Sights of Summer 2019

DWe’re getting to the end of the Summer.  In the olden days (before I got married)  I would camp with friends at the Philadelphia Folk Festival  I usually volunteered so I could get in for free and always ended up on a work detail that involved patrolling the campgrounds all night.

Beadfest Philadelphia  is a good way to mark the end of Summer these days.  I have never taken a class there, but this year I am taking one with Susan Lenart Kazmer.  I took a class with her some time ago and  it was a wonderful experience.    It will be interesting to see what I can do given that I have been having major hand problems and am scheduled for surgery.  But I didn’t want to cancel the class.  Worse come to worse, I’ll watch.

Here are some late late summer pictures from my recent wanderings in  Seaview at the Jersey Shore.

Boardwalk food is about all that’s bad for you.  That’s what makes it so good.

And last but not least a great polymer video from Fiona Abel-Smith that not only covers construction of kaleidoscope canes, but does it using six different clays.  Check it out.
