flood waters~

my buddy crico of the recycled art gallery weasel and fitz...

he wanted rolled bottle cap jewelry for balloon fiesta.



then disaster hit his tiny community. roads were washed away, all of the businesses and most of the homes in this area were flooded. my friend hilary and some of her buddies were washed down stream; in their truck! sad and scary times in the desert as we cannot handle a deluge of water. our ground is too dry to suck it up. it's been challenging. even one of my school communities, Sile, NM is without access. people are still stranded. contact me to help my students.

wanna help madrid, nm? donations are being taken here.

    1. the gallery has reopened and people are coming back into town. one road is still a 15 foot culvert, but hopefully will be repaired soon enough. xoxo
