Today’s Daily Prompt states:
Tell us about the most surprising helping hand you’ve ever received.
Photographers, show us HANDS.
Hands? Do I ever have an assortment of images of hands!
Enjoy!
Many volunteers contributed to CEIBO LOCO during the inauguration of the Mola Series Exhibition at Museo Cancebi in Manta Ecuador!
Several I Can Do This Workshops in Costa Rica produced amazing results!
Indiviual “I Can Do This” sessions are equally rewarding.
My friend Marie participated in her own healing session for an injured shoulder.
Before her son’s marriage, Maruja Sabando of Ecuador spent time painting with Cesar and cousins.
The very first “I Can Do This” project began at “Hummingbird’s House” in the Republic of Panama!
Hank and Marie Groff volunteered their helping hands with a window-security panel.
After finishing side one, I was pleased to have more volunteers to help with side two!
Gonzalo’s family created their own masterpiece after helpoing with the window!
This post would not be complete without a finale from the Magic Carpet Sessions!
It’s time to take a break from all of that painting! See more helping hands at WordPress’s Daily Prompt – “Helping Hands.”

Reblogged this on The ObamaCrat.Com™ and commented:
This place you live, might just be the one place on earth that is close to Paradise. Where is this place, again Ms. Zee?
If people turned off their cell phones more often and tuned into quiet non-vocal artistic projects, they might find paradise right under their – fingertips!
Thanks for the reblog! 🙂
I would like to enlist your help with something if you believe you are
interested and can help a just cause. I am working with
freetheirp6.org and a-justcause.com, 2 organizations involved with
fighting a legal injustice done to 6 businessmen from Colorado. These
6 businessmen have been tried, convicted and imprisoned all because
they invented a software program the federal government and the
“big boys”, such as IBM, wanted. These 6 businessmen are now in
prison, snatched from family and their lives, for being brilliant and
following their American dream.
I am asking you to blog about this injustice done these 6 men. This
subject may be off topic from what you normally blog about. The
reality is this could happen yo you, me and anyone who stands up to
the United States Government and our corrupt judicial system. No
One Is Safe.
I have written a series of 3 post about this case found here:
http://theobamacrat.com/2013/05/18/free-the-irp-6-this-could-
happen-to-you/
I am asking that if you agree with this cause please use all or part of
this 3 blog post series. I’m not interested in you using my name, using
the name of TheObamaCrat™ or linking back to my blog. This is not
about personal recognition but about freeing these 6 men. PLEASE
feel free to copy & paste what you need from my blog post or from
the Free The 6 web site located here: freetheirp6.org. You can find
links to the original articles I used in my initial post here:
freetheirp6.org. The web site spearheading this project to free these
6 men is : a-justcause.com.
I thank you in advance for whatever help you can give us. If you decide this is not your fight or that it is outside the scope of your blog, I fully understand.
No hard feelings & ♥ ❀ ✿ Namaste ❀ ✿ ♥

Thank You.
hey
unlike the wee hours of the night, mid day is when the internet crawls like a slug! i will certainly catch up not only on your posts concerning this but other news as well.. i am aware of how we are sometimes robbed of our rights, and i already have empathy for them w/o studying the details.
i’m about to be out of pocket for a few days while a guest comes through the area, but i will try to do something tonight before i roll out (literally walk out!) of town in the morning. i will hopefully follow up by the weekend.
thanks for what you do to help the good guys!

Thank U Ms. Z. Enjoy your time away, smell a flower or 2 for me. 😉
Great post! Beautiful concept for a workshop! And amazing work! Just proof that anyone and everyone can create pieces of art, they just have to do it and stop doubting 🙂
yes; sometimes there’s a fear of failure that stops some from ever trying. it’s very rewarding to watch how fast they blossom!
thank you so much for your comment!

