<br />
I have some very sad news. As you all know, we've moved to beautiful Shenandoah Valley where I planned to relaunch Mighty Girl Art in the summer of 2020. Only three months after we moved into our first home in VA, my husband unexpectedly died of a sudden heart attack. Amidst our deep grieving, I have been trying to find full time employment to care for our son. Our home was purchased on my husband's salary, not mine, therefore it is unlikely that I will earn enough to afford to keep our home and support our son. At some point, I will likely have to sell the house we worked so hard for. My husband had basic life insurance, but that will not cover the cost of the house. In addition there are hospital bills, the first of which is 13k. <br />
<br />
Robert was a former history teacher who had a dream to work in public interest law and serve poor and marginalized communities. He cashed in his retirement, took out student loans and put himself through law school. We met in NYC, fell in love, moved to Syracuse where he worked for Legal Aid, and where I gave birth to our son. A year later he was offered a position with the Social Security Administration, we moved to Virginia where we had been renting ever since. In June of 2019 we purchased a home in rural Virginia in an effort to lower our cost of living, pay down his law school debt, and finally own a home of our own. Three months later, a sudden and unthinkable tragedy struck our family.<br />
<br />
Please have patience while I try to find my way through all of this. Once I secure employment, I will re-launch Mighty Girl Art during my time off from work. Art is a language, a form of expression that empowers and heals. I will continue to find ways to hold space and presence for your daughters' expression, but it's going to take me some time to figure it all out.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, my beloved friend, Petra, set up a gofundme to help with the financial catastrophe of my husband's death. If you wish to donate to the fund or simply share this info with someone who may be able to help in any way, we would be very grateful. Here is the link<br />

Dear Mighty Ones,
<br />
<br />
We are moving to scenic Shenandoah Valley!!! We will be moving in June. While we will miss our Forest / Meadow in Reston, we are greatly looking forward to making art with you at our beautiful new location.<br />
<br />
Please stay tuned for our re-launch in the summer of 2020.<br />

I can hardly believe it's our last week in the wintry workshop. <br />
<br />
We began the morning with hot cocoa, and catching up with each other after a week away from the studio. While sipping hot cocoa, the girls examined the dried plants and seeds in the vase on the table, and drew pictures of them
on their pouches before filling them. They wrote the common names and the
scientific Latin names because the latter sounds like Harry Potter
magic spells which is way more fun. The seeds (and the plants) can be
planted now and they will be ready for growing season. Click <b><a href="https://www.americanmeadows.com/blog/2017/09/11/plant-milkweed-seed-fall/" target="_blank">HERE </a></b>for
instructions on how to plant milkweed seed in the Fall. <br />

We then went to work on our first project, power bracelets. I saw these adorable beaded power word bracelets in a local store last month, and thought it would be a fun project for the Mighty Girls. We added a porous lava bead to absorb a drop of essential oil for a little extra magic.<br />

We then began a secondary project, Candy Cane sugar scrub. This is an invigorating slough for dry skin (not recommended for face or sensitive areas). It has no artificial ingredients or scents. *We added a dash of red sugar sprinkles to give it a candy cane look and a few drops of peppermint essential oil. There are numerous tutorials on how to make sugar scrub, and you can scent it with your favorite essential oil.<br />

The first week of our Wintry Workshop our Mighty B expressed her love for butterflies and her vision of one day having a small pollinator garden in her yard to provide the right habitat to attract and host butterflies. I contacted Barbara Tuset at <b><a href="http://audubonva.org/audubon-at-home-1/" target="_blank">Audubon Society of Northern Virginia</a></b> who put me in touch with a local native plant expert Karen Prante. Karen culled some native plants and seeds for each of the Mighty Girls to start their own pollinator gardens. We are very grateful to Karen and Barbara for their generosity.<br />

We closed our last session with our wishing ceremony. We steeped some Aurora Borealis Tea from <a href="https://www.spiceandtea.com/aurora-blue-herbal-tea-3343.html" target="_blank">Spice & Tea Exchange of Alexandria</a>. It contains Butterfly Pea Flower which creates an enchanting blue color that <a href="https://www.bonappetit.com/drinks/non-alcoholic/article/butterfly-pea-flower-color-changing-tea" target="_blank">turns pink with lemon</a>.<br />

