Inside a Black Apple

I've been enamoured with Emily Martin's beautiful art and craft work for a long time now (my prints by her are among my most prized possessions) but what has pushed me to finally write about her site is a post she made a couple of days ago. Emily wrote in response to this piece (ugh), she says:

I would be so happy for my potential daughter, thin or chubby, to see Nigella on television...someone bright and lovely and talented and beautiful in her own, self-possessed way. I don't like that saying: "real women" have curves, because it's exclusive and inaccurate...I think real, happy women are active, try to love life, and don't base it on denying themselves. And they are all sorts of sizes.

I really can't add very much (both because I'm out of time and because Emily says it all so well) so just get over there and read it (and then browse her gorgeous shop on Etsy).
