What stands out about her work is the family history. Had her grandfather been into glasswork, would her craft been altered by his interest and care? How are our interests and activities formed by those who came before? For example, I would have little patience for paper crafting, but I can crochet for hours...maybe because I saw my granny do it...
I would choose a giraffe, the length of legs and neck representing the news of the day...that which reaches to the heavens for prayer and that which is grounded on earth.

These are amazing. I made beads out of magazine covers when I was young and really enjoyed the craft form.
