I've been working on the railroad
Just another day on the Atlanta Beltline—or at least the proposed but incomplete part of the Beltline north of Memorial Drive.
Joan walks purposefully along the abandoned tracks, while I lag behind to study the mechanics of the old railroad track.
Tin can art
A few years ago, Joan and I spent a week at the John Campbell Folk School in North Carolina. We learned how to create art from tin cans and metal scraps.
Last week, Joan had a creative moment and made a present for me—a beautiful little iconic homage to Leonardo da Vinci.
This project involved distressing and rusting an Altoids tin and creating all the little things that fit inside the box, including foil, hardware cloth, gears, miniature art, chain, wire, and a pearl.
I think it's quite lovely.
