grew up not knowing about the “Fruit of the Gods”, Persimmons or
their amazing properties and uses which have been explored and
appreciated, since the 12<sup>th</sup> century within Japan and
Korea, and well used by both until the 19<sup>th</sup> century, on
cloth, thread, tools, bamboo, paper, stencil making, woodwork and to
waterproof leather. Persimmon astringent has now come back into
focus as globally, alternatives to chemical dye process, water
quality and environmental wellness intersect. Persimmon astringent
is antifungal, antimicrobial and antioxidative with numerous other
properties that has led to global research into the medical and
environmental support uses as these protective properties are
maintained on surfaces when applied.</span></p><p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">

with my third year of exploring Morning Glory flowers for dye and
print, I came across a few short references to persimmon dye. I knew
that it had to be a thing because of the beautiful persimmon leaf
print I obtained from a bundle dye made over a decade ago. The
revisiting of my fabric process (an annual thing) found me reflecting
back on the persimmon leaf print and considering what other dye
secrets might be held within the tree.</span></p>

kaki, whose</span> fruits are very small in comparison to Asian
varieties used for dye. Still, I wondered if there might be similar
pigments to be extracted from my type of astringent persimmon. My
web search led to very few explorations into the use of the American
persimmon for dye, and none that I found were satisfied with their
dye results. I did find one person working with fermented Japanese
Kakishibu (see links). My continued research revealed useful
information from Korean and Japanese sources pertaining to using
fermented persimmon juice. My search eventually led me to a
traditional Korean process using green persimmon.</span></p>

dyeing in Asia is called Kakishibu – Kaki is persimmon, shibu means
astringent and it produces a variety of light to deep amber colour
from unripe astringent persimmons. It does not need a mordant on
cotton or linen and the color deepens over a month or more and with
exposure to the sun. Depending on how much persimmon is applied, the
surface will have a light to deep amber coating that will darken over
time. </span></span>

gathered fallen green persimmons beginning in mid July of this year.
I began by following the simplest traditional processing technique,
that of pounding the persimmons with a wooden mallet. I began my
process traditionally but I had to use a blender, which turned out
very well. I worked with the green persimmons through the season
ending in the early part of September 2023 as the fruits shifted from
being astringent toward being ripe.</span></span></span></p>

sixty pounds of organically grown Concord grapes! Yes, this is our season
of abundance, and I am thankful for it. My friends knew immediately that this
was much more grapes than they could handle. Being very framily minded,
they reached out, contacts were made to share in this bounty; and I was one to receive some

what do Concord grapes have to do with fiber art? You may already

The red and purple pigments in the Concord grape skin are nutrient rich and also make a fabric dye.</span></p><br /><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="gmail-separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/#" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="444" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFeZhy-9O9-wxEnOwZ54dUc_YTYoXuj9C3no0zRjhixlsQJ12WVV8SwzUdjHZS6ttx7kSruyQ2GONn2wagYwYvqB4kl39-P0hyFqP1Pe_9SUrTesCSS-F3XhnbZ5rZQGXlw2Kccn9-zEI34XKp1IfdHGQuTc2nnu9rafXFRTkjayr56UTPEag7Fsuq/w649-h444/concordjuicebottled.jpg" width="649" /></a></div><br /><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>This is the juice fresh from the steam juicer before placing it onto the steam canner tray.</i><br /></span>

</span><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Beginning
with the discards from the juice, a mixture of stems, unripe green
grapes and ones unsuitable, I steam juiced the lot of it and had about a
quart of
dye juice. Since I was experimenting with mordants, I added one
tablespoon of Citric Acid, stirred to
dissolve, then placed in different types of white fabrics, being sure to
submerge them all. Of course, the first into the dye bath is the first
to begin absorbing the pigments. </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">As
an afterthought, I decided to toss
in a piece of old orange cotton sheet with the Itajime clamp technique.
This lot of fabric was simmered for about twenty minutes before removing
the pan from the heat and leaving it overnight to improve (I hoped)
pigment absorption. I was a little concerned
that being in the container overnight would destroy the Itajime
design, but I was happily wrong. Something I find after a half century
(no kidding) of upcycling, that often washed fabrics readily take in
pigments.<br /></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana;">

a white vinegar rinse, citric acid rinse, a baking soda rinse, and a
dish detergent only soap rinse, testing both cold and hot water; to
see what were some possibilities within the range of color. Baking
soda modified color toward blue to purple gray. I achieved retention
of the most grape color with the cold soap water rinse. I usually
explore sea salt and will get to that another time.

