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



Week Three: Feathers


"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all," - Emily Dickinson
























We sipped hot cocoa and read the above poem, then discussed our plans for the morning.  What are your hopes?  What makes your soul sing?  We thought about the poem and these questions later on as we worked on our projects.

















Before we took our morning walk in Big Woods,  Mighty M read a poem that she wrote.  It was so powerful and beautiful that we all clapped.

















During our walk we met two horses, Magnus and Lucia.











































 We headed back to the studio to begin working on our Twine Feather ornament.



































After the twine feathers were set aside to dry until our next class, we made keepsake ornaments with hollow glass orbs.  The girls filled them with found objects like princess pine, and feathers.

They learned how to make twisty wire hangers and incorporated beads and ribbons made from recycled sari shreds.























And of course, OF COURSE....we made S'mores.

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
