@artbythemetismamaАй бұрын
@@simonesmit6708 thanks. 😊I suppose someone could use them that way but as an Indigenous artist, Christmas is not part of our traditional teachings. That's more of a Christian thing. Their actually meant as a way to remind people of some our tradtional teachings. These ones here is Grandmother Deer which carries the teachings of self care, gentleness, spiritual authority, faith and trusting the journey of life.

These kits are awesome! It was interesting hearing about the Métis and their beginnings. I’ve heard about the horrors of residential schools, and am heart broken by it. I hate that my colonial ancestors stole land and tried to destroy the cultures of Indigenous peoples. I think Indigenous culture, history, and arts should be taught in school to all children on this land.
@artbythemetismamaАй бұрын
@@SashaFitzgerald awe thanks Sasha. 😊 ♥️ Yes residential school was horrific but you know, it was the colonial system but I couldn't agree more, education is key. Much of the truth has not been told but it is coming out more and more and that's a good thing. Through forgiveness we can change things for the better and heal. 🙏

I don't know why your grand son is a handful, however, one thing I learned with my son was that certain preservatives in bread could make kids more on edge or more angry or more hyperactive. I tested the theory buy buying bread that said 'no added preservatives' and it really did help my son to be less frustrated and argumentative. He is a good and quite well balanced person now days but still buys bread with 'no added preservatives'. I don't know what else makes a difference except the obvious things but was always grateful for that advice from who ever told me it.

Is the jumbo paperclip necessary? Besides the wooden face, is the rest of her made from paper? I want to create her right now!

Hi! I plan on making a video on how to make them. I learned how to make altered Paperclips from a variety of differnt people on KZbin but don't remember who they are. I then used my own imagination to make my own style. To answer your question if the Jumbo Paperclip is necessary, I guess that's a matter of perspective and no its not necessary but I enjoy making them. Thanks for your comment. Maybe today I will make a how to video. Glad you feel inspired. ☺️❤️
