Earth Day

It is snowing here, so there will be no planting trees or herbs in our garden. The next best thing to do is a recycling project. A garden of pinwheels! constructed from Magazine covers, wine bottle corks, chops sticks and a push pin. It was fun to sit in the warmth of the studio and create a this virtual garden.
