Do you remember making friendship bracelets? I was thinking about it this morning. I always thought it was so very cool that with just a few threads, a safety pin, and a blue-jeaned knee, a beautiful bracelet could be born. It seemed like a miracle. Simple things often do, to me.
My friends and I used to carry our safety pins, knotted with our bracelets-in-progress to school. During recess, we'd get to work knotting and braiding the colorful bands together. It was really great to have a craft that was my own... not related to art class or instruction, or school but something I could work on during *my* time. I remember looking forward to it... just wanting to get out of class and work on MY project. I suppose my making/creating life is not that different from that today.
Anyway, I like thinking about it.
