You don't know how happy it makes me to be able to follow your funky, kooky, word wizardry here. Can't wait to see you in a couple of weeks for beignets. I'll be the one in the black t-shirt.

Those sparring critters are disturbingly svelte after the bluster and dominance their heads would connote!

They are definitely bricolage-looking creatures!

A great read, Steph! I’ve seen “At Home - Dancing” somewhere before, and I remember pausing for a long while to study it. But I never knew this wonderful story surrounding it. Thank you for sharing this story!

Hi Mike! Thank you! I'd never seen it but it made my eyes happy. It's a nifty story, for sure, though I wish there was more concrete info out there about this lady. Maybe more'll come to light eventually, fingers crossed.

Absolutely beautiful writing, Steph! It’s so lovely to read your work again. What a fascinating woman to write about… I’m afraid I’m going to have to leave the world of the living and go down that rabbit hole, too!

Thank you Rene - I'm a huge fan of yours, too, so glad you like it. Thank you for the kind words. We'll be up in STL here and there - hopefully we will cross paths in real life soon.
