I live in what is now being referred to as an “island town.” We were hit pretty hard by Irene, making it difficult to get in or out of our town. It’s not a good sign when the governor, the National Guard, FEMA and the Red Cross are checking out your neighborhood in a helicopter.
For the last 10 days, I’ve been at working at the relief shelter. If it’s of interest, you can read more about it at www.cavendishvt.blogspot.com While I wanted to set up an arts table, I was being pulled in many different directions and didn’t have a chance to do so. However, a local art therapist did just that. It made a big difference to everyone when she took the many empty water bottles lying around and gave a workshop on what you could make with them.
She cut the bottom of a bottle and then made cuts so that it folded back like a flower. With a bit of paint and glitter, it looked like an exotic piece of beautiful art. You can also make a bracelet by cutting out the center section of the bottle, and then gluing tissue paper
