About Me

Here's my story... well, a tiny bit of it anyway. I was raised in Taiwan where I developed a fascination with Asian food, street theater, dragons & art, was educated in the US, and am now living in a fishing village in Nova Scotia, I tend to find life an amazing unfolding delight. I make puppets, jewelry, artists books and other sorts of folk or alternative arts. I share this magical, artful life with my husband, two cats, two dogs and any relative or friend that drops by. The welcome mat is always out. We will put on the kettle and have tea or coffee and watch the waves. (We've seen whales from the dining room window.) Just give us a shout.

Please describe how you could take the peel off an apple all in one go:

Why in the world would I want to do that? Mangoes taste better!
