneware clay. You can e-mail me if you'd like to purchase. I take Paypal and personal checks. Thank you so much for taking the time to view and read.

Alchemist Tea Vessel
Sold. Thank you Lisa!!
The 'Alchemist' is the name I have given to the first of my new series for 2016. Here you see my new tea vessel. Her eyes tell all. She is mysterious, mesmerizing and spellbinding. I can visualize a personal tea ceremony or one as described below.
Old Lock Used As Part of Lid
Enchantment found it's way to the table where the Goddess Ceremonial Tea Vessel was placed. Three friends were drawn to help initiate a healing. The pungent herbal aroma from the mysterious vessel containing the special roots and herbs chosen fresh from the garden permeated the air. The elixir was steeped to perfection and the cups were filed. Each Goddess inhaled the scent of the tisanes which opened their sensory perception as they gazed at the fascinating original clay Goddess face that was sculpted into the vessel. All were oblivious to their surroundings and time was lost to antiquity as they partook of this special potion, all the while awaiting for the magic to unfold.
Back of Vessel
My tea vessels are each an original. I hand sculpt them using stoneware clay. The Goddess faces are sculpted in the bas-relief method. I used a lead free glaze on each vessel. The Alchemist is approx 10" wide by 5" deep by 7 high including the lid top. I used an old door lock with an ancient brass key for the lid. The glaze is a rich copper/teal/turquoise. It's hard to describe the color but the picture is accurate. . About 4 cups of tea can be brewed and I made the spout drip proof. I have priced her at $125. A lot of work was involved and I think whoever owns her will consider her a treasure. If you are interested in purchasing, I take peronal checks or Paypal. Just e-mail me and we can go from there.
To brew tea:
The best way to brew tea for vessel is to place cold water in another microwavable container. Heat water and then pour into vessel in which either tea bags or a tea strainer or tea ball has been placed. Place lid back on and allow to steep for 5 minutes or so. Serve. (Be sure to hold the lid as you pour the tea.)
Care of Tea Vessel:
Because of the various embellishments placed into the vessel, it is best not to place in dishwasher or microwave but instead use the tea vessel to steep and serve. I have used lead free glaze on the interior of each pot so that it is safe to drink the tea and after finishing, running hot water inside the pot releasing any tea having lodged there is all that is needed to keep sanitary.

