Earth as an element!

10 months of 8:00 to 5:00 pm(!..yeah 45 hrs/week) back breaking job and not to forget the completion of whole one year season's cycle. Could I just say "Kudos!"

Just when I am about to pat myself on figuring out the nuances of being self sufficient I am thrown off guard with the numerous (im)possibilities of my wonderful self!
One of the main reasons behind taking up the job offer in Maine was familarising myself with natural construction materials.
This summer I am planning to cool off myself with clay. I am astounded by the sheer capability of earth and water combination!
To realize the potential of this intriguing element....Joined Lincoln Art Center where the cute guy on the front desk emails me everyweek with their center's updates.

More on this post when I rotate the wheel.


Nah......instead sawed logs.

Went to woods in Maine with a group of 19 people and 3 instructors. On a warm Saturday day I literally chopped woods from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm in a jungle in Maine. The team consisted of eager participants who had never sawed before to professional interior designers. For me, I had done interior designing on paper and on site verbally but never had been to the woods to chop them!

The whold day was 'wood'some with blisters on my palm but at the end made a 2' X 2' coffee table. Sold it off to Goodwill for $32! Man it wasn't the best piece of work but then it was mine ;-).

This experience opened up other channels mainly industrial design! Next am trying to enroll myself in metal sculpting/welding classes!
