Filling in the Cracks



Loving most things weathered, my heart has grown fond of our front porch; particularly the stairs.  The creases and cracks and layers of paint that have slowly chipped away reveal hints of a well-worn path to and from our front door.  I think of all the entrances and exits that occurred in the years before we arrived.  I wonder which owner chose what paint color and what inspired the change.  Our front stairs, along with a lot of Ohio streets and roadways took a beating this winter.  I had just sent this picture to the owner of our house letting her know the stairs needed some love when I found this clever solution to cracks and crevices.  Parisian installation and fiber artist Juliana Santacruz Herrera has found a beautiful fix for potholes in Paris.  C'est magnifique.
