A is for art. Art is creation.
You know it’s art when it’s not useful. Art becomes craft when it becomes useful. A bowl can be art, a vase can be art, and a vessel.
A is for aqua, amethyst, aquamarine,
A is for acrylic.

My finds from the biggest horse-owner horse supply sale in Oregon, known as the 4HTack Sale. This is the start of my Blue rope collection, I have some artsy idea for the ropes. The Blue and white rug is a double thick woven wool, handcrafted in New Zealand. I have 2 of the square rugs and I am using them for floor exercises and yoga moves.

Milkw**d flower. There is a planting of milkw**d near the horticulture department at CCC. Bees love the flowers and the monarch butterfly larvae eat the leaves.
