Woman reclines uneasily on couch.
Patient: Doctor, I’ve been having the most troubling dreams lately.
Dr. F. Reud: Hmm. Tell me about your mother.
Patient: It’s not like that, Doc. They all start at summer camp.
Doctor: Aha! [Scribbles furiously on notepad.] Zis camp, itz your mother who sent you?
Patient: Um, sure. Anyway. It’s raining, so I’m arts and crafting Shrinky Dinks. But all of the patterns are tired and cliched, so I wake up in a cold sweat. What do you think it means?
[Reud reaches into tweed jacket and hands patient two adorable rings, one with a tranquil tree motif, the other with a wise owl.]
Doctor: Zis should help. Jennifer Ackerman forms cuff rings out of Shrinky Dinks but uses her SCAD and Parsons background to sketch the nature-inspired designs herself. Zer inexpensiff and chic, und a percentage of sales goes to a different animal charity each month.
Patient: So even Mother Earth might approve?
Doctor: Precizely.