It has taken a while to get back here. So, begin again. <br /></span></p><p><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Wow! If ever there was a time to work together as a nation, it is now! <br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There will never be getting back to usual due to Chronavirus and the National insurrection!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Wow! Past events caused me to shudder in sadness. That such a mob
insurrection could be allowed to occur by one who was supposed to cherish
and protect our government. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">That some called "legislators for the people</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">"</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> continue misuse of power with actions to disenfranchasize citizen voting rights.</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Even as a few damaged threads and hearts unravelled in such a sad way; we the
people still shout a great yes toward seeking a just and working democracy; in seeing ourselves as something kinder, more loving,
inclusive with a willingness to work together as beings upon this planet. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The work of coming together will try us in deep ways. With individual willingness to open and grow then with our collective strength, </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">commitment, </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">love, justice, respect and kindness we can direct</span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> our own threads toward hope and loving possibility</span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">.</span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> With our working
together we can heal from a disparate past. Though deeply hurt and recently further frayed, our rope
of many fibers holds strong.

awesome in your own way; embrace love, kindness, generosity, compassion,
equality and justice. Be willing to explore the woven, stitched, colored, detailed, fermented, kneaded, penned,
printed, carved or pleated on this journey of recovery
before us. And may we be moved by a most loving spirit, and live our awesome selves. <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">#quilterscomfort, #belovedcommunity, #quilting, #63suffragistsofcolor, #suffragists, #quilt, #surfacedesign, #grunwaldgallery, #patriciaccolemanart, #BGQ, #AQS, #surfacedesignorg, #blackartist, #spoonflowerfabric, #quilter, #artquilt <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1676867250855155626.post-35550789933311348362020-12-06T04:45:00.004-05:002020-12-08T17:36:19.188-05:00 63 Suffragist of Color<p style="text-align: left;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEQ04u4MoVQ6HntPAsgCXAHQ4dACCp5ftUr5cvg386DbUt5jSBtsKkZPbBi3pn4s2PhzN1KY6DVQxB4rGIqyWPU1iTtYrAzExZIt9tHe6Qo66oxfZRr6eQEFYTXE0hIwlTMcgCsO8DJLHR/s2048/63+suffragist+of+Color+Quilt+-+share.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1557" height="715" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEQ04u4MoVQ6HntPAsgCXAHQ4dACCp5ftUr5cvg386DbUt5jSBtsKkZPbBi3pn4s2PhzN1KY6DVQxB4rGIqyWPU1iTtYrAzExZIt9tHe6Qo66oxfZRr6eQEFYTXE0hIwlTMcgCsO8DJLHR/w543-h715/63+suffragist+of+Color+Quilt+-+share.png" width="543" /></a></p>

63 Suffragist of Color by Patricia C. Coleman <br />
</p>
<p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Chalkboard, serif;">I’m sure that you have heard it said
by others for any number of reasons that a </span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Chalkboard, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-US">project</span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Chalkboard, serif;">
took them places never imagined. </span>

<p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</p>
<p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Chalkboard, serif;">It was doing a random web search on
quilting I came across the Bloomington Quilters Guild’s posting
about a suffrage quilt exhibit call. My interest was sparked and
immediately began considering ideas which led to a bit of reflecting
back to my </span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Chalkboard, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-US">youth</span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Chalkboard, serif;">
visiting the Frederick Douglass </span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Chalkboard, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-US">museum</span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Chalkboard, serif;">