While the tea steeped, the girls wrote their wishes onto flying wish paper. The wishes could be for themselves, for the earth, or for humanity. There are no rules to wishing. Once the wishes were written, we lit them aflame so our wishes could fly into the air. Don't worry, it's safe! We then catch the ash and blow the ash into the wintry breeze. You can find Flying Wish paper <b><a href="https://www.flyingwishpaper.com/" target="_blank">here</a></b>.<br />

We celebrated the coming season with S'mores followed by a quick romp into the woods to make houses for wee folk, fairies, elves, and gnomes! It was their creative idea and I'm always happy to oblige. T'is the season!<br />

Dear Mighty Girls,<br />
<br />
WOW! These 4 weeks with you went by so fast! I am so proud of all that you accomplished in the studio, and how beautiful your handmade creations turned out. May you have a magical holiday season, surrounded by love and creativity. May you enjoy all the gifts of the seasons that nature so generously provides. <br />
<br />
As we enter the season of giving, let us remember the indigenous nations upon whose land we live. If you don't already know whose land you live on, <a href="https://native-land.ca/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">here is a map</span></a> that will help you. What was the name of the tribe? What was the original language of the people? Can you learn to speak one word in the original language? What word will you choose? I choose <i>Miigwetch</i>. It means, "Thank you".<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is something beautiful to read:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://americanindian.si.edu/environment/pdf/01_02_Thanksgiving_Address.pdf" target="_blank"><b>Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address: <i>Greetings to the Natural World</i></b></a><br />
<br />
Thank you for joining me for another season of Mighty Girl Art. Remember, everything you do is sacred. In 2019 Mighty Girl Art will be moving to the beautiful Shenandoah Valley. We hope that you will join us at our new nest near the mountains. Until then and always...<br />
<br />
Made so & rooted by love,<br />
Wendy<b></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
PS. Here is some land art by Andy Goldsworthy and James Brunt to inspire you. Please send me pictures if you decide to make some land art of your own. <br />

When the girls arrived we got right work, removing the felted soaps (that were drying all week) from their casing. The girls added ribbon and gift card.

We then began knitting a winter scarf on a zippy loom. The girls picked out a skein of yarn that they liked and we talked a bit about how to use the loom. The zippy loom is a terrific tool for making quick and easy scarves and blankets with bulky yarn. With a little practice you can make a scarf in 15-20 minutes. At that rate you could easily make a basket full of scarves and give them to a homeless shelter ( holiday hint ).

After the scarves were completed, we began our secondary project - Bath Salts. These bath salts are free of artificial scents and colorings. The girls added a blend of essential oils and crushed flowers. It's a wonderful gift for a magical hot soak on a cold winter day.</div>

</i><br />
<i>to see that inner landscape,

As the girls arrived they helped themselves to hot cocoa, and once settled we went right to work on our first project - felted soap. Felted soaps are a real treat and are sold in stores like Anthropologie and <a href="https://www.fiatluxedesigns.com/" target="_blank">Fiat Luxe</a>. We used a natural and wintry peppermint soap, as well as a relaxing lavender blend.<br />

The girls wrapped the soap with colorful merino wool, and used a wet felting technique to create the exterior. <br />
<br />
If you would like to try this at home, here is a tutorial for Ashley at Apartment Therapy.<br />

Once the soaps were felted they were set aside to dry until next week. We then went on a nature walk to enjoy the beautiful brisk day.<br />

When we returned we began our secondary project. Winter candles. We used the packing tape transfer method to decorate them. The transfers add a translucent image to the glass that adds to the glow.<br />