"Grandmother Tree"
Sold. Thank you Yavia!
Each January when I make my New Years "Revolutions" I create a special column for all the new items I want to create with my sculpture for the coming year. There is always a new series in the works. This year is no different. I have many exciting ideas for several new series for 2016. In order for me to start fresh, I always feel as though I should sell what remained from the previous year. (or a lot of it anyway) Does that make sense? I think many artists think this way. It is sort of a clearing of the brain to allow for future 'brainstorms' so to speak.
Most of the art pieces I am listing have absolutely nothing wrong with them. Perhaps they did not get shown all year or were somehow overlooked. Orphans in a sense. I am giving a description of each item and price I had listed for with the new on sale price. If you see something you would like to have, please e-mail me and let me know. If for some reason the link for my e-mail does not work, here is the exact e-mail. firstname.lastname@example.com These are very, very good prices. Most come with one of my stories I write for them. Hope you enjoy viewing. I take checks or Paypal. Thank you so very much!
Grandmother Tree is approx 17" high x 7" wide x9" deep. I hand sculpted her from stoneware clay which was kiln fired and then added all of the driftwood and moss embellishments.
She is a spectacular bargain since I had her priced originally at $225 and now offer her to you for $145. She would make a lovely accent piece in a bay window, on a screened porch, altar, etc.
Chinese Herbalist Tea Vessel
Sold. Thank you Lisa!
7" wide x8" high x 4" deep. This teapot features a luscious chocolate glaze and one of my original faces created from stoneware clay. Would make a lovely gift for anyone versed in the art of tea ceremonies. Holds about 1 1/2 cups of tea. She was $89. but since I've had it for awhile I have decided to let go for $55. Teapots are the hardest thing I do with my sculpture. There is so much detail! This one is lovely.
Earthwalker bas-relief vessel.
A Srong original bas-relief face is featured on the top of this box. Size is 10 1/2" wide x 6" deep x 4" high. She can be used to store all sorts of things or propped upright and used as a sculpture. I have finished the inside with a brocade fabric and the outside front features an ingrained wooden relief. Price was $110. but I will sell for $69. A bargain!
Oceana Planter
Sold. Thank you Leisa!
Most of my smaller planters sell each summer season but Oceana for some reason unbeknown to me, is still available. She was priced at $78. but on sale now for $45. She holds a good size herb or trailing plant. Drainage hole is in bottom. Artificial plant not included. She is approx 5" wide x 5" deep x 12" high.
2 Art Dolls
Every once in awhile I like to experiment with small art dolls. These two seated dolls are cute and add a bit of whimsy to wherever you place them. They are approx7" high x 7" wide by 8" deep. The first one (with purple hair) is Polly. She has elf ears and bendable cloth body. The second one is Olga (orange hair) She reminds me of a doll I received as a child. This doll was from Poland and I remember loving to toss her around. So I made Olga toss proof-just in case. Dolls similar have sold for $85- $100, but I will sell each of them for $40 or both for $70. They are so cute.
Music was my Refuge
Sold. Thank you Lisa!
I created a collage around a Maya Angenu quote. I used musical notes then painted one of my faces-this one is hauntingly mysterious- and crackled the entire thing. She is 8" wide x 10" high and has a 1 1/2" width for easier hanging. I used a good grade cradle birch wood base for her. I actually love this one and was tempted not to sell her but I am anyway. Must move on. She was $89 and on sale now for $55.
Angel of Sacrifice
She is part of my angel series. For some reason the larger angels sell a lot more slowly than the smaller ones. Probably because of price but I'm not sure. I changed this one around a few times-changed color of hair etc- so hopefully someone will want to enjoy her in their home with her new hair do. I used the method I learned while studying in Italy for the halo and Renaissance Oil method for face and painted her on a secure board with a hanger for hanging in the back. She is 13" wide x 18" high and about 1" deep. The series runs close to $200 for this size but I have her for sale for $90.
Within the Within.
After I fired the face for "Within the Within" I noticed that one eye was...well..missing? I decided to camouflage by pulling hair (horsehair) over it. Then I started reading a series of books about a Native American elder who had one eye (Spirit Song by Mary Rain Tree) I decided that she was really came out the way she was supposed to so I renamed her "Grandmother No-Eyes." Her stoneware clay face is adorned with grey horsehair, turquoise and a rich black and cream brocade. She is quite large-14" wide x 36" high and 6" deep-approx. I have priced her from $200 down to $100. I think you will enjoy this piece. You can also see her on the right hand side of my blog with a link for other bloggers to add to their blogs.
Goddess Ceremonial Altar` "Stardust Woman"
I just finished this piece not too long ago and posted her on my blog. She was priced at $110 but I had no takers. She is 4" wide x 4" deep x 11 1/2" high. She can be used in ceremony as an altar or for candle or incense. I'm pricing her at $65. Really a good price, especially for all the work involved!
Blooming Spirit
Sold. Thank you Trish!
She is 11" wide x 14" high and 1 1/2" deep. I created this mixed media painting on a birch board with deep cradle sides for easier hanging. I used oils, encaustic wax and dried flowers from my garden. I've had her hanging in my own home for several years and now is the time for me to share her. She was $135-(I think) and I am offering her for $85.
Morning Song
Sold. Thank you Barb!
This is a beautiful, very textured piece. I sculpted one of my original stoneware faces for her and adorned her with horsehair, mudcloth from Africa and a beautiful stone head piece. She is approx 12" wide x 22" high and about 2" deep. She is very rich and earthy. I had $185-then dropped to $145 and now will sell her for $89! Someone will be very happy with her.
Doran Planter
Sold. Thank you Yavia!
It's unusual for me to have a planter for 2 seasons! Everyone seems to buy around her and I'm waiting for someone to love her and give her a good home. She is all stoneware clay and can be kept outside during the summer. She is approx 6" x 6" x 12" high and was $89. I am selling her for $55.
"Lace Reader"
I read a book about lace readers that intrigued me. There are actually woman who read fortunes by looking at lace. The book is called Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry. It was a fascinating read and I felt I just had to paint her. She is approx 15" wide x 18" high and 1 1/2" deep for easier hanging. I painted her using acrylics onto a wood framed canvas. She is mysterious and her story is spellbinding. I priced her $300. because she took so long to do but now have decided to let her go for $155. Her coloring goes well with most decor.
Native American switch plate cover
Sold. Thank you Kayla!
I've had this switchplate cover forever. Everyone lifts it up and says how much they love it but I guess they don't want to pay the price. She was $58 and then I dropped the price to $45. Still no takers. So now-just $25. It will allow me to go on and make more of my covers knowing this one has a good home.
Penelope Pin Cushion
Pure and simple, this was a pattern but I changed it around to make it my own. She is so fun to have near your sewing machine. I used bone hands and one of my original faces plus ineresting cloth and saying on her back side. I sold similar ones for $42. but will sell her for $22. She's wild with her red and purple hair. Dimensions are approx 9"x9"
Quote on Back of Penelope
I named this piece after one of my Hopi teachers. She features one of my clay faces, horsehair and a woven backing. She was $78-now $45. I've pretty much discontinued this style and she is the last of this series.
She is from my Oceana series. I created this mixed media painting on a solid birch board and used encaustic wax and oils She is 11" wide x 15" high. She has a serene look and will bring peace to any room she is placed. She was $165-Now $90.
Philosophy Art Doll-Change is Growth
I've been creating these little art dolls for several years now. They can be hung on the wall or at a window or anywhere else you'd like to add a bit of whimsy and fun to your life. (You can't help but smile whenever you walk by them) They make a wonderful little gift for someone who needs some cheering. I'll be making more soon but she is the only one available right now. She is 9" high and about 6" wide (depending on how you place her moveable arms and legs) They sell for $28. but I'm letting this one go for $15.
Oceana Mirror
Sold. Thank you Shirley!
Last Oceana piece to list. She is 7" wide x 10" high. Makes a nice accent piece for bathroom or anywhere. She was $78-Now $50.

