great horoscope for a recycle reuse artist!!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): "The Star-Spangled Banner" is America's
national anthem. It features the lyrics of a patriotic poem written by
Francis Scott Key. But the melody itself is entirely lifted from a bawdy old
song that celebrates Bacchus, the ancient god of wine and ecstatic
dancing. I love it when things are repurposed as dramatically as that. Do
you? The coming weeks will be prime time to repurpose stuff with
creative abandon. Make the past useful for the future, Taurus. Turn good
old ideas into fantastic new ones. Don't just recycle; transform.

next up, winter......

a video to watch

http://vimeo.com/53265289yup, I made a video with my "commemoration" piece.

Commemoration

Just finished filming/making the commemorative piece I've been thinking about...a celebration of the people who touch the lives of children, and give hope and light bits to what otherwise, for many, is actually a dark time...childhood.

How would "we" otherwise survive? Rather than dig up a sad past, I wanted to celebrate this person that survived. .....
and so I baked a cake, a fancy cake, with lots of butter and decorations and sparkling sugar. Celebrate, people!
