Art Assemblage:"Bird" 13 y
New assemblage piece
ASSEMBLAGE: BIRD
This piece shows a bird walking across a varied landscape of fabric pieces and textured foil. Scattered egg shell pieces dot the landscape. The box holds the feathers of the bird which sits lovingly on a soft cotton cushion. A hardware piece surrounds a wooden ”egg” on a pedestal.

Poem:Choose to be different
CHOICE
Imprisoned
in a cage of thought.
Caught in the cesspool of
imagined reality.
Words sitting there
like lead balls in the
center
of my being.
Words rolling across space,
slithering,
not forming anything
of consequence.
Whose eyes do you see through?
Scatter the green,
grow anew
on contaminated ground.
What matters
in the chaos,
That many holy feet have walked among us?
Sheep follow in endless circles
And jump like lemmings
Over the cliff.
Brave, the one who dares to question
And choose a different path.
Lonely that path may be,

CORN SONG

So now!

This is another story from my childhood when I was with my Grandfather.
Getting Ready to Plant
In the spring I would go to visit my Grandfather. By the time I had gotten there he had already begun the process of getting the garden soil ready. Grandfather took me to the garden and showed me the garden space. He had me take off my shoes and socks and we walked around the garden. He would sing a song to the soil. He had me sing my own ”made up” song to the soil. The song said how much we loved the soil and how much we appreciated it. The song said we would do our best to take care of the things planted there. Then we went to ... read more Story:Squirrels 13 y
This is another story from when I was a child with my Grandfather
SQUIRRELS It was getting to be fall and there was already a chill in the air. The farm had a lot of oak trees, so there were a lot of acorns on the ground. My Grandfather and I liked to watch the squirrels run around gathering up the acorns to hide away for the winter. One day, as we were watching the squirrels, my Grandfather asked me if I thought I could get the squirrels to get acorns out of my hands. I was young and didn’t think about it, so I said I thought I could. Then he asked how I would go about that task. He asked me if I had noticed when the squirrels came around to ga ... read more ART:Altered Gift Book 13 y
I belong to an art group that recently had a gift exchange. Had to be hand made. So I made this altered book for that exchange. You can see the front cover has a "zipper" flower in the middle! Thought it was unique!

Someone sent me this link which reminded me of trips we used to take when I was a kid.
Those long trips were boring and these Burma Shave signs kept me entertained!

Grandfather teaches me about the Five Stones of Living
THE FIVE STONES OF LIVING When I was a child I learned a lot from my Grandfather. He used to tell me a lot of stories and teach me many things. Over the years the teachings have stood by me and this teaching is one I have found very valuable. It sounds very simple (as were all of his teachings) but if really thought about it is discovered that they are very deep and useful.
One day my Grandfather said that he wanted to tell me a story. He said that I would need to help him. Naturally, I was happy as I always loved his stories. So he took me by the hand and said we wo ... read more Art: I Love Dolls! 14 y

New assemblage art on the theme of death and the AfterLife
"AfterLife 3"
I have been in an art challenge called “Afterlife".
I had started this piece quite awhile ago but never got around to finishing it.
I had posted another piece called "Afterlife" already. So I guess this is "Afterlife 3".
The dead person is laying in its coffin, looking at the light that leads it to the next
phase. The light has many red bulbs giving the person energy to move forward.
The light base has a heart that symbolizes the love that they had while they were alive. The angel hovers near to help be a gu ... read more Poem:Who Hears My Song? 14 y
As an elder I have often thought about how few younger people are interested in the things we have to teach. I have listened to many Native Elders talk about the same thing. Their stories, songs and ceremonies are being lost for lack of interest. It is so sad. There is so much to be taught and shared.

CREATION MYTH
Ever beginning,

Energy has no name or being.
It has no gender.
It has no name.
When it has a name,
its name is Great Mother.
Great Mother is Divine.
Great Mother is Love.
Because Her true nature is Love,
She radiates Love everywhere.
This Love emanates through out the universes
and manifests as solar systems, planets,

New assemblage art representing the cycle of death and rebirth
"Afterlife #2"
"Afterlife #1"
“Afterlife #2” is the outside of the box. It shows the gold columns and the black lion statue on top that is reminiscent of the Egyptian sarcophagi where the Pharaohs were laid to rest.
Open the door and you see “Afterlife #1” which shows a skeleton and doll hanging from the top which revolves around; this symbolizes the cycle of death and rebirth.
