The healing journey of a widowed, unschooling badass in Delaware.
We’re opening a tattoo studio. Kristen is an amazing artist and we’re driven to build a business that showcases her talent while helping people to express themselves with unique pieces of art.
A lot of the pieces are in place. Licensing and location are nearly locked down. My living room is full of supplies and our next journey is set to launch.
I’ll be sharing the adventure here. It may not all be strictly in the #30DaysOfArtChallenge category, but it will all be in the service of art.
I’m getting very close to getting my first tattoo from By Her Hand. In my usual geeky-homeschool-dad manner, I’m hitting the books to prepare.

I’m always up to fight for home education. While “schooling” a local on the learning lifestyle, I opened my big mouth (via keyboard) and declared that I was organizing a homeschool group to go see Medea at University of Delaware.
I didn’t want to do that. I’m swamped with tectonic changes in our life and was hoping to pass this one off. I also hate passing things off and have a habit of committing in a flash.
I’m excited to work with UD again to expose children to great drama. We saw Twelfth Night before Lockdown and I’m glad the nonsensical restrictions have lifted for visitors.
Our weekly meetup club was lively. Some kids competed, some built together, others solo, and four families relished conversation and art making.
My sons were guided through the construction of two bat boxes by a fantastic teacher at Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum today.
It isn’t their first time using power tools, but they had never used a mitre saw before. They each independently worked through the project and we’re excited to entice bats into our yard.
I’m diving into a couple books that have called out to me.

We discovered these wonderful bones on a hike at Brandywine Creek State Park. The bark tray was intended as a way to carry the bones out of the woods. I love the backdrop it creates for the arrangement.
This won’t be their final display, yet it serves nicely in the meantime.
This is exciting. We just completed a few lessons on ancient Greek art in the Tom Woods course on Western Civilization. Euripides’ Medea was featured and I’ve just discovered that the Resident Ensemble Players at University of Delaware are performing it next month.
Pages Alive Theater has held a powerful place in our performing arts life for more than five years.
My sons are loving Lisa’s first Improv Class offering, while simultaneously working on a Shakespeare flash mob performance.
