How Do You Feel About Nature?

Next time you are out in nature,

stop and think.

What are the animals around you doing?

How are you affecting their lives?

How has art impacted on your life?

Next time you see a piece of art,

even if you hate it, or are confused by it,

Stop and think.

WHO made this?

and

WHAT was or is their inspiration?

And the next time you do art, 

WHAT inspires YOU?

WHY are YOU doing art?

HOW has art impacted on your life? 

and always keep in mind that:

What makes you happy? I know what makes me happy, making other people feel happy. Did you know it is actually HEALTHY to be happy? What have you ever done to make someone else happy?

Here are some ways to make your friends and family happy!

How to (easily) knit fingerless gloves

What you need:

• A rather big ball of yarn
• knitting needles
• Ability to knit

What to do:

Knit a square. If you are making gloves for a toddler try a 10-10 square, pre-teen: 20-20, and if you are doing an adult or teen, try 35-35. When you are finished, hand sew the side of the square with a tapestry needle. Remember to sew so there is a hole for your thumb. I am sorry I could not be more specific, I will post an instructional video as soon as I can!:)
