Children’s Craft Village is a dream of mine, held for many years now. It is a place where children from all over the world can come to learn the mysteries of crafting and building, and it currently resides at Prosperity Virtual Ashram, where we have crafting and building classes every weekend.
I firmly believe that virtual crafting is the key to future learning, and kids need to learn the virtual craft skills now, while they’re young and able to accept the high learning curve that comes with the skill package. Click the “continue reading” button to continue reading…
The various planetary cultures and countries around the world are slowly and painfully but inexorably developing into a global village with thinner and thinner boundaries between them.
The only real highway of information and trade between the peoples of the world is the internet and other forms of virtual reality that are springing up as quickly as people all over the planet acquire the new smartphone and pad technology.
A Virtual World requires virtual builders, and we are preparing them now. Soon you will see virtual villages springing up everywhere. In less than a year, you’ll be able to enter a virtual world instantly without a visible download of the engine, although that will occur behind the scenes without your awareness of the process. It is an almost instantaneous download, therefore invisible to the unknowing eye.
In this new virtual world, builders will rule. The most important element of virtual building is that it automatically applies to any other discipline, whether in language, physics, math, science or history. Virtual Crafting is highly adaptable to any other discipline and skills built within its aegis are very synergistic — mutually beneficial.
Educators will soon appreciate the connection between crafting/building and learning, and the Children’s Craft Village is in the forefront of that Brave New World of virtual reality!
Join the crowd! Come to Children’s Craft Village today! You need to register and all kids must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian; parents are required to participate in the kids’ learning experience, so be prepared for some serious fun!
Children’s Craft Village will also be offering brick-and-mortar classes in scrapbooking, greeting cards, ornaments, copper jewelry, leather working and other fun crafts, at our Friday morning art class, currently held at Ben Franklin’s Craft Shop, to make it easy for folks to shop for items needed for class.
To be clear about this — Children’s Craft Village has no connection with Ben Franklin other than the rental of the art class space. You can find Children’s Craft Village on the Ashram in Second Life, and the website here: — Children’s Craft Village Website —
Think a moment about this:
Every year we hear more and more horror stories about things happening due to trick-or-treating. We see and hear more and more public shootings, bombings and automobile smashings. We are presented every day with an increasingly higher scale of public violence committed against innocent bystanders.
You will see a growing dependence on virtual world alternatives, including Halloween Trick or Treat Parties, where the treats and gifts are crafted items made by our folks. Halloween costumes can be amazingly amazing, and the kids can come as absolutely anything from Frankenstein’s Monster to Manga Faerie Queen, because not just the costume is crafted, but the whole body, face, makeup and hairstyle!
If your son or daughter would like to be a fashion designer, why bother to design in textiles, when you can create an outfit in worldwide-available 3D graphics and have the entire runway show performed by friends in the Ashram!
You can film this, and make the actual costumes available by mail-order with paypal or 2nd life money transfers. Did you know there’s actual money to be made by selling virtual stuff?
My grandfather and grandmother didn’t understand how my father, Horace, could make a living “making little black marks on a piece of paper” — meaning as an author.
My father, in his turn, had trouble understanding how I could make something in cyberspace that someone else would be willing to buy, and how could I transfer the item over to that other person, anyway???
You can buy, sell and trade real estate online, in the form of websites — I have 650 incredible websites for sale, even as we speak, and in the form of game space, such as regions in Second Life, and in the form of …. well, why don’t you come to one of my workshops to find out more about that stuff? It’s easier than trying to anticipate the questions you might be inclined to ask.
There’s more mystery and amazement and astonishing discoveries to discover in the virtual world of Quantum Reality, and I’m here to introduce you to them.
I’m producing a number of “kid’s art series” greeting cards that you can sell on behalf of the Children’s Craft Village and the Ashram Project. People would much rather give a donation for a good cause, and receive a card as a “thank you” gift, than buy a card from a private party for unknown reasons for personal profit!
You and I know that you’re not in it for the money, but they don’t have any way of knowing your higher motivation, so you need to make it clear, very clear, and Ashrams need explaining — a Children’s Craft Village usually does not, at least not to sell a greeting card.
Stay tuned for more developments, and be ready to delve more deeply into the magical realm of paper arts, crafting skills in second life, invoking and communicating with interdimensional beings, and more; all about this stuff you’ll see and hear at this morning’s 6:30 ICW (Interdimensional Communications Workshop). I’ll be showing a Gryphon’s Cage and a Kobold’s Habitat today, if I manage to finish them by breakfast.
See You At The Top!!!
