I'm Brooke Schmidt ~ I work in a little white studio in my backyard making works on paper, sewn collages, and sculptures from unusual materials (feathers, cocoons, resin, beeswax, antique books.)

I collect pyrex, feathers, painted japanese teapots, hand-carved wooden animals and embroideries of birds. I listen to books on cd read by british readers. At night I often find myself walking outside to check on the stars. I keep lists of the books I read, bake often, and grow hops, beets, lavender and nutmeg thyme in our garden, among the flowers.
