Bettina Werner, the "Salt Queen," is featured for her salt-media art ... and her dalmatian dog ... in the new issue of American Dog Magazine
. The article explains: "Salt in various forms -- kosher salt, table salt, rock salt -- is the basis for her work. 'There is so much history behind this powerful and beautiful natural crystal,' she says. 'I wanted to bring into my art a new medium, a medium that is not tasteless.'"
Well said, your majesty.