Mining Publication: Analysis of Acoustic Responses of Domal Salt Mine Samples
Original creation date: January 1990
The Bureau of Mines has developed an acoustic test for determining if a rock salt sample is from a "normal" nongassy salt face or from a gassy face where an outburst has the potential to occur. The test is based on the observation that a salt sample taken near an outburst-prone zone produces an audible popping sound when it is dissolved in water. The sound is produced when pressurized gas that is trapped in salt samples is released. In the acoustic test, the sound is electronically measured, digitized, and transmitted to a microcomputer; the output is an average decibel value that classifies the sample as "normal" or "outburst." The acoustic test procedure and equipment are described, and raw test results and data analysis are shown. Results are also shown for several salt samples that were analyzed using a laser Raman microprobe.

We stayed at this Fairfield Inn overnight on a visit to Hershey Park. I am being generous with the Very Good rating as the negatives I encountered were not really the fault of the hotel staff itself. The location is not bad although a little misleading as it is really not located on Chocolate Avenue but a block off of Chocolate avenue and about a mile walk to the center of town where the Hershey Museum and a couple of restaurants are located. I would have missed the hotel driving down Chocolate Ave if I had not been paying attention to the actual street address / GPS. However, the location was very convenient driving to and from the Park. The hotel is new as of April 2013 according the front desk staff. I found it to be very clean, with friendly and hospitable staff, and the breakfast buffet was well maintained with nice selections. The big negative for me was the AC unit in the room. It was a window unit with digital controls on the wall. It was really loud as it cycled on and off. I tried to adjust the fan so that it would just stay on but was unsuccessful trying to do that quietly in the dark not waking my family. For that reason I did not have a restful night sleep. Otherwise, the hotel is a nice option for families looking to save a little or wanting to stay with a Marriott property in Hershey.

