Books!

So right now I’m enjoying a couple of books. My husband is napping, and my daughter is at the bowling alley with a friend. The first book I’m reading is about great women artists. The second book is about hermit crab essays. Hermit crab essays are quickly becoming my obsession. If you haven’t heard the term before, a hermit crab essay is one written in the style of another text. Recipe as essay, medical pamphlet as essay. Essay written as a Christmas carol. You can be as creative with it as you want.

I like drawing inspiration from a variety of artists and art forms. This book features 400 female artists from a 500 year time span to present day. I’m encountering artists I don’t know, and I’m enjoying it.
