Recalling the Friday trips to the laundromat with my mother and brother I created a tiny laundromat; reminiscent of the smell of clean laundry and the warmth I felt when my mom gave in and handed me a few pieces from the dryer to put into the bag to take home.

My avatar is an island princess; she is wild nature and enjoys playing rambunctious games. She is almost always outside, playing with the island children, stuffing her face with fruits and food, climbing trees and other activities her parents would prefer she not do since she is a princess. Her personality makes her endearing, and she is well liked by her people

In response to Song 2: Lord Amid the Clouds, which is written in the girls point of view. I took a spin on it with my response poem, and wrote in the Lords point of view. In my poem he talks about his Lady, who is a princess who doesn't always act like one but he loves her all the same and would protect her with his own life. Accompanying this poem is a hairpiece given from the Lord to his Lady, crafted mostly from metal pieces and with a stone secured with wire.

A ritual alter for sleep, inspired by Native American Vision quests. Fashioned like a mobile of sorts: including small pillars adorned with small beads and jewels. The butterflies on the chain and other gold elements are representative of finding new beginnings and/or new value in your life. Similar to vision quests where young people are meant to find their purposes in life.

Inspired by the way animals hibernate, as the weather gets colder I am reminded of the blanket forts is used to build with my brother when we were younger. Therefore, my sanctuary is a blanket den. With warm, fuzzy, and plush things in the den its the perfect place to relax, and fall asleep while doing a bit of sketching.

Moving my blanket den to my living room, I still kept the origional reference in mind. It was harder to construct than before, when youre a small child a blanket fort seems bigger than it is.
