A “Repurpose” for a Peculiar Gem

I didn’t know about these gems until I took piano lessons a while back. After my teacher refurbished her piano, she gave me the piano guts she would never need again. But I needed these beautiful wooden treasures that made a piano work. I took an entire box then pondered what to do with them–the action/repetitions inside a piano.

To see them in a cool, animated action watch this.

Anyway, from them, I made “The Painter”

A friend of mine recently visited The Broad museum in Los Angeles and shared this painting with me. I LOVE IT!

So much creativity, this man, Jean-Michel Basquiat, who I shamefully had never heard of, died much too early.

Our Seeds are Growing and We Will Be Watching!

I do believe that all the marchers on Saturday were part of an Oversight committee. We will keep our eyes on the new President, while our hands remain over our hearts.

How I love this piece of art by Louisa Cannell!
