Smooth Inspiration

Visiting a job-site today and seeing all the trades slide around each other trying to bring the project to life reminded me of this little gem.  The episode The Spirit of Woodcraft from the 2006-2007 season the The Wood Wright Shop on PBS is a staple I share with first year architecture students.  Its primary focus is on how a carpenter interacts with the craft, tools, and material, it is really a wonderful monologue about flow, patience, observation, and attention.  It is also exquisitely nerdy (starting with a quote from Starwars).

Drawing 022 :: Swelling Bud

What flower may come?

Spring is finally peaking out from the long dark veil of winter. The warming air and crisp refreshment of thawing ground is very welcome after this year's prolonged chill. This drawing started at the beginning of march, and looking back, it was likely in a response to all the plants waiting to bud and bring their flowers into spring. Soon their sweet musky fragrance will fill the air.
