Late last night, when I couldn't wait any longer, I got out the
acrylic paints, did a very light wash in them, and hand-colored one
of the Akua prints. Funny thing, the part I painted didn't smear at
all (yeah!), but part of the black outline smeared when I
accidentally dripped a tiny bit of water on it. Interesting.

More experimentation is needed, obviously, but so far, I'm cautiously
optimistic about these.

Subject: Guardian
Posted by: Linda Beeman


In the north - around the Great Lakes and especially Canada - the "inuksuk" is appearing more often along trails, highways and lakeshores. The man-made stone cains were, and still are, used by the peoples of the Artic for navigation or to mark hunting grounds or a food cache. They have been used in one form or another all over the world since ancient times. I suspect that the modern ones are built more for fun than as a survival tool.
This cairn was found along the shore of Big Bay de Noc. A storm was threatening and it seemed to me to be a Guardian from the storm.
