A little while ago, despite the overwhelming amount of work that was mounting on my studio bench, I decided to take a day off and went to help a friend out. She had a mountain of cabbage to deal with and I had some childhood experience (or just memories) of dealing with sour-kraut, and thus it just seemed like the perfect solution. It took me and her a full day to shred and pickle six five gallon buckets of kraut! I came away from it all thrilled and relaxed, despite the work, and ready to sit at my bench again. It was inspiring and invigorating on a completely different level then one might have thought. And it felt so very good to be doing work for someone else! Besides, cabbage is really beautiful. It reminds me of macrame and layering and all those beautiful things we experimented with while in the studio at school. Might have to revisit some of that again...
