i woke up the other morning and started thinking about birds!
what had my attention is this really wonderful crowd funding effort that is going on to finance the next year of Free Columbia, http://www.freecolumbia.org, an amazing school that is not only teaching rad stuff (essentials like making art, studying anthroposophy and engaging in the social sphere) but doing it in a new way..
well they started this series of art assignments to go along with their crowd funding drive, showing off amazing birds from all over the place in so many version of beautiful!
but somehow i missed the beginning of this drive and always felt behind and a little lost .. do i have to make a bird to raise money? Actually you can donate without making a bird ( https://dana.io/free-columbia) plus there is the life long struggle of doing what i am told! so needless to say i kept noticing that i wasn’t playing along, despite my deep support and appreciation for this program. i sat there thinking about my own failings, while sitting and papermaching!
oh coincidentally i was papermaching birds!
.. lots of birds!
and i look up and let my gaze travel around the circumference of my little room.. from where i was sitting i could see six pieces where ‘bird’ is the central image! and lots of fake little birds all over the place...
then i looked down at my newest tattoo (https://www.facebook.com/rachel.j.miller.1/videos/vb.592126190/10152465856896191/?type=3&theater)... a second bird
and i realized that yes, i am a little obsessed with birds ! as i am with freedom, love and transformation.
wether you make some birds to highlight their cause (the drive has about 3 more days left)!
