I'm so excited, a friend handed over a 10 Gallon trash bag full of beautiful fiber strips--for me!
These pictures don't do justice to these lovely fibers. I can't wait to make something with them. I immediately thought how excited my students (children) would be to rummage through the colorful shreds, then I thought, how I want to hoard them and create a masterpiece all by myself... but no, I couldn't.

I also have an idea of braiding a long thick rope with a community of artists to make some out- door installation, with hundreds of people coming together (just like the fibers) in unity and making a circle or some other shape or structure. My husband said I was full of BIG ideas and not enough fruition. Well, what do you think?
I can't help it... I see so much beauty in the leftovers and think "what can we make of this?" "How can I say something poetic and public while concurrently allowing others to contribute and create a conversation with each other?" That's why I make and teach about Art making.
This summer I will find a way to bring these ideas and elements together, along with a group of creative individuals! Come back and you will see, if you have any thoughts to add please post me a comment.
