Episode 11 is all about what I really don't/really do want to talk about. I'm growing a person and it is a pretty wild and crazy time. Also, I reminisce over past projects where I expressed some serious fear about the subject.

Here are some links to articles and other things I mention:

This is short and sweet cause go outside instead. Happy Vernal Equinox and just endlessly painting rabbits.

The second half of my jam session with Mary Beth Carty. We are living on the edge, playing fast and loose with really hot liquid and jars while we chat about music, art materials and the importance of proper sanitation when canning.

This is the first part of my jam session with the very talented Mary Beth Carty. She teaches me how to make black current jam, feeds me amazing Quebec cheese, and shares her passion for perennials. Check her out here http://marybethdescene.com/ and here http://music.cbc.ca/#!/artists/Bette-Wallet

I've got the sick but I am able to finish my story about tanning a black bear hide. It is a gross story, so if you get squeamish at the talk of brains you may want to sit this one out. Otherwise join me as I share my knowledge of natural tanning!

In this episode I begin the story of how I preserved a black bear hide.

This week I babble about my wood stove envy and share the rest of my conversation with Emily Kane. We talk about living in and organizing small spaces, natural building, and how to advocate for the environment through art.

I recommend the book Woodswomen by Anne LaBastille http://www.amazon.ca/Woodswoman-Ecologist-Challenge-Adirondack-Wilderness/dp/0140153349 Emily let me borrow this book and it is a total gem if you love books about living in isolation in the wilderness.

The first installment of my conversation with illustrator and environmental educator Emily Kane. This conversation takes place in Emily's new home in in Cape George, Antigonish County. Join us as we discuss Emily's art practice, moving to a remote place, converted bus living, the realities of building a house, and the rewards to living closer to the land.
