Lessons On Making Things

The summer is mild and the warm days have many of the pack out and about. Ricin is out too but not to explore. Today he is on a mission and the newest Mendacium member is with him. The red pup is seated in front of a large, flat, wooden table while Ricin bustles about, laying out various items for them to use. Once the table holds several long stripes of leather, colorful beads, and little shiny baubles, the blue boy finally seats himself across from the young pup.

A friendly smile is on his lips as he looks across the table at his student for the day and he straightens up slightly as he begins the lesson, “Okay Fiametta, we are going to make some intricate bracelets today! So first, we pick out how many strips of leather we want to use. This will determine how we braid them. I prefer an odd number.” A white-dipped paw reaches out to the gathered strips, pulling three over until they are in front of him.

Waiting until Fia has chosen how many she wants and has them in front of her, Ricin then moves onto the next step, saying, “So, before we can do anything, we need to tie off one end and hook it around the nail.” A paw points out the metal nails that stick up from the wooden table where obvious signs of prior use can be seen. The blue boy had made this table to make jewelry and other objects and now he gets to share with someone else. With the instruction given, he then proceeds to show her how to do it.
