Preparing for OPEN

On Thursday 12.2.10, the Project Grow family pulled together to run some errands for Open. One group went to Sunlan on Mississippi Avenue in North Portland to purchase gallery appropriate bulbs. To celebrate our successful mission, we dropped by Blue Gardenia to sip on some hot chocolate and chat. Team Together!

Thanks, Stock!

Awww. Thanks, Stock and friends! We are so excited to start this project. We will start working on publishing bike and wheel chair maps to urban fruit finds, fliers, and gathering supplies. Look for invites soon!

The Weaving Studio

That piece that I did is a good piece. I worked on the loom. On the weaving machine next door. I did it with Jennifer. And Dan. And what's her name? Ilene. Weaving makes me feel good. Cause it's fun. I enjoy it. And also, I did it because it's fun to weave. Also, I make a lot of money from art and weaving. What else, let's see. I enjoy it a lot. It's fun to do stripes. Make a flag out of weaving. And. Jennifer is a nice person to be with. And that's why I like being with her because she is a sweet person to be with. So is Ilene. I like Meghan too.

The weaving studio is full of visionary artists who recklessly reinvent materials and create a world bursting with color. Check out the site! If you'd like to carry the placemats, rugs, table runners, pillows, or art in your business, get in touch with us! We'd love to share it with more of the world.

Many hours of effort

Star Wars - Part II -

...like a monster or something. They get away from the trash compactor. And then Dark Vader says, "they've stolen plans to the escape pod."
And then he says, "I want them alive!"
And then he said "Stolen plan to the escape pod"
They are going to kill the Princess.
They are not allowed to escape.
"I'll do it myself," that's what Dark Vader says. And then they went to another planet that got destroyed by the empire's star fighters. And then they, and what happened next, then they had there, oh what do you call it now, I forgot what happened here.
But then they were in a desert. And, R2D2 and C3PR said, "I'm not going this way, I'm going the other way." And they he says, "Go that way. You'll be executed." That's what C3PO said. Then they have their star fighters, they said, oh I forgot what they said on their star fighters...

Star Wars - Part I -

By Dan McClary

Star Wars is where the storm troopers kidnap Princess Leia. Their head leader is Dark Vader. And then there is no escape for the princess this time, now.
And then he says, “Hold your fire, there is no life.”
Luke says to Han Solo, “It’s dangerous, don’t go there,” and then he says, “it’s daaaaaaaaaaaangerous.”
All got killed in the place where he used to live at. And he says, “no! I have to go back.”
And then he says, “I want to be like my dad. There is nothing for me here now. I have work to do.”
“I want to come with you to Amarran,” he says.
But there is nothing there now it has been destroyed by the fire.
Then Luke and Dark Vader have a fight with their light sabers. And then they said, “they kidnapped the princess!” The guy says, “Stay here, wait here and have patience to wait ,”and then he says, “wait here.”
They are going to kill Luke, Darth Vader tries to kill him and Luke gets mad and says “Noo.” Then he says, “they let us go, we escape.”
“Not on this ship sister,!” Han solo said. He gets mad and he says, “not for my money, or something like that.”
Then princess Leia gets mad at her brother. And then they go right into the trash compactor.
And there is something down here…

To be continued.
