Kenzie and her Statement Without Words

Mackenzie's purse was a skirt, adored with a buckle from Becky's belt. And her top blended parts of a turtleneck sweater (mine!) with a scrap of fabric from a stash at home that she'd almost given up on.


















I am


Kenzie Boyers

I am laughter, the echoing sound of happiness. I am a
schoolgirl, staring out the window during math class. I am
not the rain beating on your window at night. I am
a wave, crashing down on the sand of an unknown beach.
I am the sweet and sometimes sour tang of a pineapple.
I am a designer, with the power to make a statement
without words.

Hannah and Her Spider Web top

Hannah found the grommets on the first day and persevered through their technical challenges to create something these grommets never dreamed of.























I am


Hannah

I am the rain on your window pane
I am the black lace that shades out the day
I am the dark shadow of the night
I am the thing that goes bump in the night
I am the soft snow that blankets the earth
I am the trees that rush
I am so much more than I can say
from the black of the night to the light of the day
I live in the shadows of enemies past
I am the light that’s come at last
I am from grey clouds that warm up rain
I come from the spider’s web

Maggie and Her Patchy Skirt

Maggie started out with a leopard fur hat and a rayon shirt. She knew she wanted some sort of skirt. That skirt kept evolving over the week -- and finally ended up on her friend!


















I am Maggie

I am the ocean
I am sunny, but cool
I am water
I am a pine
I am cotton
I am a mountain
I am sparkles
I am peach
I am cucumber
I am ice cream
I am games
I am me