This morning I awoke grateful for the way we've circled around to another wintry session. So many memories here in this space. This year is the last session in this location as I and my family prepare for a move farther west, near the mountains. I have already been searching for the new location for our Mighty Tipi. This wintry session is a small session, because I'm juggling many things and wish to be fully present rather than pulled into too many places. <i></i><br />
<i><br /></i>
The girls arrived one by one. Some have already met from prior sessions. Some are new to the studio. One is an alumni who is both creating and helping and adding her own magic to the creative circle. A mighty dad, Mr. Z, who is an expert carver and balloon artist popped in to show us his witch mask that he created. What a delight!<br />

We warmed up with hot cocoa. The ceremonial sipping of cacao <i>(or hot chocolate in our case)</i>
can be traced back to 1900 BC and was offered in sacred ceremonies by
the Mayan and Aztec people. Chocolate comes from the seeds of the
cacao, a sacred plant in some ancient cultures. Chocolate increases the
release of dopamine, endorphins, and Anandamide ( a neurotransmitter
that promotes a blissful feeling). <br />

While waiting to begin, Mighty S drew a sketch of the Story Crow made by artist/writer and friend, Ginnylee Snyder.<br />

We began the morning designing and creating hand painted mugs. Creating these vessels is a
Wintry Workshop tradition. The power of simplicity is what makes these
mugs so lovely. It is "Inktober" after all. The mugs will be
fired and ready to use next week.<br />

The journals were put away and we began our secondary project. The talisman bracelet. The girls chose beads and a special charm and created a bracelet for themselves. Talismans date back to antiquity and are believed to bring good luck or protection to the person who wears them. We make talisman jewelry in every Mighty Girl Art gathering. The
Mighty Girl talismans are meant to be symbolic to the girl who creates
it. </div>

The girls then learned another printmaking technique called, Inkjet transfer and employed this method to decorate the shipping tags used in our closing ceremony. The tags will later be used as bookmarks. We had just enough time to squeeze in another project, so we made some super cool feather pens.<br />

After the closing ceremony we had a party with dragonfruit lemonade and edible flower ice cubes, and...a magical "moss" cake with berries. We said our goodbyes and packed up camp until next summer, leaving no trace.</div>

Dear Mighty Girls, <br />
<br />
Thank you for coming to Mighty Girl Art, for having the courage to say yes to a tipi in a woodland meadow. Thank you for your willingness to try new forms of creative expression. Thank you for believing in us and thank you for believing in yourselves. Mighty Girl Art is magical because you make it so. <br />
<br />
Thank you to all the Mighty Parents for blessing us with your extraordinary daughters. Thank you for your generosity, and for your kindness. <br />
<br />
Thank you to Chelsea for transforming me each summer, I could not do this work without your intuitive ways. Thank you to Mary and Nora for your hard work...I had always dreamed that one day a Mighty Girl would step into a leadership role of assisting and you made that happen this week. Thank you to Diane for seeing the beauty of this work and for wanting to help. <br />
<br />
Thank you to my dear friend, <a href="https://ladyfairlight.wixsite.com/-hermyone/potions-classes" target="_blank"><b>Lady Erin Fairlight</b></a>, for the edible flowers! <i> (Parents, Erin teaches magical potions classes for both adults and children where you learn to make everything from herbal remedies to bath bombs!)</i><br />
In closing I would like to say that Mighty Girl Art is what she is, not because of me, but because of US. ALL of us. And so I thank you all and I hope that you enjoy the rest of your summer. Until we meet again...<br />
<br />
Made so & rooted by love,</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Today we dove deeper into our art journals. The girls explored the medium of collage. The girls learned how to use a hand drill so they could attach twigs to their book spines. Ephemera and found objects were added, and rubber stamps, and oil pastels were introduced. <br /><br />Their journals are so beautiful and expressive. I am sure they will be excited to tell you about their creative process as they share their work with you.<br /><br />Tomorrow we will lead the girls through a writing prompt.</span></h1>

<br />
I can hardly believe tomorrow is our last day of camp. Tomorrow we will explore writing prompts.
Also, please remember to bring your tags with you tomorrow as we will be
decorating them and exchanging them during the closing ceremony.
*Parents, our closing ceremony begins at 11 am. There will be a pizza
party afterwards. <br />
<br />
Made so & rooted by love,<br />
Wendy</span></h1>

