How comfortable are you dealing with 20,000 people?
Me? I need something to do other than stand there waiting to talk about my art.

| The Wintter Queen. I looked up to see this lovely lady all in red, even her wheelchair was red. I quickly made a wreath out of the scarlet dogwood and she popped it on her head as halo and crown! |
The Persian Garden at the Yard Garden Patio Show hired a belly dancer to undulate and waft her veils at their entrance. She was good. Lovely, really lovely.......
I thought that was unfair competition, What could we do at the French garden booth? Pluck a goose?

A few days ago, I'd pruned the studio's apple trees and redtwig dogwoods and decided to demonstrate how to make a simple wreath using the clippings. Amid all the hubub of thousands of people walking through the show, it was very sane to share instead of trying to sell.

| This woman got the hang of wreathing very quickly. Hmmm, She's also wearing red. |
A little girl, a shy teenage boy, several mothers and grandmothers were drawn into my quiet space and learned how to make weaths for themselves. I said to each one, "Now teach someone else."
When the world is too busy, the sanest thing to do is work with nature..........

adorable~ love the woven wreaths bringing peace + connection, nature is everything.
"Pluck a goose?" Haha! I am glad you chose to share this instead. They will remember where they learned this and the story will continue to someone else! Neato!
I will post images of several finished wreaths. It's such a simple thing to do, repeat until it is an endless spiraling circle being shared.

Yes. Yes. Yes.
Sherrie, I look at at my north garden from my office window....and wonder why I'm inside typing instead of out there working. Crocus are in full glory today. Stop. Go.
