About me

Gender Female
Occupation working to pay the mortgage
Location Jaffa, Israel
Introduction I moved to Jaffa seven years ago, and have loved every minute of it! My friends know that when I start grinning like a fool I am about to say... "I love my neighbourhood!" or something very similar. I have been a chef in Canada, a scuba diving instructor in Grand Cayman, a vagrant in India, a house painter in Florida, and have wandered around whenever and wherever I could. All ceramics and pottery on this site are handmade by me.
Interests Pottery, sailing, scuba diving, cooking, bike riding, wandering aimlessly, losing myself in strange cities
Favorite Movies Apocalypse Now, Blade Runner, The Wizard of Oz
Favorite Music Nine Inch Nails, Manu Chao, Mano Negra, Steve Miller, CSNY, Rage Against the Machine, Beethoven, Bach, and the rest of the boys...
Favorite Books The Bone People, Lord of the Rings, Running in the Family

Wild black raspberries grew along with regular red ones on the hill across the valley below my childhood home. Overdying the red of the scratches that the thorns had given us, they stained our lips and fingers blue.
