I was accepted into the Marionette strand of the Eugene O'Neill National Puppetry Conference! If I raise the tuition by Friday I'll be building wooden marionettes with Jim Rose, a master puppeteer who greatly influenced my grandfather. It's my first time stepping into the string world. The fundraiser is here http://www.gofundme.com/golinda2015 which is also helping to start the Puppet Wagon. More on that in the next post.
The thank you gifts are some of my most requested art this year, and a few divination-themed surprises.
