The reception started out with creative time to decoupage "reliquaries" for the seeds we had brought. This also turned into great networking time--creating, chatting and drinking wine. The reliquaries are old cans which have half of one side folded back. Using modge podge and the wide variety of materials, they are decorated into beautiful cans for seeds. This is part of a larger public art project which will be ongoing for the next year.
Next we were fortunate to hear the Full Circle Drummers (Native American group from the Circle of Nations school) play and sing.The circle included a woman singer and a very engaging one year-old boy who participated by exploring the drum sticks and clinging to daddy's knee during the singing. A great example of participation and inclusion of kids from a very young age.
Jan, the director of the ND Council on the Arts, gave us a lovely welcome.
Dinner included a very interesting carmel dessert which had overhardened and resulted in hilarious creativity as everyone tried to taste it! Some problem-solving included: submerging in hot coffee, abandonment, hammering with a knife, and attempting to break it with teeth!
