1) Take Celery or Napa Cabbage (largest you can find) and slice a stalk halfway up the middle. 2) Place two clear containers close together. Add a few drops of food coloring in two different colors to the jars. 3) Add water to the jars to fill to about 1.5 inches deep. 4) Wait about 8 hours and observe the difference! Plants use little tubes to transport water from where they have it (the ground, usually) to where they need it (in their leaves, where it is "breathed out" through little pores called stomata. These tubes are called xylem - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylem. When we place the bottom of the cut stem in dyed water, the leaf continues to breathe out water through the stomata, and that acts like sucking pressure on the straw-like tubes of the xylem, so the dyed water is drawn up through the leaf. On the way, it colors the xylem tubes and you can see how they network through the leaf. Pretty! There is another set of tubes called phloem that carry sugars and other food from the leaves (where they are made from the energy of sunlight) to all other parts of the plant that need it. I made this for my K/1 class, to show the kids, and it was so pretty that we used it as a table centerpiece at home afterwards! :-)

The common name, tansy, is likely derived from Greek words meaning “immortal”, which may refer to the long-lasting flowers or its traditional use in preserving dead bodies. Habitat: Although the plant is native to temperate regions of Europe and Asia, it has been introduced throughout the world and grows wild in North America. This hardy, sun-loving plant is resistant to cold and frost and commonly grows in open areas close to water, such as roadsides and ditches. Description:

This book is meant to liberate humanity and make the world a better place not only for my son, but all future generations. My message to the world is that love is the key that unlocks us to our fullest potential. We can accept the universe as one shared existence, this way no one would miss treat another as it would be like miss treating oneself. We can unify through love and acceptance, as we learn to view the world through the eyes of non-domination. We can consider our relationships with one another, and not only with people but with minerals, plants, animals and the entire cosmos as we are all relative to each other. We can heal each other with our Toroidal energy fields/Magnanimous auras when we love. "Therefore you will know the Torus and the Torus will set you free.

In Valerie Hammond’s series of wax drawings, protection is two-fold: the artist (previously) encases dried flowers and ferns in a thin layer of wax, preserving their fragile tissues long after they’ve been plucked from the ground. In outlining a pair of hands, she also secures a memory, or rather, “the essence of a gesture and the fleeting moment in which it was made.” Centered on limbs lying flat on Japanese paper, the ongoing series dates back to the 1990s, when Hammond made the first tracing “partly in response to the death of a dear friend, whose beautiful hands I often found myself remembering.” She continued by working with family and friends, mainly women and children, to delineate their wrists, palms, and fingers.