After morning gifts, the girls continued working on their art journals. Today they learned about print making with the use of a <a href="https://www.gelliarts.com/" target="_blank"><b>Gelli Plate</b></a> and began to explore this medium. The journals were then placed in the sun to dry so we could begin our secondary project.<br />

One of the things we love about printmaking is that there is a mystery to it. It doesn't always turn out the way you think it will. It is then we have to challenge ourselves to move past our expectations and use our creativity to move forward. If we don't make mistakes, we're not learning anything new. In art, sometimes you need to get lost to know the way. The beauty of the art journal is just that, it's a place to get lost in the exploration and find yourself. It's doesn't have to BE anything. It's pure creative expression and experimentation.<br />

Today we began weaving the webs for our dream catchers. We talked about the origin of the dream catcher, the Ojibwe / Chippewa nation from which it originated. Dream catchers are sometimes referred to as sacred hoops. They serve as a kind of talisman to protect sleeping people from nightmares. It was believed that as dreams fill the night air, the bad dreams would get caught in the web and dissolve at sunrise, while the good dreams would drip down to the dreamers. There are several indigenous stories associated with the dream catcher, and I would encourage you to seek them out because they are wonderful. In one of the stories, a maternal "Spider Woman" known as Grandmother Spider, served as the spiritual
protector for the tribe, especially the children. As the families began to grow and migrate across the land, Grandmother Spider needed a way to protect and watch
over all the members, so she created the first dreamcatcher. Spider teaches us that everything / everyone is connected. Spiders are masterful weavers and their webs are beautiful works of art. <br />

Asabikeshiinh is the Chipewa word for dream catcher, and also means spider. If you would like to hear something beautiful, take a moment to <a href="https://www.pbs.org/video/asabikeshiinh-spider-xehvy5/" target="_blank">listen to these children sing the spider song in Ojibwemowin!</a> I am always deeply moved when I hear the language of the first nations spoken.<br />

As the girls arrived they got right to work adding details on their walking sticks while waiting for the others. When everyone was here, we passed out the morning gift. <br />
<br />
Today's morning gift came from the generous folks at <a href="https://papayaart.com/" target="_blank"><b>Papaya Art</b></a>.
Today the girls received gorgeous colored pencils and pencil cases. The girls
were ecstatic! Papaya sent other gifts as well, stay tuned for those.
Papaya is family owned and operated by Gina and Anahata Katkin. Papaya
is known worldwide for their artistic aesthetic and their beautiful
collection of lifestyle and stationery products. We are deeply grateful
for the support and generosity. <br />

When we returned we began our secondary project, hula hoop dream catchers. The girls tore fabric into strips and wrapped their hoops. Tomorrow we will begin weaving the web...that's the exciting part.<br />

Early this morning we set up camp for the arrival of our Mighty Girls. While waiting for everyone to arrive, the girls helped themselves to the body art bin which is filled with hair chalk, nail polish, body markers, face paints and tattoos. <br />
<br />
Once everyone arrived we began our opening ceremony. We talked about the lineage of those who mothered us and those who mothered the mothers and those we choose to honor by our being here together.<br />
<br />
After the opening ceremony we handed out the morning gifts. Today's delightful morning gift was a <a href="http://www.landsend.com/products/womens-pom-pom-bag-charm/id_318118?cm_mmc=PublicRelations-_-CSR-_-MightyGirlArt-_-LE" target="_blank">pom pom charm </a>for their Frida Kahlo mercado bags. The pom charms were sent to the girls from the wonderful folks at <b><a href="http://www.landsend.com/shop/kids?cm_re=lec-_-global-_-glbnv-kids-_-20160316-_-txt?cm_mmc=PublicRelations-_-CSR-_-MightyGirlArt-_-LE" target="_blank">Land's End</a>. </b> Here is their message to the girls...<br />
<br />
<i>"At Lands’ End, we are committed to encourage kids to enjoy the discovery of things they never knew. We hope you enjoy this gift and always remember to never stop learning. Have a great summer!"</i><br />

known for self portraits. She had polio as a child that affected her
right leg. She studied medicine and was going to become a doctor, but
she was in a tragic bus accident at the age of 18 in which she was
severely injured and placed in a body cast. While she was bedridden and
recovering, she began painting. She transformed her wounds and her pain
with her art by painting self portraits. Frida has become a role
model for generations of artists, for women, and for people with
disabilities. </div>

