Mother Earth News article

18 years ago

The October/November issue of MEN has an article named "Get Muddy, Make Earth Art" that I thought some folks here would be interested in reading. I found the mag on the newstand so it should be available. It is on sculpturing on one's wall with a homemade mix of locally dug clay, sand, water and fiber for reinforcement. Looks like a fun, and makes me sad that I will be moving out of my own house soon. Do take a look.

Well Spiderwoman, thanks for finding the article! :) I may have totally missed it if you hadn't brought it to attention.

I did a search on a couple of names in that article and picture credits which are pretty interesting too. I find the whole earth home concept fascinating and a whole lot like a huge live-in sculpture :)
