I found a birthday gift on my porch yesterday from an artist friend. Beautiful hand-painted blue and white blocks nestled in a hand-painted box. A note said that they were,
Sky Blocks, a cosmology
108 sides

for meditation
for peace
for love
I thanked her in my heart and admired them stacked up in their box but wasn't really sure what to do with them.
Thank goodness for five year olds who have no such hesitations! As soon as she got home from school, she oohed and ahed over them then started stacking them, moving them, playing with them. And as she did, I did to.
Thank you, Meg! And thank you, Maia!
What a wonderful set of blocks!
Those are gorgeous!! Love them!
They are beautiful. What are they painted with?
Beautiful!!!
What a lovely friend! It’s so special to receive home made gifts.
They are really lovely!
They are gorgeous!! We recently made art dice — your pretty birthday dice would be fun to play with in a similar way. http://tinkerlab.com/2011/03/art-dice/
Simply gorgeous!!! And from my home to yours- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
they do make me feel peaceful – the color blue captures a sereneness.
Beautiful! Blue and white is my favorite color combination:)
Those are cool. What a sweet surprise to find on your porch! And a lovely gift idea no less! This one will go in my brain trunk to be used later…
