"Bless all useful objects, the spoons made of bone, the mattress I cook my dreams upon, the typewriter that is my church with an altar of keys always waiting." Anne Sexton

A bowl made from claro walnut, ten and a half inches end-to-end. Sometimes there's a trade-off when sanding/finishing a hardwood: Finer grit would make the surface smoother but allow less finish (a hard wax oil here) to soak in and show off the grain and colors. #Woodworking #Retired

Diane Arbus revisits these orphans of the storm, Lillian (BOTD) and Dorothy Gish, in this 1964 photo. Their fur coats flecked with snow, they still look beautiful, and in Lillian’s case, indomitable enough to live another 30 years. #LillianGish #DorothyGish #DianeArbus

It’s Lillian Gish’s birthday. Charles Laughton’s genius was to ask ‘what about Mother Goose…with a shotgun?’
