Good morning Dawn. My name is Theodis. A mutual friend of ours pointed me in your direction. I desperately want to create a coffee table book about discarded hair found on the streets. I call them Tumbleweaves. Is there any guidance or advice you can give? It would be greatly appreciated.

Hi. Nice to meet you. I'm so glad you found me. I was just texting with Jalene about you a minute ago. Email me at dawn@dawndowneyblog.com and we'll talk. And I'd love to see your studio.

Thanks for being here, Margie! What you're saying intrigues me...as I was writing, I wasn't consciously working towards playful. It seems the words had an intention on their own without me knowing about it. You're right--words are mysterious.

I love your post this Friday. Your words surrounded by your books! Your playful exploration of the fascinating, mystifying, ironic world of words!

You're welcome, Judi. You know me well. I do feel joy in discovery. Finding my peeps is producing both joy and terror. I have angst about blending my older peeps in with my newer people. Will somebody be mad at me? I'm glad for your steady friendship over so many years. You remind me the angst is all in my head.
