WHAT I'M READING
I haven't had much time for reading this week, but I realized I forgot to post my comments on WE WERE LIARS. (and I'm going to try and do so without spoilers) I can say that I thought this book was beautifully written and the way the characters were drawn was simply exquisite. I'd heard a lot of mixed reviews about this book and although there were some plot elements I wished were different, I simply devoured the beautiful language. WHAT I'M WRITING
WHAT ELSE I'VE BEEN UP TO
- Prepping for travel. I've got back-to-back trips scheduled for the next few weeks. (What was I thinking?!) Have backpack, loaded kindle and travel size everything. I think I'll survive.
- Trying to get everything ready in time for Burning Man. My Etsy shop has simply exploded with Burning Man orders, but hey I get to make crazy things with antlers and fiber optic lights and feathers. (I'm in my happy place.)
WHAT INSPIRES ME RIGHT NOW
I want to make a Magic Forest for kids. ("You know, for kids!") One of the local park supervisors gave me blanket carte blanche permission to do anything I want, provided I don't burn the place down. So, in all my free time (chuckle), I'm dreaming and scheming a magical forest that will come alive at night for people (big & small) to walk through and be amazed. Who wants to fly down here and help me?
So far on the agenda we have:
- Lighted fairy village with flying fairies
- Will-o-wisps
- White stag hologram
- Pressure-activated glowing stepping stones
- Trees that play music
- Fireflies
- Glowing mushroom garden

| Fireflies Long Exposure- I found out you can order bulk native fireflies. Yay! |

Wow - sounds like you're going to be busy, busy, busy - how fun! I'm going to go search out your Burning Man. Sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteAs to the forest thing - so cool! The kids and I loved to visit those type of things in Europe. There, it usually meant 1-2 little 'dwarf' houses, a magical water spot (usually with a water pump or run or something), hidden gems (colorful crystals in a tiny cave or knot in a tree), fantastical carved faces or creatures in a peice of wood (or tree) and sometimes musical things like wooden xylophones or types of drums...oh, and some simple mechanism for sending msgs to each other. And there was often a bridge, rope swings...things where the kids had to get across. I could probably go on forever ;)
You captured my feelings for We Were Liars exactly. Beautiful, beautiful writing.
