The video below shows my teacher, Doris DeSha, explaining the technique we used to produce the book page illustrating “stars crunch under our feet.” When we made this video Doris was 89 years old, mostly blind and bedbound, but sharp as a tack cognitively and a great teacher. You can get a good idea of her excellent teaching style, and the fun we have together.

Before I started the video recording, she said she wanted people to know that “creativity never leaves you”, regardless of age or physical ability.
