Judy Hirsh's delightful Kurinuki piece is shown in 2 views below. She said "Thank you and others so much for helping make Sept 8 a pivotal day for me. This was the first time since the SIP order that I felt compelled to produce art. Here it is. My ongoing obsession with personality types. My son, Jared, who has his own private 'speakeasy' in Oakland, wanted me to make him (my version of) a Tiki cup. "
Angela Lusk shared her marvelous seven-sided Kurinuki bowl (shown both right side up and upside down below): "I’m so accustomed to the additive process - the subtractive process turned my brain inside out! Wonderful exercise for increasing neuroplasticity right?"
Pat Hanscom has made a second Kurinuki piece, below left: "Here’s my little Covid planter, textured with wildfire ash from the September apocalypse."
Betty Baker was really inspired by our demo - she made three Kurinuki vessels shown below on the right!

Theresa Kuo's charming wall quilt is below on the left: "I recently finished another Christmas gift for the next-next generation of kids. The horse quilt is for a grandnephew or grandniece. Am really enjoying the challenge. Next project will be a chihuahua (my grandpup) quilt for my daughter-in-law. "
Hetta Malone reports: "I’m still a trainee but have been able to develop some new skills with iPhone images during SIP. Most images taken in Rossmoor or immediate vicinity."
NOTE: Hetta is a member of CAC's February/March Orientation class that was interrupted by the lockdown on March 10; three of her wonderful pictures are shown below.

Mary Ann Stanley started making "Splotch Art" during an online art course - she reports "These two (on the top row) were my first. I didn’t have any ink or acrylics but found some 'Stroke and Coat' glaze and used it. I have had so much fun with this media, at a 90th family birthday we did this (ages 14 to 90) and all had a great time - lots of laughs and prizes."
Anne Shulenberger - having been shown the technique by Mary Ann - also had fun making the two little pictures on the second row.

Carla Winter-Evans took the photo below of "a buck that I had rescued a few years ago. He’s happily munching on weeds. Currently, he’s the only buck I’ve seen around here but there are quite a few does and fawns… I think maybe he’s the Dad! He’s got quite a survival story."

The rest of Carla's story about Deer #162:
It was about 3 years ago. This poor creature had put his foot into a drainage pipe and pulled out the pipe and could not dislodge it from his foot. It was tortuous and after many months he was very lame, but still feisty. I called every rescue organization from Mendocino to Big Sur and no one rescued deer… I finally contacted fish and game and they came out, set up camp and in about two days were able to sedate him, on my front yard.
They sent a pic of the injury to a vet to decide if they thought he would survive or they should put him down. They opted to remove the drain from the entrapped hoof and trim the horribly over grown hoof and let him be. They tagged his right ear #162 , thus his name. Also, that first year, he also had a broken antler on the left side, so the ear tag counter balanced the broken antler in a way that gave him “style”… he kinda looked like a hippy deer. Eventually, he got up and wobbly limped off. The leg got better, one barely notices a limp now, and he appears to have a harem.
End of story… except the herd of deer in the yard.
