and so it begins...

copyright Leah Dankertson: rough hewn

rough hewn [adj] 1. to hew (timber, stone, etc.) roughly or without
smoothing or finishing. 2. to shape roughly; give crude form to.


I have come to see that I am a maker of rough, unfinished art. I am a thinker of rough and unfinished thoughts. And I, myself, am rough and unfinished - daily being hewn by a maker that woos and stirs my soul and who ultimately is the inspirer of my work. So, in this new blogging adventure I have aptly named Rough Hewn, I share with you not only my completed work, but more importantly the sketchy, instantaneous, unfinished, and in-process bits {because those are the most interesting parts anyway, right?!?} - all of my questions, collaborations, and inspirations.


Here we go!
Time to rough it!
