5/13/2012 1 Comment Maker Faire and Annular Solstice Unfortunately I did not get picked to be at the Bazaar Bizarre this year. On the other hand, I could enjoy the Maker Faire with my family. Thanks to the Exploratorium handing out solar viewing glasses we could follow the whole process. Got some cool pics of sun/moon shadows. 2/29/2012 2 Comments Chickens!We found a stray chicken in the street behind our house. We eventually caught her, not easy because she was quite a good flyer. I am now learning about chickens and planning a chicken coop. Was amazing when the chicken after two weeks suddenly decided to lay a daily egg. Have also been busy learning to knit. Thought I should as a hommage to fibers and wool. Made a pair of socks, not perfect, but warm and cozy. 1/26/2012 2 Comments I found another make-art-from-plastics-washed-ashore website: beachplastic.come:This is your new blog post.

This summer in Colorado I visited a store that was selling what was basically wool from the armpits of baby buffalo. Extremely soft and expensive. On the web I now found the most exclusive wool: from the arctic muskox, the Qiviuk (good scrabble word!). It does not shrink, and can not be used for felting, however. 9/8/2011 0 Comments Post Title.Really like this site and hope to see the exhibit:
