Compost And Creativity: The Creative Fire
Blogger and fiber artist Donna Kallner discusses a new wood-burning stove in her new house and the lessons she learned about creativity while learning how to successfully light the stove and enjoy the fire’s glow.
Sample quote:
“I need the fire to catch quickly and burn clean. I need heat without drama.
As I was laying a fire the other day, it struck me how similar the process is to what I do in the studio when I need to start something new: Lay kindling, open the back door, strike a match, build some heat and coals, then feed the fire.”

“Kickstarting” a Passion Project « Journeys of a Hybrid
Gail Mooney, a still photographer and filmmaker, writes about working on projects close to her heart (“Passion Projects”) and the use of Kickstarter, a crowdfunding site that leverages social media to help fund worthy projects.
Description from the site itself: “A justice and spirituality festival that feels more like a long weekend party than a conference, rooted in an irenic (and sometimes ironic) Christian tradition but open to all. As we work toward what makes for the deepest togetherness and most lasting change, we are using the lenses and gifts of art, music, and conversation to nurture a community of people connected to each other, to the suffering people of the world, and to the earth itself.”
