Introduction I collect pefect sticks, dead bugs, all manner of pods, and books. On Saturday afternoons I sometimes listen to old country records and make bread. I grow vegetables and dream of keeping chickens. I make art, take walks with my husband, cook nourishing food, and like cleaning my floors. I love to be with children, to laugh with them, to listen to them talk, watch them dance, and make art with them.
Interests paper, wax, cheese cloth, type, text, print, old wood, string, machine parts, rabbits, birds, scientific illustrations, vintage childrens books, tiny things, wire, seeds, feathers, handwriting, red things, broken things, forgotten things.

Which is easier to make a model airplane out of and why: a banana peel or a wet sock?

A wet sock. After a while that banana peel is going to get pretty stinky, also fruit flies are not a problem with the wet sock, and you would be doing something constructive with all those extra socks that end up without mates!
