Superclusters

 Sharing the work of Rachelle Gardner

"Billboards are typically utilized as a way of advertising commercial products or services on a large scale. Playing on this idea, these images for the Missouri Bank Art Boards (Fall 2012) represent the largest structures in the universe presently known to mankind. In a time filled with economic gloom, where one debt crisis after another rises to the surface of our attention, it is easy to lose perspective on the true scale of things. Perhaps a reminder is in order for what constitutes a big deal on a universal level and the biggest deal of all is, in fact, galaxy superclusters." Quote from Rachelle Gardner

Wicked Stitch Yarn & Fiber

There is a shop in Wamego Kansas that I have never been to.  But they keep posting these great projects on Facebook.  Here is the latest that I love.  What a great use for a yarn stash.

Dogs Of Dreamtime

Dogs of Dreamtime was loaned to me by a friend with the prediction of, “This is your kind of book.” Her prediction proved to be correct. At first, I think I was a bit skeptical that the author’s original Sheltie Kiera, could come back in the form of a second dog. By the middle of the book I was a believer.

Karen Shanley has written a memoir of her life with three dogs with some very special coyotes. It is mystical, spiritual, and will bring a few tears. Dogs of Dreamtime will resonate with you if you have ever loved and lost a dog. 

After returning the copy back to my friend, I decided I couldn't live without it on my bookshelves.  Not only do I now have my own copy, it is a hard back. Yea for ABE books!  

Karen Shanley now writes a blog titled Author Mom with Dogs (http://karenshanley.com/blog/). I enjoyed her book and am now enjoying her blog.
