I spent the day in the studio...meeting and greeting plus explaining my possibilities for my space where everyone can create Art! I painted my mannequin with gesso to ready her for my designs and collage for my display unit for some new jewelry I am working on. I hung up a few more pieces and items that share my style and some techniques I would like to share. I am making a "Whispers and Echoes" wall hanging to add to my identity. I had some young students stop by and they shared their invention lab designs...a robot man...New York Times Square abstract...the third young man made a elongated design while distressing a CD player's motor board. They know more now because they disassembled different items we use in our daily lives to communicate with one another, hear and see music and videos...life as I knew it as a child does not exist. But in the conversation they shared their passion for building forts in their backyard complete with electricity for cable TV and power to play their favorite music. Another young woman who is starting high school came over to get my blog address so she could stayed tuned to future sewing collages and messenger bags. I came home totally exhausted due mainly to the extreme heat index and had a quick dinner and laid down for just a minute...that turned into an hour nap. Tonight I am going to bed earlier and hopefully be able to maintain my energy for tomorrow's tasks at hand. Imagine and Live in Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
I really can't wait to see what you do with that fabulous mannequin!!! I think I might be a tad jealous of her! LOL! It is so wonderful to hear about your interactions with the kids!
ReplyDeletelooks like great fun happening already!!
ReplyDeleteI think you have more energy than I do. Oh to have a mannequin to decorate...that would be great fun!
ReplyDeletechildren are so creative and have so much energy-- and have fun with that mannequin.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Tuesday on Thursday. Yep, I'm really late, but that won't happen again. Your "make art" letters are really colorful.
ReplyDeleteThose art proteges look really interested and intent. It's good to see fertile minds before they get corrupted by rules of composition and such.
