We had no idea that Taylor, our next neighbor, otherwise a very sane person, is jigsaw puzzle addict. Took her no time at all to complete the 500 pieces from our "Buffet" series co-produced with Ocean Recovery Alliance.
As an aficionado, she explained that the variety of colors and objects in the image made it fun and a bit easier to do. When we showed her the design with the expanse of sand, she exclaimed — ohhhh too hard. A point well taken as we continue our test-marketing.
She was thrilled with the completed puzzle. We all agreed, it does look good and has a beautiful shimmer, as does Taylor.
Truth to Power and the Blue Wave were the themes for this years Women's March. Judith took both to heart and created two blue waves. One, a waving hand, and the other inspired by Hokusai's wood-block print The Great Wave off Kanagawa, both embellished with beach plastic. Because when ever, where ever, plastic and pollution should be in the conversation.
In the run up to the March, there was much divisiveness — some think seeded by the Russian operatives sowing political discord. But in Point Reyes people showed up. People stood up. People were united by Richard leading the group in a chant:
The people united will never be defeated.
"¡El pueblo unido, jamás será vencido!"
