crafts and coping

Have you ever thought about how the creative process helps us cope with new situations?
We learn from our failures.
We adjust to our resources.
We celebrate and build on our successes.

Bertha

This is a picture of “Bertha”.  “Bertha” was “birthed” while we were away and our daughter, then in college, was house sitting for us.  “Bertha” began as an unusually shaped potato.  Other defining parts came from our “junk” drawer and were applied with hot glue.  “Bertha” still exists!…after about 25 years of dehydration on our sunny dining room window shelf.  Her face is now all scrunched up like a really old lady.
