Sunday Excursions: All over the place


Whenever I go through my Sunday Excursions folder, a loose theme often presents itself. No such luck this week. We're all over the place.

My stepmother lives in Vermont and is a fine and accomplished artist. Lately, she's been creating sculpture with wood. Her primary tool is a chainsaw. She weighs all of 110 pounds and handles that saw like it was a toothbrush. She has some nice metalwork, too.

This is one of the best interpretations I've heard and unlike other video versions, there's a welcome lack of some dweeb trying to explain it all to you. Sorry about the missing second. I guess it was cut off.

Your mum sounds like a very interesting person. Thanks for sharing her work.

Indeed she is. One talented lady. She publishes her own magazine and she's turned down offers from big corps to buy it.

She's originally from Toronto.

She's Canadian? That explains her fabulousness :-)
