Spring Break is over! It went well though there were a couple of times we swore time actually stood still. Crazy. Time to restock the fridge that was raided continuously by our kids. Spring break is a preview for what to expect for the summer. Must join Sam's Club!
Toward the end of the week I started carving a couple of wands, sans the magic, for my kids. They're modeled after the wands used in the Harry Potter films by Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. The Harry Potter style wand is made from a dowel rod which was not the best choice since it's so hard to carve. Thank goodness for Dremel tools. The second was made from bass wood which is like butter! Both are still in the rough stages but should be finished by the end of the week.
Last week we also worked on some hand props for the San Antonio Metropolitan Ballet which will be used next month for their annual dance show" Kaliedoscope".
This weekend I managed to attend a workshop on getting a book published. I say managed because I was still a little shaky from my bout with the flu earlier in the week. I didn't make it to a second workshop there that day on improving one's blog. I'm sure it was pretty good. Both workshops were sponsored by the local chapter of Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators and were held at the University of the Incarnate Word.
