I guess I'll just stick with the basics.
I had a productive day at the studio working on my rat/possum experimental puppet. It's coming along quite nicely.

I use these in workshops, but I always feel horrible about the plastic waste involved. I picked one up today and noticed how very, very perfectly the external tube fits nicely over your finger... I looked around the studio a bit more and located a ping-pong ball.

I have lots of scrap fabric that needs a purpose, so I gathered up some of that, too. Voila! Little Red Riding Hood.

Basics are good. Reusing that glue stick made me smile, as did seeing the update on rat / possum. That smile is no small thing, given the state of the world.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a tough week for me, but when I saw a photo of a Japanese mother having her 5 month old baby girl scanned for radiation exposure this morning, I realized that all of the problems I have ever had, truly do not compare. Even the worst I've experienced, the loss of a parent when still only a child really hasn't prepared me to fully understand what that mother must be feeling.
*sigh*
Still, somehow, some way ~ love is the answer. Love and laughter, and doing whatever else we can do to help, however we can do it.
A lightened heart is born in light, so please keep making me smile.

What a fantastic use for glue stick containers, and an adorable Red Riding Hood!
