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."

Week Two: Soft Rain


and the soft rain—
imagine! imagine!
the wild and wondrous journeys
still to be ours.  - Mary Oliver





It was another rainy morn, but the glow of the little house lanterns was enchanting as I set up our work table.























When the girls arrived they helped themselves to hot cocoa in their self-designed mugs.  Mighty S brought a wondrous surprise to show the group.  While hiking recently, she found a fox skull.  Her mighty mom took it home and cleaned it.  Mighty S brought part of the lower jaw and passed it around.  She also found a peacock feather at the zoo.  We marveled over these magical objects.






















Our project for today was Safety Pin Bracelets.  We've made these in the past, but I received a request to make them again.  They are simple and fun to make.  We talked briefly about color combining, then the girls dove right in and began creating.
 











The girls enjoyed this project and since it was raining, we decided to skip our nature walk and S'mores so that they could make another bracelet.

*We used acrylic beads because glass beads, while lovely, make the bracelets qute heavy.  I purchased the beads from BeadTin because they have a wonderful selection of colors that I can't find anywhere else.

While we worked on our project, we listened to some really cool Ukranian folk music DakhaBrakha who will be performing at Reston Community Center Theater on Nov. 26th. 

Lastly, you might be interested to know that if the rain clears up there will be a magical lantern walk this evening sponsored by Mt. Pleasant Puppet Hour!  It's super enchanting.

Dear Mighty Girls,

You did an amazing job on your bracelets!  I hope that next week we'll be able to take a hike and enjoy a fire.  Until then, have a great week and I'll see you Sunday!

Made so & rooted by love,
Wendy
