    Directions to 62 CR 4165; Cranfills Gap, Texas 76637:
    Highway 290 northwest to Hempstead
    Exit onto Highway 6 (north) toward Navasota, Bryan/ College Station. (Note: when passing through the towns of Hearne, Marlin and Riesel be aware of the speed limits because these are usually ‘speed trap’ communities.)
    Approximately 10 miles out of Riesel exit the highway for Loop 340/ Highway 6 that leads to Meridian.
    Proceed on Highway 6 through Valley Mills and on into Clifton
    At the first traffic light in Clifton, turn left onto Highway 219
    Approximately 9 miles out of Clifton, turn right turn onto Highway 182 (at the ‘Four Corners’ area; a sign will indicate Norse to the right)
    After 2 or 3 miles, Highway 182 ‘forks’; stay left (follow the yellow center stripe)
    At Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, Highway 182 becomes County Road 4145 (no yellow center stripe)
    Almost exactly two miles from the church CR 4165 will be on the left side of the road (the road sign will be on the right-hand side of CR 4145;there will also be a big, black entrance gate by the sign on the right that reads Norse Ridge.
    Turn left onto CR 4165 and almost immediately after turning, our gate will be on the left side of the road. There will be a ‘barbed wire wreath’ with our address: 62 CR 4165
    IF ALL ELSE FAILS, CALL ME AT 281-814-6200 I WILL GUIDE YOU.
    Things to bring:
    #1 Closed toed shoes for walking around the property
    #2 Heat and art project friendly clothing
    #3 A shade friendly hat/cap
    #4 Bug spray and sun screen
    If I have forgotten anything, please let me know. I am very excited about your visit and want you to be happy, comfortable, and creative!

    As some of you may know, Emily Neal and I have been cooking up schemes for the last several years to promote, reinvigorate, and ignite creativity in our own and others’ lives. We believe that creativity is the wellspring of a happy, productive life; we mourn the loss of creativity in our culture. Many of our ideas have grown from brainstorming ways to use Emily's Old Box House, which she has been renovating with care over the past several years. Because Emily is now dedicated to building a larger house on her property, I have moved our initial brainstorming in this space to "The Back Burner."
    One of the ideas we have settled on to actively nurture creativity involves gathering together a group of creative types to learn more about how to turn up the volume on our muses, spur creativity in one another, and provide space for creating and collaborating together or working individually on a creative exercise or project.

    Collective Project: A DOOR TO CREATIVITY
    Old doors abound here in the shed next to The Old Box House. I have begun an installation of these doors as they all seem to have a story to tell. You are invited you to be a part of decorating an old door with messages, poems, totems, and images that speak to the creative process. Let your imagination run wild. What could you create to attach to an old door for others to discover in the future? What would you want them to know about you and your thoughts about the creative process?
