| Aluron |  | The goal is to share songs, poems, and drawings I’ve done that inspire empathy. |
| Amarya Weinberger |  | Every day in March I will send out a photograph I have taken that day or show some ceramic work I have done. Each day, I will share my creative process with you. Insects are my favorite subject! Hopefully, these updates will brighten up your day and help us welcome springtime to Vermont! Please donate to support this work. |
| Carol Wright |  | I plan to create a quilted table runner and weave a basket (or two). I will send details about the process as I go. |
| Deb Roy |  | I will share examples of my mixed media throughout March. |
| Dee Bort |  | I make handmade greeting cards using a variety of techniques to create backgrounds, images and sentiments. Some days you will see parts of the process and my goal will be to show several finished products. I will be gone on a trip the first few days of March and hope to show some of the subjects that inspire my creations. |

| Yura and Asa |  | We will send a picture every day that is a drawing of something we have imagined and tell you what it is. We are a brother and sister team who love to draw. I (Yura) am 9 and Asa is almost 6. Mostly we like to draw things that we imagine. I like to draw imaginary creatures, plants, and robots. Asa likes to draw trains and design new buildings and cities. |