Katanagatari (TV)
Go back to Katanagatari main page
The March ending theme marks the very first time prolific anime/VG song lyricist Hata Aki performs the vocals for her own song in an broadcasted anime. (Her other known vocal performances centres around theme songs for video games)
The story could very well be inspired by the legends surrounding the Muramasa swords forged by the Muramasa family.
In episode 2, Despite sounding very exotic and Japanese the background music that plays when the 2 main characters are walking in the desert is actually Vietnamese. If listened carefully especially from 19:30 - 20:00, you can hear the words Ao Dai being repeated in the song which is one of the Vietnamese traditional dresses.

And absolutely inspirational.
She makes the complicated - simple.
She makes the difficult - doable.
She makes the impossible - reachable.
This is the kind of book you can just keep on your coffee table. Thumb through it when you need a pick-me-up. The chapters are short and elegant. Just read a few pages - and she'll make your day.
The subtitle is "some things I have taught and learned as a life coach," and I'm sure that is absolutely true. However, the wisdom and solid, deep truth in this book goes so far beyond what many people think of as "life coaching." I know there are a lot of life coaches out there, and many, many great ones (and I know some of them!) -- but there also a lot of "pseudo-coachy" people who are -- at worst -- trying to get your money, or -- at best -- so busy concentrating on concrete, worldly things like goal-setting, disciplining yourself, and getting ahead that the transformational aspect of coaching gets lost in the exercises and striving. That is not Brooke, or this book.
At the risk of sounding like I'm exaggerating -- Brooke Castillo is a modern-day wise soul. If Kahlil Gibran was a twenty-first-century American soccer mom, he would write things like this. Brooke has done the work and there is nothing she says that is not authentic, real, poignant, and true on a deep level. I love the work of Byron Katie (whose ideas Brooke has been inspired by and has drawn on) but I often feel like I can't achieve that kind of rarefied enlightenment in this messy world, in my messy life. Brooke brings it down to an approachable level. I can relate to her and her life. I leave her writing feeling like what she has done, I can do, too. I don't have to wait for some moment of divine awakening that may or may not come -- I can do this work, and awaken myself, day by day, while still living in the real world.Read more ›
YOU ROCK BROOKE. 5 Stars over and over again.....
Allowing what is to be without trying to shape or reconfigure it is a true gift. To be able to stand in the middle of your life, in a sea of work, details, lists, goals, bills-the messy continuum of daily living, and have the reassurance and insights that validate everything is happening exactly as it is supposed to, is like having your brain turn into a cup of peppermint tea. Soothing relief. For those of us who are trying to catch up to who we should be, it's a tranquil dose of appreciation for right now. I read a bit every few days and feel empowered and clear.

Great WW recipe! Went together with ease. The vegetable soup mix (I used Knorr's) really kicked it up a notch. I cut this down to serve 2 peoples. I have enough of the soup mix to make 3 more times. I will be adding cerley, onions and some pickles next time. Made for PAC Fall 07'. Thanks, AshK for posting.
Soup-er easy too! I used my favorite vegetable soup mix (Knorr's, and it has a really terrific spinach dip recipe on the back - I always get compliments when I make it). I used 1 lb. white potatoes, 1/4 cup reduced-calorie mayo, and 2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar. The Knorr's spinach dip packet is 1.4 ounces, so I sort of guessed at the right amount to use, but I think I ended up with more than a third of the packet. I think the type of vegetable soup mix you use is important to the outcome. Next time I may play around with this, add some pickles or celery or other seasonings if I am so inclined. Thanks!
This was good. I like to used red, but couldn't find organic, so used white. Used Recipe Secrets veg. soup mix. The mayo mix easily makes enough for 3 lbs of potatoes. I had over 2 1/2 lbs and it was still alot of sauce. Made with Apple Butter-Glazed Chicken. Great combo.

We arrived here at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon. To cut a long story short the staff were rude and stroppy! We'd eaten our starters before the drinks arrived and they arrived wrong! But the food is lovely. The actual restaurant is a bit poky. I'd recommend the food but i wouldn't dash back myself.
Nice, supple, Italian pizza. Excellent variety of toppings and good wine list too.
