Regarding AI- I'm also on the mailing list for Creative Fuel with Anna Brones. She's a paper craft artist specializing in beautiful, elaborate cut paper artwork. In her letter today, she closed with the following (talking about a handmade ravioli press):
"There was the time it took to craft the pieces, to make the designs, carve the wood. But then there was the future work of the person who would buy these pieces. The person who would mix together a dough, prep a filling, make ravioli one piece at a time. A slow process, a long process, a handmade process.
I almost ordered one right then and there, not because I was about to get into pasta making but simply because it stood for something greater. Craft, labor, care.
Three things that are part of the human experience.
None of which can be optimized.
All of which take time."
This made me think of you! She talks about craft and slowing down and taking time, all things that you've spoken about so eloquently. I think you'd like what she has to say.
Beautiful remimagining! Would love a framed peice some day! Flight to Vancouver was really choppy. Couldn't draw a straight line...showed the felling of linear turbulence though. So happy I will meet you again tomorrow for your signing on Granville Island. Your Bainbridge Island friend...Janice
Hi When is the first course Drawing with Tiny People - being offered? I am traveling shortly after and wondered on the dates
Thanks
At the end of this month!

That is wonderful. I am also trying to get into more crafts this year and next with the same intentions. Thank you for sharing it, Gena!
Will you be able to attend my event in Portland next week??
My plans changed so I’m going to try very hard! I was supposed to be out of town but with flights being unreliable, I’m home. See you Thursday!
Mixed bag, but I’ll take it! See you soon ☺️

Hi Janice, sorry we had little time to speak at the event! Did you have a better stay in Vancouver than the last time??
It was completely different. Loved every minute. It was great to see you too! Here's to your continued success!
Phew! I am so glad to hear that! 😂
Curious to see the lines when we meet. See you tomorrow Janice!
