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 Four: It's a Wrap!



"Let the beauty of what you love be what you do." - Rumi













































Today we got right to work on Giving Tree (wood transfer) Ornaments...






























and finished our "blessing cups".




























Our final project for the day was Flying Wish Talismans.  We used flying wish paper to set our wishes soaring, then collected the ash into a tiny glass vial.  We added some sparkle, then sealed the vials with melted wax.   This project was inspired by the Holiday Wish Bottles in the Free People catalog...
and also my friend, Becky







Our closing ceremony for the Wintry Workshop was a Releasing Ceremony.  We wrote down all the things we wished to release so to enter the new year a bit lighter.  We wrote upon very large leaves which I had collected earlier and set out to dry.  We had intended to send them sailing in the creek, but it began to rain so we decided to release them into the fire.









































We celebrated with S'mores...




















and we said our farewells.























Dear Mighty Girls,

The weeks have gone by so quickly.  The fire is out, the supplies are put away, the floors swept and mopped.  The candle is still burning in the window and I've been sitting in the dark making a video from our session this morning.    It's so quiet...and I already miss your joyful, creative presence. 

Well...I guess it's a wrap! Oh, and speaking of wrap, here are some lovely wrapping ideas to inspire you:

Have a happy holiday girls!  Until we meet again...

Made so & rooted by love,
Wendy
