THIS IS THE BLOG/DIARY FOR MIGHTY GIRL ART™! OUR NEW WEBSITE IS LOCATED HERE!

* The purpose of our documentation is to provide a window into the creative process and the interactions within our circle. It keeps the memory of our work together alive and offers a touchstone to revisit later for further reflection by the facilitators, the parents and the children.

Women are the primary resource of the planet. They give birth, we come from them. They are mothers, they are visionaries, they are the future. If we can figure out how to make women feel safe and honor women, it would be parallel or equal to honoring life itself."

- Eve Ensler



Day Two : Wild & Free


"All good things are wild and free." - Henry David Thoreau


What a joy it was to see the girls arrive this morning with their handmade tote bags over their shoulders.




While waiting for everyone to arrive, the girls donned tattoos and inked themselves with body markers.






















We got right to work on our journals, adding the background colors.  In the coming days we will add images, collage and text.






We placed the journals in the sun to dry, then went into the forest to cool off near the creek.
























Early summer my family and I took a drive to Grayson Highlands State Park in search of the wild ponies.  We found them and they were magnificent.  The ponies were the inspiration for our secondary project.



Ann Wood is one of my favorite artists and makes many beautiful and enchanting things.  In 2006 she began making a herd of cardboard horses and in 2007 her stampede of 100 horses went on exhibition at a gallery in Tinlarkin Los Angeles.  She shares her pattern and instructions here!  

I printed Ann's pattern onto cereal boxes that I collected from my neighbors.  The herd was ready for the girls to cut, paint and assemble.





Tomorrow we are half way through our journey.  The week is galloping by.

Made so & rooted by love,
Wendy

Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind. - Henry James
