Other Random stuff:
-I have a mini farm (kinda) and sell fresh chicken eggs, I helps plants grow, and hope/plan to sell some produce next summer.
-I volunteer out at Fort Stanton during events, and am a living historian; I have full period correct clothing and dress up at least once a month for garrison activities.
-I love costumery, I love cosplay and
anything steampunk, Renaissance, etc. I occasionally do small
sewing projects(learning how to make costume accessories and
alterations), and would love to host masquerades or cosplay events
in the area in the future. Just need a venue, time, and interested
participants! Also open to collaborations with anyone interested to help
make this happen. I'm also somewhat interested in theater and have been
an extra for a couple filming projects for some friends and took drama
for a year in high school.
-I set up Lincoln County Freecycle on facebook; intended to be a group where locals can exchange goods for free; One man's trash is another's treasure! I promote barter and trade! In the future, I would love to turn this concept into something more hands on; to have a local building to meet in and have free exchange, like a swap meet or thrift store but free, perhaps coupled with some of my other ideas. Some kinks in the concept, but I think they could be sorted out.
-I am a HUGE believer in up-cycling or recycling
junk/trash into useful items or art, and this is a big part of what I
do. almost all of my art has been craft supplies or old jewelry, old
paint, you name it, handed down to me by people who didn't want it. I
also love to scavenge at thrift stores and the like, before resorting to
buying anything new. In a world where we throw too much away and take
it for granted, recycling as much as we can is something I feel is VERY
important.
-I would like to start a Time Bank community someday, if enough people are interested. *insert time bank explanation link here*
-Related to the freecycle concept, I would love to hold freeskilling events; where people can get together and
teach each other their skills for free.
I love these concepts so,
and wish to see/help them sprout up in my home community and everywhere!
In such a jacked up and chaotic time for our humanity/society locally
and globally, I firmly believe in the power of the people to unite and
help each other out! I think many answers lie within closer knit
communities, etc.
-I am knowledgeable in many areas from the arts, to history, to paranormal, and much more; I have thought about assembling classes or talks on some of these different subjects if enough people are interested, and holding them based on donations.
-I would love to host local paranormal tours.
-Once a tad more proficient in fire dancing and
akin performing arts, I would like to host carnival like events on
occasion, with friends on other interested community members.
