Murdoch Mysteries is community theatre to me

#redresses sets over and over again (archway my beloved).... uses actors in as many as four different roles over the course of the show.... #a small handful of very talented actors surrounded by extras doing half-assed accents and over-the-top reactions.... #corynn.txt #murdoch mysteries

Dancing in vintage National Geographics

physical collage (full image under the cut)

#decided to break in two bc I know the landscape orientation ends up quite small on mobile #this way you can get a close up look easier :) #also I have more than enough clipping to do a second dancing collage but I think I’m gonna do commensality next #nat geo collages #people dancing #corynn.txt

Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new. - Ursula K. Le Guin

I did a craft fair!!!!!

I sold 10 earrings, 4 cards, and 1 collage! My favourite sale was to an older guy; he bought the 3-tiered heart earrings as a present for his daughter's girlfriend 😭. I sold one of each pair that I did a duplicate design of, so I was right about what would be popular, plus Gonzo, the radishes, the lobster and BOTH pairs of the salmon. If I had made the connection between who would be interested in sockeye salmon earrings and the fact that the fair was held in the Indigenous students' centre I would have made more and I think they would have sold!

The burning house collage went to someone whose son works fighting wildfires and the rest rest of them were just great conversation pieces that led to some really nice chats. I've learned that there is a market for clip-on earrings so I'm going to look into that! I had four or five people who loved the designs but didn't have their ears pierced so that's definitely something to think about. Anyway it was so much fun and I think there's going to be another one in a couple of months so I'll do it again!

#if I can figure out an efficient and safe way to mail the earrings I might share my instagram here even though it would narrow down #my location more than what I've shared up until now but for now it's just for local orders that I can do a central pick-up spot for #I had to re-download the app to set up the account lol #corynn.txt

I spent my morning showing rotating groups of grade 3's and 4's how to apply fractions to real life by getting them to halve a given recipe for sour cream and onion dip, rewrite the new measurements, and then MAKE IT!!!! and they have a herb garden in their class so they harvested fresh dill and carefully chopped it with a little paring knife and they had so much fun :)))

#most of the calculations were easy but then we had to do half of an 1/8 tsp of salt and that took some diagram-drawing #to show that a smaller denominator actually means a bigger fraction so if 1/4 is *twice* as much as 1/8 then half of 1/8 would be... #this ended up being a moot point though bc we didn't have a 1/16 tsp obv so they just eyeballed it anyway lol #but SO much fun and some of them were talking about being excited to do home ec one day waaaaa #corynn.txt