twin brothers as a safe place for us to explore. </span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Chalkboard, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-US">I
knew immediately that I wanted to create something that would bring</span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Chalkboard, serif;">
greater awareness of suffragist of color. I wanted to feature
Indiana people. </span>
</p>
<p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</p>
<p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Chalkboard, serif;">When I say the exhibit call, I was
just at the beginning design stage </span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Chalkboard, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-US">for
</span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Chalkboard, serif;">two lap
</span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Chalkboard, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-US">sized</span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Chalkboard, serif;">
quilts. </span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Chalkboard, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-US">I
really wondered if I had</span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Chalkboard, serif;">
time to add on another quilt project. I decided to make a quilt but
it couldn’t get in the way of me compleating the two in process.
As I worked on the animal and dinosaur quilts I dove in to
researching suffragist.. I spent many hours each day seeking
suffragist. As the lap quilts progressed, </span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Chalkboard, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-US">I
began focusing on a decision to use a fabric tessellation pleating
as my foundation surface for images. Why? I love fabric
tessellations and may put some sort of pleat into future quilts.. As
the animal quilt and dinosaur quilt came to completion, it was
necessary for me to decide which surface or face of the pleated
tesselation I would applque upon. Every tessellation has two
distinct surface designs. I pleated a few samples while determining
my approach to pleating my fabric. I finally decided on this pleating. I plan to auction off a few of the samples made during my process of choosing. Look for any auction posted to my Instagram.</span></span></span></span>

<span style="font-family: Chalkboard, serif;">This being the anniversary year of
women gaining the right to vote, I found an abundance of web
resources ranging from historical blogs to state blogs offering
information on suffragist, including the fact that women of color

african/black persons prohibiting them from moving into Indiana and
requiring substantial sums of money from those blacks choosing to
remain. </span>

hazelnut, spinach, poplar, otter, raven and doe. I hope that they
find their way back into future children’s dictionaries.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A couple of days ago after experiencing a 100% buckwheat pancake at a friends, I decided to experiment at home to see if I too could have fluffy buckwheat pancakes without the addition of any wheat flours. I mixed up a batch of organic buckwheat blueberry pancakes using a blend of organic buckwheat with some brown rice, rye flours, a few tablespoons of my sourdough starter, and the blueberries. I added a little cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric, ginger, and coriander into the mixture to add additional </span><span style="font-size: large;">subtle </span><span style="font-size: large;">flavors. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I topped the pancakes with organic butter and three different Quilter's Comfort/Grandma jam/jellies. A smear of Papaya Butter maded with local honey(you know that even using different local honeys will give slightly different taste), Red Bud Flower Jelly and Mango Tart Fruit Flight Jam! Oh my! Try something like this! Flavor to flavor to flavor, really switches things up just a little bit. I really enjoyed the additional playfulness with my food. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I made one of the blueberry buckwheat pancakes and cooked until mostly done. Plated it, cooled, covered and transported to a friend who refrigerated it over night, heated it for breakfast. I received a note saying "I made organic blueberry syrup for pancake & added fresh strawberries. Oh my gosh! Delicious! Thank you so much!" I had Mango Tart Fruit Flight jam for her, but forgot to leave it.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">In my experience, and I have been making beer jellies/jams almost ten years; you have to tweak every beer recipe. Yes, tweak beer by beer to find just the right ingredient balance of flavors.

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">I picked up my copy of <i>The New York Times Natural Foods
Cookbook </i>by Jean Hewitt at some point in the late 1970's while
living in Tucson, Arizona. It joined the shelf beside a little
bread book from a Safeway store checkout display, and the first
cookbook I had purchased after moving away from home, <i>Betty
Crocker</i>. That was in 1974. Here it is 2019, and
I am still baking my favorite cake recipe from the Natural Foods
Cookbook, <i>Whole Wheat Poundcake</i>. Through the years, I
have played with this recipe, often adding different inclusions like
nuts, chips, seeds, homemade jams and jellies, chocolate chips, carob
chips and using a variety of grains (this one has brown rice flour
and buckwheat). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Organic Blueberry Lemon Whole Wheat Sourdough with Rose Petals is my latest bit of
play with this recipe. For this experiment I included my wholegrain
sourdoughstarter (whole wheat, brown rice, buckwheat and rye) in
making a half batch of the recipe. In this half recipe, I used 2 eggs, ½
cup of sourdough starter, ¾ cup almond milk, 1 tablespoon of rose
petal sugar, (organic cane sugar with organic red rose petals –
these have been infused for more than a year so the sugar is very
full of the rose scent), 1 table spoon Chia seed and 1 tablespoon of
crushed red rose petals. Using two baby bundt pans, I filled each
with half of a regular quantity of batter and 2 mini bundt pans
filled as I normally would. Each of these was cut horizontally and
spread with Quilter’s Comfort’s Blueberry Lemon Jam. The mini
bundt had their holes filled with the jam. Icing was made using
cream cheese blended with the Blueberry Lemon jam and liberally applied. The jam was
very chunky with blueberries, so the icing is pretty fruity lumpy.
Yum. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This cake may appear dense looking, but it is light and melts in the
mouth! Because I am playing with the inclusions, the next time I bake
this, I will reduce the almond milk, leave out the chia, and as usual change up on the jellies. Perhaps next time, I will use
Quilter’s Comfort’s Rosehip Cranberry Jam, or really go out there
with a Mango Rose Chutney! I will make these changes and watch how they are reflected in the whole grain texture. </span><br />

