Skylab Dish by Helen Garriott

Template:Infobox Item This decorative item is a replica of a ceramic art piece done by Richard Garriott's late mother and literally the mother of Ultima - Helen Garriott.

Helen was an artist who drew the first cover of Akalabeth, which many consider Ultima 0. When her sons Robert & Richard formed Origin, she became Origin's first Art Director. She manually laid out all of the early manuals, having drawn many of the illustrations found within, and also created the map for Ultima III. Helen was also an investor in Origin. Using funds acquired from that investment, she envisioned and created Leonardo's Discovery Warehouse in the community of Enid Oklahoma, where she grew up. She believed that inspiring children in art and science was supremely important.

Leonardo's stands as a monument to her vision and the way she lived her life, and is accepting donations in Helen's memory. A portion of the proceeds of the sale of this digital item will go to Leonardo's.

"...I share the hope that through the vehicle of an arts and sciences center (Leonardo's Discovery Warehouse) we can excite both the excellent student and the struggling or unmotivated student in the adventure of discovery, raise self esteem and turn them on to the fun of a productive life." - Helen Garriott
