Official Deprecation

Since I haven't posted on this blog in well over a year I have decided to officially deprecate it. This blog documents our stay in Thailand and, oddly enough, is the #1 hit on Google for felting human hair. Therefore the blog will not be deleted, but restrictions are being tightened on comments to prevent the blog from sinking into a cesspool of spam links. If you wish to keep up with the family, especially Jami and the boys, please find your way over to  http://biciclettejami.tumblr.com/ where Jami blogs quite prolifically on crafting, Waldorf education, and other household matters. If you wish to follow my art please find it at  http://danelarsen.blogspot.com/.

Earthquake and Print Show

These past few months I've been working on a woodcut for a print exchange with kids from Booker T. Washington, a school in South Africa, and an adult printmaking group that meets at Booker T. most Tuesday nights. The goal of the project is to publish a bilingual coloring book for elementary school kids in the Qinghai region of Tibet, right where the earthquake occurred two weeks ago. Since the quake happened when school was in session a number of the casualties were the very children for whom we've been making the coloring book. There will be a show at the Crow Collection of Asian Art on May 13th from 5:30 to 7:00 exhibiting the work and raising money with the goal of getting the coloring book to those kids still surviving. Anyone in the Dallas area should try to make it out if they can.

Loy Krathong at the Park

Tonight we celebrated Loy Krathong at the park with way more people than we imagined on 24 hrs notice. Best holiday ever, though we did miss the drunks slinging bottle rockets on the banks of the Mae Ping just a little.
