These vases were influenced by the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, reflecting the beauty of things imperfect. The right kind of imperfection, such as asymmetry in a bowl or vase which reflects the handmade craftmanship, as opposed to another object which is perfect, but soul-less and machine made. A small bouquet of wild flowers or grasses look beautiful in this vase.

The spring 2012 issue of the New Mexico Poetry Review is dedicated to poems related to New Mexico in celebration of the New Mexico state centennial.

Fifty years before Smokey Bear was found—near death, clinging to a tree after a forest fire—Capitan was the site of a burgeoning coal boom. With the mine came the railroad, and with the railroad came the founding of the town. At the center of Capitan’s emergence was George A. Titsworth’s general store, an enterprise that set the stage for Titsworth’s rise and ultimate undoing. Titsworth was embroiled in a local murder investigation and—in retaliation, many presumed—became the target of a would-be assassin who went unpunished. Capitan was also home to a successful string of ranching communities, an important outpost for the U.S. Forest Service and one of the nation’s few Civilian Conservation Corps’ camps for girls. Join local historian Gary Cozzens for the whole story of Capitan—Smokey and all.

Beginning in the seventeenth century, townsfolk and rural dwellers in the remote Spanish colonial city of Santa Fe maintained a provocative interest in mysterious and miraculous visions. This preoccupation with the afterlife, occult forces and unearthly beings existing outside the natural world led to early witch trials, stories about saintly apparitions and strange encounters with spirits and haunted places. New Mexican author Ray John de Aragón explores the time-honored tradition of frightening folklore in the Land of Enchantment in this intriguing collection of tales that crosses cultures in the dark corners of the southwestern night.

From the Apache Wars to Los Alamos, New Mexico's rich past offers a colorful medley of emboldened caracters and controversial schemes that shaped the course of history.  In this collection of forgotten tales, Ellen Dornan relates the stories of heroic outcasts and scheming governors, female warriors and fierce revolutionaries. Meet the crew that accidentally dropped a hydrogen bomb on a sage-covered mesa, the Union troops who surrendered after “destroying” a cache of whiskey, the governor who rerouted Route 66 to spite his successor and the first African American woman to enlist in the U.S. Army. From the desk of master storyteller and local author Ellen Dornan comes an assortment of delightfully quirky tales from the Land of Enchantment.

Paper, glass and metal leaf are applied to an acrylic painted and textured surface. The varied textures reflect both shiney and matt, highlighting the organic looking imagery. Signed on the back by the artist.
