Description
At our National Wildlife Refuge we celebrate the Watershed Festival every September.
One of the projects much loved is the printing of salmon on T-shirts.
The Nisqually Tribe fishermen supply the salmon
the visitors paint them
then apply the shirt
press down until the paint has soaked in
and peel.
Watching the kids' faces is a joy.

Thank you, my friend. The kids are such fun to watch with the big paint brushes and their total absorbtion in each project.
