I am singing schwitzerduutch

As some of you readers may already know, papi is speaking with me in schwitzerduutsch, which is what people speak in the northern part of switzerland. since he is the only one I know who speaks this language i don't speak it as well as I do hebrew but i understand most of what papi says to me. i can already use some words in that language and i like to say sentences that have words from both languages in them. to show off a little here is me singing along with papi out of my favorite evening book, which i like to look at and sing from in the evening. enjoy!

Papi "gets" a wooden dragon

so, now that Lia got her wooden horse and s riding it almost daily papi got a little jealous and wanted one as well. or maybe the story is that papi got a job to design a little show for a firm that wanted a 6 minute show in the middle of a forest in the middle of the night. Papi (that would be me) did the design for the clothing of the 5 actors and the staging of the whole thing. i told teh client that one of the actors would be sitting hanging from one of the trees. to make things more interesting i made this wooden dragon, which i colored with UV sensitive colors. the people who where performing had has that where made from bottles, which is what the firm we did it for produces. the movie below gives a nice idea of the dragon in comparison to Lia's horse. I hope i will get pictures from the show itself so that you can see how it looked at night.



and here's another little video that will show you Lia with one of the hat that were used in the event.
