CAMBODIAN STORY ROPES

There's Marcia in Cambodia teaching the story ropes this past week!

Amazing seeing what started in Rwanda, is now going to the nations!

Once I get the stories I'll be posting Marcia's Cambodian experience on Our Stories, my other blog.

SIX PEARS

My friend, AJ Picard, exhibited 2 of his beautiful pear pastels in an open house art exhibit we had a few years ago.

I enjoyed his work so much that week, hanging in my kitchen.

During the week I noted that 3 'real' pears I had in a basket, had ripened to the same coloring as those in the painting. I could not resist setting up this shot.

INVESTING IN MARCIA

This past year Marcia came for a week to study with me. I taught her every story-telling technique I know. She made a story rope, accordion books, collages & gospel tags.

I invested a week in Marcia, confident that God would use her life story, shared in creative ways.

From here she went to Nicaragua & Hungary doing storying techniques with multiple groups.

Now she's in Cambodia. Her pictures are streaming in on FB. I do see Gospel tags. The stories will come later. (photos)

YES! She has taken everything she's learned & run with it & she does it all better than me!

YOU SEE SO MUCH

You see so much on these cross-cultural trips. I'm thinking about that as my friend, Marcia, sends pictures back from S.E. Asia, where she is multiplying over and over what she learned in my art studio.

I was remembering something I saw on one of my own trips.

The orphanage was filled with throw away children. I will never forget the small boy, laying on his back, staring at the ceiling, with two tears running down his cheek. I felt so helpless standing beside him. My friend said, "Their little bodies are like prisons."

FALL AT STORM KING

Sometimes it's good to get out of the studio & go someplace inspiring - a time to refresh body & spirit.

Storm King is that kind of place. An amazing sculpture park about an hour from where we live.

It's pretty mind-bending to see monumental sculptures generously spaced out over 500 acres - artists' work living in the Creators' world.

I took these photos a couple fall seasons ago.
