| ABOUT THE COVER |
| This issue’s cover was rendered by our artist, Don Childers, for our first Self-reliance for women special issue. The painting was composed on illustration board. A watercolor called gouache was used for the background, and Genesis, a paint that sets when heat is applied, was used for the figure. Inspiration for the painting came from a photograph furnished by one of our longtime writers, Dorothy Ainsworth. It was a photo taken of her when she was building her own log house in Ashland, Oregon. |

It can significantly reduce your monthly utility costs and, since there are no batteries, there is almost no maintenance.