<strong><em>From Rosemary-</em></strong><br />
Hi Friends,<br />
It’s winter and definitely time for Trademark Free Fire Cider! This
years flu season has been setting records! Make sure to get your
Trademark Free Fire Cider brewing! Its one of the best tonics to keep
you healthy during the winter months and to ‘keep the bugs at bay’.
And while you’re at it, try this great recipe for Trademark Free Fire
Cider from Mountain Rose and my Fire Cider chutney (see recipes below).
We’re hoping the Pirates won’t try to trademark these recipes as well!<br />
<div>
Unfortunately, the issue surrounding Fire Cider’s trademark
continues and the law suit that Shire City served to the ‘Fire Cider
Three’ ~ is ongoing.</div>
We continue to need your support in helping us win this case! We
are waiting to hear our trial date! We do have costs surrounding this!
Please consider donating to these costs.
You can help support the Free Fire Cider campaign in many ways!<br />
~<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://freefirecider.com/donate/&source=gmail&ust=1518726901570000&usg=AFQjCNHG-KtlySgSL8frD13caFIZFj3AQg" href="http://freefirecider.com/donate/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Donate to the trial costs! </a><br />
~Make your own Trademark Free Fire Cider!<br />
~Teach a Trademark Free Fire Cider class!<br />
~Don’t buy pirated herbal products (the brand with the pirate on the label)!<br />
~Ask your local stores not to carry trademarked Fire Cider!<br />
Thankfully, many stores have opted to stop selling trademarked Fire
Cider. Stores who have continued to sell the Shire City Brand usually
state that they want their costumers to have the freedom of choice, but
there’s NO choice when there’s only one brand allowed to be sold.
Thanks to Park Slope Co-op in NYC for supporting the boycott! TO - Rosemary's <a href="http://freefirecider.com/" target="_blank">FREE FIRE CIDER</a> web.<br />

Updates for the <span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #e06666;">Quilter's Comfort website</span> </span>for the New Year, are now being published.

<span style="font-family: "segoe print";">A few of you may
recall when I began exploring sourdough a few years ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> I
continue to be slightly in thrall of my living yeast!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At this time, my sourdough starter is what I
refer to as my pet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
little beast is not very demanding, when everything is going smoothly, it is on
a daily feed routine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes things
get off schedule and I am away a few days, and upon returning, have to decide
if it will forgive me and come back to its bubbly self, or began anew because I did not have the
foresight to put it in the refrigerator!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

bought into life this spring with the help of red peach
tree leaves from Owen County, a little Upland Dragonfly and a spoon of Barrel Chested beer
feed with whole wheat, brown rice, buckwheat, a little barley, a bit of rye,
kamut, spelt and millet flours.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "segoe print";">As you with
sourdough starters (PETS) know, every time you feed you have either the
opportunity to bake or cast off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And
when you allow for time, can do many amazing things with your sourdough cast
off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The following recipe is something I
have been doing again, and again, and planning on doing often!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a big batch for me, so I am very glad that they freeze beautifully!</span><br />

