We had two art pod meetings in July

On Tuesday July 3 at 6-8 pm we met at the COA Garden on 180 Marine Street. It started raining so we moved to a members' beach house. Discussed were an event to be held in March celebrating the Native American name for ther Matanzas River: "River of Dancing Dolphins". We would liker to have a multi-media event in early March 08 to bcelebrate this name which honors the naturer of tghe river. Next step is call to Artists and looking for location. Feedback welcome.
Knowledge of natural tools and Florida Foraging are of interest to Art Pod members, too.

On Monday, 10-12 noon we met and explored constructing pens from bamboo branches, and using pokeberry juice with key lime juice as the ink. It worked! We took turns writing in beautiful purple ink!
We also constructed pine-needle brooms with needles, stick and cord made from palmetto. Other crafty items were discussed for fundraising. Mistletoe bunches for Christmas, May baskets for Earth Day, Pine-needle baskets for anytime.

Meanwhile, a discussion with a sous-chef on Friday night yeilded ideas for art pod and food pod to collaborate..."Food As Design"......
