fifty one : like a skull
here i am posing in front of a whale skull i requested my mom take the picture mom is an artist too lots of other people were taking pictures mostly of the view. Point Reyes Seashore, Marin, California, USA.
forty six : lantern making party
can i take credit for the cuteness of kids? mmm nope.
finally some pictures from one of the lantern workshops that i coordinated held at the Secret Lantern Headquarters.
these young fellows are very skilled at making things due to the encouragement they have received from parents who take them to community art events, and also their experiences at gatherings such as Fire Maker where they learn primitive skills such as making a bow and arrow or learning to skin a rabbit.
while you cannot see it in this picture one of these lanterns featured an owl and a fern.
having the kids present brought much lightness and a sense of welcome and rightness to this workshop. as did the candidness and contribution of all who were there! THANKS ALL!
connection in the dark days making things together so basic so human we are

woo woo, woo woo, woo woo-aaaaah, says Owl.

My friend Cedar (who is 5) and i talked and sketched together to come up with this meeting of the minds. He wanted scarey, i wanted our pumpkin to reflect our recent visits to the dentist for molar fillings (also kinda scarey i think). Good colab!
