When my life turns counterclockwise
I forget the calendar date
and write my four lines one day late
and for that I apologize.

Sometimes I kneel in compromise
inclined to recline with my fate
but other times I just can’t wait
to turn my life counterclockwise.

When jabbed by dark cold hell I feel
my heart dance wild jigs with my gut
and I work to stay upright but
sometimes I compromise and kneel.

The prod that makes all things move well
is sharp and dull and hard and soft
which are too different you scoff
but being jabbed feels like cold hell.

Like to like is worth naught to prove
for we all know that different
is more than an accomplishment
it’s the prod that makes all things move.

Crafty Challenge Six: Copper Discs

Spring is here and around Indiana, it is running full steam already. In celebration, we are gearing up for our sixth Crafty Challenge. This round is all about copper.

In another bid to help clean out the garage, Loryn found some really nifty copper discs hiding in a box. (This was how our Wooden Spool Challenge started.) These are cut-outs from sheet metal and their origin is unknown. (Really, where does half the stuff in garages come from? It is like the inverse of the dryer phenomenon.)

Photo of 4 stacks of copper discs. — Four roughly even stacks for the four Crafty Sisters!

We each got our own stack (we didn’t actually count them out this time, there were too many) and you could just see all our brains buzzing already.

I thought it was really funny after we divided them up, we all took a stack and then remembered that we would need a photo for the blog. We all placed our stack just so and made sure to pick up the same one we set down. We certainly get proprietary over our craft materials don’t we?

One pile of copper discs fanned out. — This is actually Lynne's pile of copper discs. The rest of us snapped ours up pretty quickly.

So, we now have two weeks (well, at this point 12 days) to come up with a craft that makes use of these bendy little circles.

Stay tuned for the final results on April 8th! I can’t wait to see what we all come up with!

Happy crafting!
