Mobiles

This is Carolina, from Argentina.  When she saw Jak and I picking up trash to make art with, she got inspired to lead a bunch of school kids in doing the same.

More Fun at the Farm

We got alot of my favorite foods here-- salad and fresh bread!

The Casa.

Rachel and Larissa.  Super awesome ladies.  Love hearing all their stories from working on a trail crew in Yosemite. 

Band picture!

Waiting for the bus...

Cave near the farm.

Me with my beach combs!

... And of course the waterfall that is steps away from the house and I swim in every day!

Jak and I in Placencia

This is my good friend from the farm, Jak.  She works on an organic farm in the summertime in Vermont.  Here she is modeling a pair of earrings that I made with seeds from the farm.  My mom calls them Jobs Tears, but here they are called Jippy Jappy seeds.  She also has a dread hairpiece that came off of my head at the beach!

This is Bernardo with his impressive display! Zoom in.

The best part of this weekend trip was the garbage we found!  We pulled this baton out of a pile of garbage and I have been practicing with it ever since!  I put glow sticks around the end and it looks really awesome at night.  We also found some cool garbage on the beach which we made mobiles out of.

This is Sol, wearing a hemp hat that I made.

This is that skirt that I made with my dads help.

Cenote Zaci and my new yarn!

This is beautiful Cenote Zaci, a natural swimming hole in a cave, in Valladolid, Yucatan, Mexico. 

While I was in Valladolid, I went back to that Mexican market and got those sparkly yarns that I was thinking about!

Happy and Creative in Belize

I am doing well here at a beautiful farm near the Hummingbird Highway in the Maya Mountains of Belize. I have been taking a lot of great pictures of my travels and making some nice new things but I have not found a good computer to use so I have not been able to post or upload photos. I can't wait to show you more of my travels soon! Blessed Love