<br />
I am very excited to now have a few select Quilter's Comfort Small batch jellies in Brown County, Indiana! Now available in Nashville are:<b> Bluesy Green with Cranberry, Wheat Ale and Elderberry Rose Mint Jelly at</b> the <b>Brown County Potters</b> shop, in Nashville Indiana!<br />
<br />
Wondering what it taste like? An appetizer on the Upland, 11th Street , Bloomington menu, list "Local jelly" with carabatta cheese and local ham (this jelly is the Wheat Ale)! So check it out! Go sample and taste the flavor of delicious beer jelly; or wait for or it to be on local Bloomington shelves (Farmer House Museum), or get a taste when I am at a local market event and usually offering tastings at most event, or fly free and send me an email from Bloomington, we can do a web dance, and you can pick up your order at the Farmer House Museum. <br />
<br />
Haven't tasted these jellies? Yes, There will be opportunities to sample the jellies and other unique seasoning flavors!<br />

<br />
New life is everywhere. Plants emerging from ground. Some branches budding, others already leafing out. A day ago, I saw the first flush of red bud blossom. Soon the entire ridge will be popping with who knows how many shades of green and this contrasting pink.<br />
<br />
A week ago I wondered when the fast paced leafing would begin. The growth that eventually obscures my view of the road. It is fast upon me.<br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
Teas, Seasonings, Jellies, oh yes! It has been a busy time, and I have been enjoying my work with Quilter's Comfort! I am still breaking out in a very big smile each time I think of my jelly being consumed by Upland diners! Wheat Ale Jelly, yes! And what turned out to be the season favorite, Chocolate Raspberry Stout, especially Bear Kisses. Which most will have to wait for next year for more, as it turned out to be a seasonal brew. Or maybe I will find myself experimenting with another dark beer. Something really wonderful happens when you introduce fruit and chocolate into beer! Wine too!<br />

So much going on! Last weekend I had Quilter's Comfort products with me at the BLOOM Mag Artist Showcase in the Bloomington, IN Convention Center. I appreciate having a few teas and seasonings there with my visual arts. <br />

<br />
It is now weeks since MAKEVENTION, a convention of makers sponsored by Bloominglabs here in Bloomington, IN. I recall the evening before the event, leaving the tea cave, Ursula, and wondering why I was still in town. Finally as I was about to turn onto the road out of town, there before me in the right lane was a maker rig just pulling into town. I knew where they were headed and found them the next day to offer a welcome and hello.<br />

The jellies went over beautifully and to my surprise and delight, so did my first ever bake from my sour dough culture!<br />
<br />
My daughters and I are taking a Sourdough Bread Baking class online through a platform called Craftsy. It is my first such experience taking a class via the web.This is something I am able to share with my daughters, though we explore on different schedules from different locations. I am having such a great time learning a lot and finding so many people passionate about sourdough.<br />
<br />
This thing with the living yeast goes deep. There is someone with a starter that has a 100 year lineage! Since beginning this class, I have made a few quick breads, crackers with the Chocolate Seasoning that are a huge hit, baguettes, boules and now ready to begin incorporating my jelly and other herbal blends! <br />

At this time, I am considering having some of my sourdough creations at Winter Fair in November in the Bloomington Convention Center. That will depend on my energy levels and planning.<br />
<br />
I always enjoy hearing the different descriptions people offer for my jellies, books, and other artistic maker works. I am still amazed with the flexagon book structures and do delight in sharing them. Most of the folks here are techie, sharing collections, such as the IU Puzzle Collection guy or the Creative Anachronistic.<br />
<br />
If I had given it thought, I might have imagined there to be a puzzle collection, and now I have had a glimpse into the holdings at IU. Maybe a perfect adventure on a cold winters day. When I go, perhaps, I will take with me an example of the puzzles I make special from time to time.<br />
<br />
In the booth beside me was an amazing group of women with fiber, one with a drop spindle, others waving knitting needles and crochet hooks and all surrounded with wonderful soft woven shawls and other objects! <br />
<br />
Since then, I continue my updating journey through the website and other abandoned web resources. Why do I do this? Because, I choose to earn my living with something that I enjoy and want to put energy into creating the opportunity for you to purchase, enjoy and appreciate as well.<br />
<br />
And this is how I joyfully create resources to craft a sustainable lively hood that allows me to honor my financial commitments as I share some of what I love.<br />
