The Rest of the Story for Cee’s FOTD Aug 17, 2023

Here is the state of the banana cluster for Cee’s FOTD. The flower was already shown HERE.
as a “What flower is this?” post. Two folks guessed immediately. Guess there are more banana growers in the world than simply me! The bananas are presently just 5 inches long. The red part of the flower is 10 inches. I think the fluffy part at the top of the flower is actually little aborted bananas. Is that as much as you wanted to hear about bananas today? I’m fascinated, looking forward to another crop as there wasn’t one last year and bananas mean banana bread. And calories. Hmmm.

Cee’s response to the Lens Artists Challenge inspired me to do three quickie shots through my living room/office windows. See her window shots HERE.

Today we made earrings and bracelets. Each item unique. It is amazing how handy and creative they are. This is my last day of camp. They have one day more.

Kids Art Camp, Aug 14, 2023

Click on photos to see larger views of these budding jewelry artists!  All total, 30 kids took part in my jewelry making group today, 8 at a time. Each person’s work was so unique that I just had to take a picture of each one with his or her bracelet. I put out the beads and cut the stringing material, and the kids worked with utter concentration. So much fun.  On Wednesday, we make earrings!!!! I love working with kids here. They are so creative and each one does entirely their own thing.
