marrakech, morocco
while in morocco, we went to a HAMMAM. it was such an incredible experience and i have NEVER felt more clean. the woman who cleaned us slathered black soap on our entire bodies and then, with great vigor, scrubbed us with a charcoal mitt. so painful, so pleasurable. it removes all of the dead skin (yes, she showed us) and leaves you as soft as a baby’s butt. she also washed and comb out my hair (score ! . . . i hate washing my hair). naturally, i bought many tubs of this mysterious black soap to bring home with me. and i can’t wait to go back…

i’m starting to work on my next book (chronicle books) which will be a sketchbook from my sketchbooks of my trips to france ! i’m sorting through 100’s of sketches to see which ones will make the cut. a very daunting process but i’m so excited about this book ! it’s a dream come true.

these utensils were hanging in the kitchen of the late artist jean derval. he was an amazing artist and i had the chance to visit his home in france. the house was pure magic complete with an enormous wild garden in the backyard.
