Read: Grass by Joyce Sidman
I grow in places others can’t,
where wind is high and water scant.
I drink the rain, I eat the sun;
before the prairie winds I run.
I see, I sprout, I grow, I creep,
and in the ice and snow, I sleep.
On steppe or veld or pampas dry,
beneath the grand, enormous sky,
I make my humble, bladed bed.
And where there’s level ground, I spread.

Fruit stamping on tea towels
You will need: • blank tea towels • acrylic paint and fabric medium OR fabric paint • black fine tip permanent or fabric marker • paper towels • wax or parchment paper • fruit • Paper plate
What to do: • Cut your fruit in half and then cut one of the halves again. Dab the cut sides on some paper towel to get rid of some of the excess juice. • Put a piece of wax or parchment paper in the middle of your tea towel to keep the paint from leaking through. • Follow the instructions on your bottle of fabric medium and mix it with your acrylic paint on a paper plate. • Dip your fruit into the paint. Dab it around a bit on the plate to get off some of the excess paint. • Press the fruit onto the tea towel, just like a regular stamp. Be careful when you are using juicy fruit like the lemon and orange. You want to press firm enough to get an impression, but not so hard that juice starts squishing out the sides. • Repeat with the other piece of the fruit to make one that looks like a slice. • Allow the paint to dry completely and outline with a permanent or fabric marker. Write what the fruit is at the bottom for an extra touch. • Once all of your fruit stamps are dry, be sure to heat set it. Do this by placing a cloth over the design and ironing it on a high setting (no steam). Do it for about 30 seconds or put it in your drier for 30 minutes.