I want to tell you about a special project launched by one of my original Mighty Girls. Her name is Chloe and you may remember her <b><a href="http://mightygirlart.blogspot.com/2011/08/some-days-i-feel-i-have-wings-day-3.html" target="_blank">from camp</a> </b>many years ago, or from our<b><a href="http://www.mightygirlart.com/e-camp.html" target="_blank"> e-course</a></b>, or <b><a href="http://mightygirlart.blogspot.com/2014/03/mighty-girl-art-at-maker-faire.html" target="_blank">Maker Faire,</a></b> or more recently when she came back as an <b><a href="http://mightygirlart.blogspot.com/2015/08/day-one-like-river-flows.html" target="_blank">alumni to intern for summer camp</a></b>.<br />
<br />
Chloe is 15 years old and a student at SLHS. She has created a support site for people living with anxiety and depression. Its called <b><a href="https://projectsky23.wixsite.com/projectsky" target="_blank">Project Sky</a>.</b> I decided to interview her and let her tell you about it in her own words.<br />

Wendy: What inspired you to start Project Sky?<br />
<br />
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Chloe :</i> </span><i><span style="font-family: inherit;">In March, I saw the show Dear Evan Hansen on broadway. The show was absolutely amazing and really put a light on Anxiety and other Mental Illnesses (like depression) and gave the whole message that you are not alone and that you will be found. After seeing it I was obsessed. I loved every message it gave us. And I almost didn’t go because of my own anxiety. Then I heard about the middle years project. They said we’d be spending a lot of time on this so, we better pick something we like. Immediately I knew it was going to be something DEH related. So I created Project Sky, inspired by the show and more specifically the Connor Project which was an organization made in the show to show everyone they matter and aren’t alone. I wanted to help people, Mental illness is so overlooked and it’s very easy for them to feel alone. I wanted to provide some light in their life. I see it as everyone goes through tunnels some are longer and shorter than others, but no matter what there is a light at the end of each tunnel. I want to help power everyone’s flashlight.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></i></div>

<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Wendy: That's so b</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">eautiful! </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">What is the target audience age range for blue sky?</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Chloe:</i><b> </b></span><i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Project Sky is for everyone. Everyone deserves to know they aren’t alone. Everyone deserves some light in their life!</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></i></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Wendy: </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">You mentioned that you also experience anxiety. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Can you share a personal experience and what you found most helpful in working thru that moment?</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Chloe: </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Well I have had Anxiety for a while and it has definitely gotten easier. Like my grandma says “time heals all wounds” things get easier through time. Also knowing I wasn’t alone, and that I had people around me who cared about me. I created Project Sky because I want to show people that things can get easier and they will and that they are not alone no matter what.</span></i></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Wendy:<b> </b>What is the something you can do to be a flashlight for someone who is feeling the anxiety tunnel?</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">What is something you shouldn’t do?</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Chloe:<b> </b></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">To help power a flashlight, let the other person know that you are there for them and offer help and a safe space. Letting them know they aren’t alone can mean the world to someone. Don’t make them seem like they don’t matter and that their situation is small and doesn’t need attention. Try to understand as much as possible but it can be very hard to put yourself in someone else’s shoes in a situation when you haven’t felt that was yourself.</span></i></div>

The last project of our 2017 wintry workshop was a loom knit scarf. A perfect project for a cold and blustery day. The girls picked out a skein of yarn that they liked and we talked a bit about how to use the loom. The zippy loom is a terrific tool for making quick and easy scarves and blankets with bulky yarn. With a little practice you can make a scarf in 15-20 minutes. At that rate you could easily make a basket full of scarves and give them to a homeless shelter ( holiday hint ). <br />

