Important Buddhist Thought and Great book for summer crafters
Tuesday, July 6th, 2010
“If you’re not a Buddhist you think there are Buddhists and non-Buddhists,
but if you’re a Buddhist you realize everybody’s a Buddhist — even the bugs.”
Shunryu Suzuki
Our family has a Zen Calendar purchased because… well… it had nice graphics and it was on sale at Borders. Now, every morning as we sit down at the table and enjoy breakfast, we are each happy Buddhas.
Now, while you are appreciating the bugs, the birds, the growing grass, and the weird guy in the car next to you, my little buddhas, check out this cool book! The Crafters Devotional, 365 days of Tips, Tricks and Techniques for Unlocking Your Creative Spirit, by Barbara R. Call (with the able assistance of 365 or so crafters full of great ideas!)
On page 107 for a Tuesday on day 121, you will find my scrappy color wheel. This is a really great project for getting rid of your stash in a delightful way or playing with your pallet to discover a new color combo! Try it and shoot me a pix!
Also, on page 113 is my Petroglyphs art from the EarthSky Man class. I love petroglyphs – symbolic juice! Check them out.
Have an interesting day!
