"Make. What was the last thing you made? What materials did you use?" (Reverb10, reflect & manifest)
Besides these blog posts of late, I'm in the midst of creating some luscious new translations inspired by late 19th and early 20th century French poems, for an upcoming art song program at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. What materials?: My noggin & computer.
I made baguettes from scratch for Thanksgiving. They turned out ok, even if they were a bit too crunch-ay. Flour, water, yeast, elbow grease. It was super fun and now I'm obsessed with perfecting the recipe.
I made an opera with my company. I wrote the libretto and an amazing composer set it to music. Dreamy.
Ingredients:
