In A Good Place
Hi all,
I hope this finds you happy and healthy! Here, I am in a very good place! It has been a long while since I felt like this so I am cherishing it.
I feel that even with all the crazy and ugly happening in the world, it is a good place and I am happy! I am not hiding from all the bad things, mind, just not letting them ruin my spirit!
Oh man, we tried to film my doll prank idea from a few yeas ago now. But things change and the house does not look like this anymore so we will need to refilm it all from scratch. This was the idea of creating a fake "haunted doll" and selling it on ebay (with it known it is a prank one) as a fundraiser :p
It is hard to tell here, but the under eye area has eyeshadow more then the eye lids... think it was purple mascara and I forgot to change into the purple eyeglasses for the scenes... But this might be from practicing the scene too and that is why I am wearing the wrong glasses... yeah, lets go with that! :p
I am super excited!! I am teaching my first felting class!! They know i am self taught and know I am a beginner but still want to learn, so excited!! I ordered some churro to use and some soaps from another Alaskan indigenous woman because we need to support each other! It is a closed class, specifically for the tribal doctor people but it is a start. I bought some zip lock bags, couple things of nylon knee highs and have fibers and stuff to bring to decorate if they like...
It is a free class, I did say to bring their own soaps but in case they forgot I will provide these one.

I sent her a note to include cards to pass out so they can find her again. I wanted to get into soap making but had so many things I wanted to try that it got set aside as I delved into the fiber arts.
It makes me happy that I can teach a bit of what I know. I decided on soaps since it is easy and does not take long. I cant wait until I can get a studio space and hold regular classes and share the tools I have because it is soooooooooo expensive to gather them all! I figure we can do a simple barter thing, where if they are already skilled they can make 2 and I get to keep/sell the second one or something like that... or where they can do prep works to help earn the fibers though I am not out to exploit or get rich off of my peoples!
To my way of thinking, they are most likely more creative then me so I can get them into making the stuff and when I make my films I will have people to make the costumes with me! hehe, yes, still planning the films... gets put off but not forgotten!
One strange thing is how so much has changed since I first wrote the screen plays for them. Some of the locations are gone, the businesses are gone and I will need to rewrite them once we are doing them to fit what new locations we find.
Why wasnt I born rich? lol, would rule the world by now! ok, so not quite that much but would definitely be able to do all the things I dream of! What I need is an indigenous with too much money and bored who wants to be there and watch someone else create magic!! if ya knows anybody like that... :p
Well, my good mood is hopefully contagious and you will leave with a smile! I hope your day improves as your mood lifts!
hugs and loves,
