The magic of Cirque du Soleil

We had such a magical evening! The performance was amazing! Sights and sounds titillated the imaginations of us all!

We saw Alegria!  The kids were amazed at the acrobatic feats and the costuming.  The fact that they design every last bit is awesome.  The costumes, the music and all the stage settings and lights.  They have a live band which is fabulous.  As you can see I am running out of adverbs!!

I ordered the CD so that Georgie and I will have the music to listen too!  She will love it.  I think I will also order her a tee shirt to surprise her for her 15th birthday!!

Well just wanted to let you all know that we had a great time.  We went to Olive Garden to finish the evening off.  I had a Chocolate Martini!!  Yummy!!

Have a magical and blessed day!

Silent Saturday ~ Part Nineteen

Traveling New Mexico can leave one breathless!  The landscape....always awe-inspiring!

This time we are traveling through Jemez Springs and it is a beautiful and bright sunny day!

The above are examples of adobe walls...well, what is left after the ravages to time.  Sun, wind, sand...all have made their mark upon these traditional structures.

The springs at Jemez!

Girls just want to have fun!!!


Have a magical and blessed weekend!  I am off to see Cirque de Soleil!!

WIP ~ Fiber Sculpture ~ Day Eight

My helper has been a Godsend!  My granddaughter, Georgia Rose!  Such a blessing she is!  We have been working away and have canvas one almost completed.  Will be building canvas two tonight so we can start on that tomorrow!  All we have to do is put two sections together to make up canvas two!

Here are some pics of Georgia putting fiber fill into the buckrum tubes....

The buckrum tubes are 8 feet long and are quite firm.

Here is the newest tube attached to canvas one...

Also you can now see the handmade paper on the upper portion of the canvas!!!

The next photos show the material I will applying onto the tube.

These next photos show some twigs that will be used on the piece as well as the addition of some red within the handmade paper.  The red that you see in the middle is also handmade paper.  It it made in Thailand and is Kozo fiber paper.

There you have a further update on the fiber piece!  I hope you are enjoying the process.  I must get back to work.  I only have my helper for one more week!!

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a magical and blessed week!!
