I have always loved the feel of fine leather and am intrigued by it as a sculptural medium. For me, creating mythic creatures from materials that have had a previous life is ultimately appropriate. I honor the stories embedded in the materials, be they leather, stone, old textiles, or beads, and honor the sources. May they encourage your sense of adventure and the creation and sharing of story.

Come out to Northampton this weekend, May 23-25, and say hello to the FAF brigade (Frogs Against Fascism) in Booth #618. Their motto: "Resist with a Ribbit" and talk to Wendy about the sculpted leather journal workshop she is giving this Fall at Snow Farm Oct. 15-18.
