When faced with the challenge of planning a 12-year old's birthday party during the pandemic, I designed a blind baking contest modeled after the technical challenge in the Great British Baking Show. I delivered nut and gluten free ingredients to the participants' doorsteps. They had a set of detailed instructions and didn't know what the end result was supposed to look like. They posted their results and ranked everyones cupcakes on a google form. Here are their hilarious and impressive results. I'm planning on repeating this activity with my high school students this year. Stay tuned!

I love textiles and they have ended up in paintings or influenced parts of them quite a bit. Sometimes, though, I just have to craft something from some beautiful fabric. Here are some pillows I made with fabric from Marimekko, during a recent snow day. Because of my love of working with fibers, having enjoyed macramé as a child, knitting, crocheting amigurumi animals, learning about the mathematical application of crochet, and this collective art, reef, climate change project was particularly exciting. www.marimekko.com/us_en/fabric https://www.kqed.org/arts/12808325
I can't wait to visit this museum in person when the pandemic is over. Here's a clip of a video of Dr. Libby O'Connell, Chief Historian Emeritus at History Channel and former Senior Vice President, Corporate Social Responsibility at A&E Television Networks, shedding light on the early American portraits of children by artists like Ammi Phillips. The link to the full clip is here.
