Dinky Duck may overtake Mustard Mac but she carries Worm-Kay. Many more in the crowd are bursting to say: "Come Here! You Are Welcome! Have a Nice Day! We're all Friendly Creatures! Stay, oh please stay!"
Autorenporträt
Ruth Drescher has been active in many art forms over the years (e.g., painting, print making, fiber arts, calligraphy, and book design). In the past decade, she has been primarily focused on digital photography, and through this medium, she discovered the art of creating images digitally. Thus were born the Friendly Creatures, the first of which were created in 2006. She has exhibited widely in a variety of venues. Her work has been featured in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette as well as other publications. She is married to Seymour Drescher, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh who also loves the Friendly Creatures, as do her three children, Michael, Jonathan, and Karen, and her eight grandchildren, who all still cherish the quilts she made for them as babies. Christine Doreian Michaels is a retired psychologist who came to Pittsburgh from England in 1971, with a husband and one and two-thirds children. She still loves her native land but has never regretted the move. Besides two grown children and four adult stepchildren and their spouses, she now has twelve grandchildren. She grew up entranced by the rhythms of nursery rhymes and the pictures illustrating them. She is delighted to partner Ruth Drescher in this project. She has been active in the Pittsburgh's poetry scene since she joined the Squirrel Hill Poetry Workshop in 1981 and the Pittsburgh Poetry Society a few years later. She is most grateful for the ten years in the 1990s, performing with Tea-Time Ladies and writing word-weavings for them. Her publications can be found in many anthologies from Western Pennsylvania, plus international anthologies: No Choice but to Trust and only the sea keeps: Poetry of the Tsunami. She has several poems published in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. She also has a hymn lyric in Songs for the Living, the national hymnbook of the Unitarian Universalist. She is delighted to partner with Ruth Drescher in this project.