Well “z” they have to have at least a modicum of talent to produce really good art. You are fantastic. Julie
ja! the next post addresses that statement just a tiny bit! i think that i might pack a few extra pencils and paper when i go to mindo next month! i might be able to find a few captive students for a test lesson while waiting on dinner!
🙂

Reblogged this on Oyia Brown.
wonderful mix of color and design. Well done.
thank you! those workshops are always rewarding!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful visual story with me today – I really must get back to doing more painting! 🙂
that would be so great! i hope that you’re soon back in that painting zone again soon! z
Many hands make light work; or works of art.
the only one that gave a bit of stress was the museum one. there was a swarm of people who wanted to paint!!!! i needed more brushes!
absolutely correct: “…you are going to love this…”
YES!!!
ja! thanks! the one coming up is the one that i think you”ll appreciate more! z
waiting…working on patience….r
Whoa…such a variety of helping hands. And the colors!!! Franklin has such steady hands to make his beautiful wrap jewelry. And the concentration…they are all in the Zen moment.
you are right.. for me, it’s pretty easy to teach others how to reach that zen moment! and yes, you’re right about the colors. perhaps i do fit in a bit more than i realized, as it’s hard to match the multi colors of this country!
Love the concept pictures of everyone helping out. Well done, Z!!!
thank you! those painting sessions always amaze me
I think you win the prize for the work it took to get these photo’s on this post. WOW …. !!!!! They’re all great images. The colorful artwork is fabulous and creative. Very nice post today ….
thankk you, dear isadora, for sticking with me through all of those images! there were so many beautiful people who have participated, and i did not want to slight them!
thank you!

That’s a wonderful collection z. It also encourages us (me!) to pause for a while and reflect on the help we (I) receive from others.
yes, we are also able to give a lot more than most of us realize. the gift of your comment also enhances my day! grrrrrracias!
Wonderful post! So inspiring!
thank you naomi. i think that one of these days i’ll do a painting full of those helping hands!
One hand like a grain of sand, a thousand hands are like a mountain, a mountain full of love.
Adiós amiga Z

thank you, carlos! yes, those hands do represent a lot of love! thanks for such an original comment! z
Well done!!! everybody working together is the best… I love when we have helping hands in our restaurant as well.. Nice post 🙂
yes, cute sweet genesis was wiping your tables the other day! she’s so precious with her always-present smile! z
Beautiful work…but more so is the fact that all the people are working together towards creating something of beauty!!!
there’s always a serene vibe that flows between everyone as they paint! thanks so much! z
So many hands and creative talent…for many who didn’t have a clue they had it until Miss Lisa put a brush in their hand. Love the wrapped jewelry and wood carving.
thanks! it’s amazing how many people we meet who have so little yet are so colorful and rich in spirit.
i’m glad that you enjoyed the post.. do you draw or paint?
Always enjoy walking through you work and seeing all your friends. If you ever have an on-line course, I am so IN!
ha! i’m about to post your first exercise.. sharpen your pencil HOY/now!
This challenge was made for you Lisa! Always a huge fan of your workshops. Like I have said before, I hope I have the good fortune of attending one someday 🙂
that would be so great! hopefully the pencil-drawing tips will nudge you into the drawing mode!!! z
Real beautiful collection 🙂
thank you! do you draw or paint?
Unfortunately no 🙂
hmmm. you’ll have to follow that exercise and see what happens. (Timeout for Art)
z
Love all the satisfaction you can see in these artistic people.
Now I wonder what new post you have coming up that I noticed you mentioning. I will get my pencil sharpened… 🙂
great!
i’m about to be out of pocket for the next few days.. online at night…
the thursday pencil sketch posts will always be called ‘timeout for art,’ if you and jack will join in the creativity! i’ll try to have mine posted on wed pm so that they reach you in plenty of time on thursdays!
Looking forward to seeing your Thursday/Wednesday creation.
thanks.. i have to do something with my left hand as promised, but the post is ready to go! thanks amiga!
Wow, that is the most unique version of this prompt I have read as far and I doubt anything can beat this 😀 Amazing collection of photos and I am especially impressed (like many of your other readers) at the amount of work you put into putting together this post. The photos are all so colorful and they exemplify the theme perfectly. The joy and love is almost palpable and the change your project brings about is so inspiring! Congratulations Z!! 😀
thank you so much for this amazing comment!!!
i have always been quietly surprised by my ability to calm people without saying a word. it has been equally easy to teach them to draw and paint.. it’s not really teaching them those abilities; it’s showing them how to get quiet and be 100 percent into the hand-eye task. all else falls into place, but sometimes it takes the skill of a pied piper.
thank you again!
lisa/z
Wonderful collaboration! Made me kinda teary. Really enjoyed this.
yes, it does the same for me.. ditto for beautiful souls marching together for a better world… or a beautiful choir.. or a well-written piece of music.. or – ah, to be ultra sensitive is sometimes a gift and a curse.. we can be a bit too sensitive sometimes, don’t you think?
Hands that build a world that shines like no other.
yes, you are so right! z
