We're looking up the word accumulate tonight for vocabulary tonight. A good word to understand. I think there is a certain unawareness in this form of a gathering. Loving the way these mandala layers accumulate color to color and ring to ring.

My illustrations were used on narration cards to tell the story as a projected small puppet performance was viewed on a large screen. There was beautiful original music played by a 5 piece ensemble.

Lafcadio Hearn's strange tale of a brief sleep that yields a dream lasting two dozen years was performed in miniature and accompanied by new music.

I thought maybe to save this for Valentines Day but with my little heart artist I think I am in for a month long tribute to St. Valentine and all the pure love that flows in a childs heart.

Sig :: Birthday Card

There is so much art flourishing in this house from the smallest member of the family that I have decided with her permission to make a weekly post of all this goodness that we oogle over. She is so generous with it, giving it to friends and family that her young chi is sparkling and angelic. Sooo thankful. This is Sig's post. She hasn't come up with a weekly post name yet but whatever she decides that is what I'll call it.

What have you been generously given?

I have been photographing lost black gloves since 2006. I take all the pictures with my cell phone which is always with me and three years later my brain is well trained to stop and click mid sentence, mid errand and sometimes mid street and capture a bit of art. Life is busy with kids and work and all the many things we do to make life happen so it has been a slice of nice to be surprised with these black gloves when I least expect and remember that I am part of this world of inspiration.

Sushi Candy with Gwendolyn Waite

Yummy idea for a birthday party. Candy sushi. Rice Krispie bars rolled out thin in waxed paper on the porch on a cool November Minnesota evening. (Her son wanted an evening party. Too funny, and well you can guess that kid is pretty clever.) Gwen had all the official trays and grass and chop sticks. They turned out great and taste good too.

I have to tell you about the mom Gwen. She is a wonderful photographer and takes pictures of kids and babies and newborns. Here is her site.......
