Han Made: I was featured in one of [the] Revolution’s local artist showcases earlier this year. I played my nylon string guitar and did a short set of some original works. I also got to play this summer at Bernie’s house for her “Yard-Sellabration” – a neighborhood get-together of friends who make things and gather together to show each other what we can offer the world. I busted out with my kazoo and had everyone who was watching and listening use theirs to make a funny-sounding kazoo chorus to a song she wrote. Much fun!

Earlier this year, I was provided with the opportunity to get a ½ size Cello. It’s perfect, because it’s about the same size as my guitar, so it’s easy to manage. I have not been taking lessons, only looking up videos on the Internet on the technical things, like holding the bow, etc. Since this season has been so busy, it has been hard to make time to practice; this has been frustrating because I would love to develop my skills as a musician, but in order to do so, I need practice. I am very thankful for this busy season in my life, but I’m looking forward to being able to sacrifice more time toward my music and art/craft making in the future.

I have has also been taking to my sewing machine and making a few things; reusable hand-warmers, blankets, pillowcases, and patching up old jeans, among them. I have also fell in love with making fashionable head bands and combs to put in my hair. They have been so much fun to make and I would love to sell them. My favorites are made with lace, feathers, and silk flowers. If you would be interested in acquiring one of these goodies the let me know, because that means I get to make moreJ
