Paper Mache Bowl Progress

We are really getting the paper mache bowls piled up now at the Lions Club where we are preparing for Fair Share's Empty Bowl fundraiser. I was so happy when I cleaned Moira's room and found my old mythology coloring book that she had hijacked and over colored. What a perfect use for it! Cyclops and Medusa paper mache bowls are shown above. Below is my "Grow Your Own" bowl that I made with left over flyers from our last event. It looks really cool on the outside. I kind of wish I would have put the grow your own pages on the inside. I decided what I will do with it is paint the interior with "Fair Share Feeds My Family."

It has been great to have some time to just sit and make things. Here is Bernadette taking a turn with Tessa. Bernadette is my 5 star, #1, A+++ Nanny super extra. Bernadette helped me while I was showing at the Peabody last month and will help me next month when I start teaching again at the Herb Farm in Saint Augustine. That reminds me! I have room to spare in my Herbs for Cold and Flu Season Class on October 16th at Maggies Herb Farm. This is easy to remember, because it is the same day as the Fair Share Empty Bowls Fundraiser. I'll talk to Joel about the time. Hopefully we can start the dinner around 6 pm so I can make it to both! More details to follow!

Daddy has been helping out with Tessa too and has started providing entertainment at the club during paper mache. Here he is queuing up some MC Hawking or Symphony of Science. See everyone can participate at Fair Share! (Daddy just doesn't do paper mache after that bad incident with his fraternity's prize-winning 40-foot flaming paper mache Dragon).


Come out and join us again this Thursday for more Paper Mache Bowl making if you can. I'm going to break out the paint.

Paper Mache Bowl Making in Daytona for World Food Day Fundraiser

The Fair Share Garden will be hosting a fundraiser for World Food Day in October. We are raising funds for our garden where we demonstrate how organic and sustainable growing methods and share the harvest.

Every Thursday at at 5pm we are gathering to make paper mache bowls at the Lions Club in Daytona Beach (345 White St) for our World Food Day event on October 16th when we are hosting our 'Empty Bowls' event.

About Empty Bowls from Wikipedia: “Empty Bowls” is an international project to fight hunger, personalized by artists and art organizations on a community level. “Empty Bowls” allows participating artists and groups to create and donate bowls, then serve a simple meal. Guests choose a bowl to use that day and to keep as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world



Bring a bowl for a mold and newspapers or phone books etc. Bring a snack to share if you want to! Kids welcome with parents. No previous experience is necessary. You can RSVP on our Fair Share meetup calender.

Feel Free to Get creative with us too. Do you know a techinque that we don't know and want to share? Come teach us! Look at the amazing bowls you can make with recycled paper. I would love to learn. This bowl was make by SewDanish from my Unique Women in Business network.
