Call Your Girlfriend
but every single time
I watch these girls
I really wish
I was standing in that kitchen.
Perfecto.

from EEP
Over the years I have been the lucky recipient to bits and pieces
from my Grandfather's (E. Edson Poler)
art supplies, kits, sketch books and things like that.
I adore this box of pastels, untouched, and had to share with you on this rainy day.
I would have loved for him to visit my studio, pull up a stool and share his life with me. My Grandfather would be 104 this month.

Marbling Magic
Adding the water based ink to the water bath, drop by drop,
aiming for the floating paper disc.
Carefully swirling the trails of ink on the water's surface.
Placing the paper on water's surface until it absorbs ink.
Pulling paper off when edges have curled up.
We LOVE marbling at Beehive.
We explore this marbling method a couple of times a year,
and when we do, it is always a big huge favorite.
It is magical, the way the ink adheres to the paper via the waters surface.
The children have control over how much ink and
which color combinations they want to use.
There's no telling what the print will look like, but it almost doesn't matter
because the process to get there is over the moon.

C is for CITRUS
I am loving citrus these dry wintery days and cannot go a day without.
Grapefruit alone or blended in my green drink,
lemon on everything, lemon water, lemon and ginger tea, lemon on salads,
and oodles of oranges. slurp!
