Teaching art with itty bitty students, exploring creativity, finding new passions and purpose, and enjoying the progress of my three greatest works of art out there in the big world.

Having an Escher Moment
My plan for today, beyond a pleasant lunch with an art teacher/junk aficionado at Corner Bakery (Collagemama recommends the Corner Combo of 1/2 Caesar salad and 1/2 Chicken Pomidori panini), was to do the materials prep work for the next summer session.
After tying 224 double knots in jute to make handles for fifty-six treasure chests, I moved on to cutting the ocean waves to make a pirate ship on stormy seas hat (think wavy crown). Thank heaven the leftovers from the hat cut-outs form the parrot wings for another camp project! Can you spell "blisters", boys and girls?
Cutting along in this mindless task, I got sucked into a fantasy version of the Allman Brothers playing, "I'm No Escher". Wasn't that the song about starting a fire in your canoe??
... No I'm no angel
No I'm no stranger to the dark
Let me rock your cradle
Let me start a fire with your spark
Oh come on baby
Come and let me show you my tattoo
Let me drive you crazy
Come on and love me baby...
