Rock, paper birch, bone
This is the North Country and nothing is exactly the way it might be anywhere else. Katherine has been experimenting with scanner image-making, and has sent us her latest still life. I have a feeling she’s onto something here.
Katherine’s hedgehog
August 3, 2010
Katherine does not waste words. Not much to say about these, she wrote. I just liked the graphic when I eliminated most of the color. She did not mention the bee. Two or three years ago I came home from Providence Farm with my CSA share and a bonus: a dried flower that, like these, […]
On Verdant Ground
July 13, 2010
All my letters from Katherine are full of wonderfully quirky things, but this one is special.

June 18, 2010
Katherine was visiting her Aunt Betty and captured the ever-changing display that lives on the kitchen windowsill. I think it’s absolutely mesmerizing. Bonnie, Beloved of Bob, is going to love it. And here I am on a Thursday afternoon scheduling Friday’s post! Thank you Katherine, most excellent fence-painter.
