John O’Donohue- Words

Living Mermaid as Ocean Activist

Hannah Fraser is a professional mermaid, who is a model and an ocean activist. Her underwater work with talented cinematographers is absolutely breathtaking. It is amazing to see her dancing alongside beautiful ocean animals, and to hear the descriptions of their interactions.

Another project she is a part of is equally moving, but is shocking and emotional. Be prepared to be amazed and disturbed. You can really see her ‘activist’ side showing up in this project… In Hannah’s words, “Through connection with these magnificent beings in their own habitat, we learn to appreciate them more and inspire others to do the same.”  Thanks for the reminder.

“So writes Susanna Bauer – a German-born artist who lives in Cornwall, England – on her website. Trained as a model-maker for the advertising and film industries, Bauer has crafted giant chocolate bars and cameras, miniature pyramids for the movie 10,000 BC, and scaled-down battleships for The Patriot. Now focused on her own meticulous work, she favors the materials she encounters in the woods and on the beaches near her house. “I find myself recharging with the quiet concentration, the time, and the calmness that goes into my leaf and wood  pieces,” she says. She gives leaves, wood, and stones their due by embellishing them with weaving or crochet, in her own celebration of nature. – See more at: http://craftcouncil.org/magazine/article/nature-crocheted#sthash.q2q1h7Pl.dpuf”

shopping…for free :)

If you get a shopping craving where I’m from, you can always go outside and pick up fallen leaves, random sticks that have fallen to the ground, and dried seed pods. The colours are beautiful, and it’s free! I’m gonna offer these fallen treasures for some mask making very soon….
