a stormy october camping trip

The storm Friday night as we were driving down the coast highway was severe enough that we couldn't see very far in front of the car. Luckily, we made it to an unknown campground at night, in the rain, safe to our yurt. Fates conspired against us (four roads marked with the same name, a combination lock on our yurt that refused to reveal the magic of "opening", and camp hosts who all fell asleep before 9 p.m.). But we made it, and the storm threw a fit about it. Next morning, at the beach, clumps of 20-foot-long seaweed and other flotsam were scattered down the beach. We decided to make art.



In this next one, you can see the seaweed scattered down the beach behind me for miles . . .




I decided to try to weave it into a square-bottomed basket.


But I ended up with more of a dream-catcher-looking thing instead.



Shawn's whip, on the other hand, was very whippy! And made from a single piece of seaweed that was over 30 feet long.

The How and Why Wonder Book of Stars
The stuff I do and the way I do it, and any tools I use, suggestions I make, and tutorials on the Night Garden Design Blog are not without their risks. Sewing machine needles can puncture fingers, spray paint used without goggles can cause eye damage, yada yada yada. I poked myself in the eye with a stick the other day while weeding the yard. Everything carries risks. I recommend and encourage additional research and advise that all product manufacturer labels be followed as close to the letter as possible. Night Garden Design and I can't be held responsible for your personal safety or your project results; so take good care of yourselves, crafters!