Mighty N, stepped outside in the fresh brisk air to knit for a spell and she looked so lovely with that wintry light illuminating the edges of her hair. I asked her permission to capture the beauty of that moment and she agreed. I'm so glad. One of the great joys for me during Mighty Girl Art is getting to witness these luminous souls being themselves. And they are all so wonderful and have their own unique gifts. </div>

As you can see, the girls did an outstanding job on their scarves!<br />

After we finished the scarves we launched wishes for a new season using <b><a href="https://www.flyingwishpaper.com/" target="_blank">flying wish paper</a></b> and afterwards we made s'mores. Due to the wind advisory we were unable to have a bonfire, so we got creative and roasted our marshmallows over candles. We even had a little extra time to get inked.<br />

The morning began below freezing. There was ice in the boot tray when I went outside to hang the giant paper snowflake that marks the trail to the studio. I received a text from Mighty E which read:<br />
<br />
<i>"It's below freezing are we still going for a hike?"</i><br />
<br />
"Yes"<br />
<br />
<i>"Yay!"</i><br />

Our plan was to take our hike first then come back and work on our projects. We crossed the stone bridge in search of a patch of princess pine to place inside our ornaments. Lycopodium obscurum, also called rare clubmoss, is a native plant and grows in the understory of the forest. They look like miniature trees for fairy folk. They are ancient plants and I was told that they are prehistoric, but of this I'm not certain.<br />

We stopped to take a group photo atop the big boulders, before making our way off trail in search of a fallen tree to cross. The tree was a bit high above the creek and somewhat challenging for those afraid of heights, but they did it. It can be invigorating to push past our comfort zones and land safely on the other side.<br />

Our second project was origami lucky stars to fill our second ornament. Wishes were written onto strips of paper and folded into stars before slipping them into the ornament. These are tricky to make at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's super easy. Here is a video tutorial to help you remember if you decide to make more at home.<br />

Our last project of the morning was a simple and really cool pendant that incorporates the spring from a wooden clothespin. When I measured the gauge of the chain, I didn't realize that clothespin springs come in different sizes and I measured for a spring that was larger than the others so the chain would not slide through. These super creative girls decided to improvise.<br />

After class I drove to Maryland for the <a href="https://owlmoon.org/" target="_blank">Owl Moon Raptor</a> Festival. I have to say I've never seen so many owls up close and in one place before, including species I have never seen in person. I was pleased to see three mighty girls there also. Mighty S, brought her sketchbook and sketched many of the raptors.<br />

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.<br />

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.<br />
<br />
*We used acrylic beads because glass beads, while lovely, make the bracelets qute heavy. I purchased the beads from <a href="https://www.beadtin.com/faceted-rounds" target="_blank">BeadTin</a> because they have a wonderful selection of colors that I can't find anywhere else.<br />
<br />
While we worked on our project, we listened to some really cool Ukranian folk music <a href="http://www.restoncommunitycenter.com/attend-shows-events-exhibits/event-detail/2017/11/27/default-calendar/dakhabrakha-1718" target="_blank">DakhaBrakha who will be performing at Reston Community Center Theater on Nov. 26th. </a><br />
<br />
Lastly, you might be interested to know that if the rain clears up there will be a magical <a href="https://greenfielddavid.wixsite.com/lanternwalk2017" target="_blank">lantern walk this evening sponsored by Mt. Pleasant Puppet Hour</a>! It's super enchanting.<br />
<br />
Dear Mighty Girls, <br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
Made so & rooted by love,<br />

It was a grey and rainy day, but it was warm for Autumn. I lit some candles and opened up the door to let the fresh air into to the studio. The girls arrived, gathered 'round the work table and helped themselves to hot cocoa. We took some time to settle in and catch up. The girls were happy to try out the tattoo ink and stamps that <a href="https://www.clearsnap.com/" target="_blank">ClearSnap</a> sent for our body art toolbox. The ink is skin safe and fun to use. The stamps make adorable little tattoos. Thank you ClearSnap!<br />

