Guest Post: Amber Heintzberger, co-author of Modern Eventing, on Babies & Books

I have not read this book. I do not plan to read this book. It’s too depressing to read about Eventing when the closest I get to a cross-country course is the pictures in the book. Maybe some day. Meanwhile, Phillip Dutton is an accomplished rider and Amber Heintzberger is an accomplished writer.

Text Art: BrickFair

As a text project for the BrickFair exhibition, I created my new blog address, rodneyssaga.com, in translucent LEGO. Beautiful in the light. Flippin’ impossible to take a decent picture of.
