Note from Wednesday, 5/4: Remember the pink-and-white-striped sketchbook I made Bethy several weeks ago? Yesterday afternoon she and I sat together in the studio at one of the work tables, elbow-to-elbow, working in our respective sketchbooks. In an hour she had filled her sketchbook with drawings, using my colored pencils. When she was done, she showed me the last page, with a sun shining brightly. "Would you like to hear the song?" she asked me, and she turned to the first page and sang me through the entire book! This is a wonderful example of the creator having an entirely different concept of the use of an item than the recipient of the gift. And, what a use!