Once settled, we began working on our mugs. Creating these vessels is a Wintry Workshop tradition. The power of simplicity is what makes these mugs so lovely. It is "Inktober" afterall. Tonight the mugs will be fired and ready to use next week.<br />

While the mugs were set aside to dry, we began our secondary project. The girls painted paper mache houses. These charming houses will be lit from within with a battery operated candle. They make an enchanting little night light during those cold, dark winter nights.<br />

When the girls arrived they began adding details to their art journals. When our circle was complete we presented morning gifts, mini alpha stamps and glitter glue. Once everyone settled in we began our writing prompts for our art journals.</div>

Prompt # 1 (inspired by artist, <a href="http://www.penelopedullaghan.com/" target="_blank">Penelope Dulligan</a> who does this exercise with her daughter about the parts of her day): <br />
<br />
I asked the girls to imagine a flower which rests upon a thorny stem. Upon it there is also one bud waiting to bloom. I asked them to draw this flower in their art journals. Next we named the parts. <br />
<br />
I explained that the flower represents the good things happening in their lives right now, things that make them happy. Beside the flower, I asked them to write a word or two about something they are grateful for. Next I asked the girls what the thorny part might represent and they immediately answered, "things that hurt". "YES", I replied, "hurt, anger, fear...now name thorns". Lastly, I asked what the unopened bud might represent. The girls answered, "something waiting to bloom or happen". "Yes", I replied, "now write about something you are looking forward to or waiting for".<br />

Prompt # 2:<br />
<br />
I asked the girls to close their eyes and place both hands upon their open journal. I asked them to think about the Ursual Le Guin poem that I read to them on the first day. I asked them to think about the lines of their hands and imagine that their hands are maps. Next I asked them to open their eyes and trace both their hands onto the journal. The left hand is to represent what is held in the past. The right hand is to represent what the future may hold. I asked them to draw symbols or write words that maps the past - AND - to try to imagine possibilities for the future and map that too.</div>

First, a heartfelt thank you, to Chelsea and Grace for their hard work in making this happen. Thank you to my son, for carving all those walking sticks. Thank you to Robert, for bringing the pizza and for taking care our son. AND thank you to the parents for inviting these Mighty Girls into being!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
Dear Mighty Girls,<br />
<br />
What a joy this week has been... to witness your
creative process and your sense of wonder. It was inspiring to witness the way you challenge yourselves to try new things, and learn new skills. I will miss you all so very
much. <br />
<br />
Parents, thank you for blessing us with the gift of your daughters. It was an honor to work with them.<br />
<br />
Also, know that
my studio door and my heart will always be open to you. If you find
yourself in my neck of the woods, please stop by. <br />
<br />
Until then...<br />
Walk fearlessly, well-loved one.<br />
<br />
Made so & rooted by love,<br />
Wendy</div>

We began the day with morning gifts. Today's gift came from the generous folks at <b><a href="https://www.naturallife.com/our-story" target="_blank">Natural Life</a></b>.
Natural Life was founded by Patti Hughes, a woman with a passion for
making things. Her product line includes clothing, accessories, home
decor and keepsake gifts with an artistic flair. This morning the girls received little coin purses and stickers. Thank you, Natural Life! <br />

The girls got right to work on their journals. Today they explored the use of collage and ephemera in their art journals. Two of our Mighty Girls discussed vision boards and how to make them so the girls could explore vision boards in their art journals. The purpose of a vision board is to bring your imagination to life. We use images or symbols for things we might like to achieve or places that we would like to visit and create a visual touchstone of hopes and dreams.<br />

When we returned, we began our secondary projec - Wayfinder Bracelets. Yesterday we made beads from old maps and storybook pages. Today we began stringing them. We added additional beads and charms.<br />

Dear Mighty Girls,<br />
<br />
I can hardly believe tomorrow is our last day of camp. Tomorrow we put finishing touches on our journals and we will explore writing prompts. Also, please remember to bring your tags with you tomorrow as we will be decorating them and exchanging them during the closing ceremony. *Parents, our closing ceremony begins at 11 am. There will be a pizza party afterwards. <br />
<br />
Made so & rooted by love,<br />
Wendy<br />
