The storm moon did not go out as a lamb around here. We had a spring snow storm on the mountain. We had physical and emotional discomfort in our home.
Last Wednesday I broke down in tears from frustration. It felt like our day was trashed. It was Baanko's idea to full embrace that feeling by acting it out. In her estimation it was a great day for dumpster diving. She headed to the recycling box in our broom closet and emerged with a cardboard egg carton and an old pizza box. It was time to hone her skills in shape shifting.
The outlines of two nesting bowls on the old pizza box created the pattern for the wreath. The egg carton cut into twelve independent cups and shaped with petals made the flowers. Bright paint and rhinestones transformed it into a wreath of bright spring blooms. The process of repurposing trash into a craft treasure gave us just enough purpose and direction to pull us up and out of the emotional storm. Now that's real magic!
