Arts & Crafts [Period 1, 5-18]

[screwyoumarvel]

Steve was ready and waiting for the students when they arrived for the workshop. "Okay, so, this is Arts & Crafts, it's summer camp, it's traditional, so today we're going to do one of those crafts that's traditional at summer camps even in places other than Fandom, since gremlins in jars are pretty much Fandom-specific. I hope none of you have had any unfortunate encounters with the actual gremlins since last week, and likewise claim no responsibility for last week's rain of glitter. That being said, let's move right along to dreamcatchers. The idea behind dreamcatchers is that if you hang them over your bed, the webbing will catch nightmares but let good dreams through. I'm not sure if they work, but it's a nice idea, and I'm sure some of us could do with a few less nightmares." God knew he could. "So, the instructions are on your tables, along with the materials. We have several different colors of lacing, beads, and feathers. Have fun with it."

For all her fighting and playing with sword, Éowyn still had an inner girl who liked to come out sometimes. Apparently, stringing beads together created that effect, and she quickly lost herself in finding beads that went together and made nice patterns.

"Oh, that's very pretty," Jennifer said to the other girl as she started to work on her own dreamcatcher.

"Thank you," Éowyn said with a smile. "I'm not quite sure what it will look like when it's finished, but I suppose that's half the enjoyment."

"Exactly," Jennifer said, going through some of the feathers. "Besides, I'm sure no matter what they'll end up pretty. Hard not to, with all these materials."

"It does seem as though it's a difficult task at which to fail," Éowyn said. "Which is the perfect kind of task for a class."

"Especially a fun summer class," Jennifer said. "I'm Jennifer, by the way."

"Oh, that's a very pretty name," Jennifer said. "Where are you from?"
