I have been mulling over ideas for working with kids on the edge for a few years now, and trying to connect with people locally who want to do the same. Its inspiring to see what you are doing.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14171996698927828247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-18805759335233834752010-04-01T17:42:37.830-07:002010-04-01T17:42:37.830-07:00Tracey, Hey this looks like an amazing project.

I've added your blog to mine.. :-)<br /><br />If you would like to make a drum just ask away! I've been making Udu drums and doumbeks for a while so maybe i can help. (Udu drums are only clay, doumbeks have a skinhead)<br />If you want a good book about musical instruments made of clay (even a saxophone or a guitar!) you should get a copy of " From mud to music" by Barry Hall. It's sort of my bible.... hehe<br />Read and be amazed!!! it also has a cd with music-samples of a lot of the instruments in the book.Moniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01631837654496187275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-24123514321389686262010-03-30T17:40:47.510-07:002010-03-30T17:40:47.510-07:00The houses are great.

It's awfully hard to change the direction of kids like that after their parents have spent years creating them.Hollis Engleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550281579804944085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-47111332365878599092010-03-30T08:21:06.012-07:002010-03-30T08:21:06.012-07:00wow. so sad to hear about young lives so goofed up...wow. so sad to hear about young lives so goofed up. What a cool project though! Great theme too -I hope art was able to ignite at least a flicker of hope for those young people... it can be very difficult to "re-set" a young person's compass if all they've know is disfunction. Unfortunately there are so many young people whose parents have substance abuse issues that they have no ability or desire to "raise" them -even at the lowest standards...cindy shakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01353820195984269329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-54922741082093287242010-03-30T08:07:32.989-07:002010-03-30T08:07:32.989-07:00Hi Tracey...yes, tough for 'those kids'..I...Hi Tracey...yes, tough for 'those kids'..I am sure you sparked a little light in each of them which will have great potential to grow.<br />have a good day.

The...Hi Tracy, <br />I couldn't agree with you more!<br />The system in The Netherlands seems to work the same way, punish the kids until the're so pissed of and feel so rejected and bad about themselfs that they feel like there's no other way then to go 'against the rules' again and again.<br />Let's teach these kids self-empowerment and give them the tools to create a better future for themselfs if their parents cannot do that for them, instead of putting them down every time the do something 'wrong' in the eyes of society. <br />As an art therapist I LOVE what you did with them!!!<br />Those kids were lucky to have spent an afternoon with you.<br /><br />Greetz, <br /><br />MoniqueMoniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01631837654496187275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-53460642115001950772010-03-29T17:08:41.622-07:002010-03-29T17:08:41.622-07:00Hi Tracy, It sounds like you're involved in so...Hi Tracy, It sounds like you're involved in some pretty cool stuff.DirtKicker Potteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17602931467150962399noreply@blogger.com
