A Blacksmith Guild http://www.traditioninaction.org/OrganicSociety/Images_1-100/A_023_Blacksmith.jpg A guild, according to Webster's Dictionary, is an association of people with similar interests or pursuits, also, or more particularly, a guild is a medieval association of merchants or craftsmen. The word guild comes from the Old English and means Payment or Tribute. Historically, for example, a carpenter could pay tribute to join a carpenter's guild. He would then be protected by the society of fellow carpenters... protected from price gouging, unfair trade, etc. and protected from others stealing their "secrets", i.e. skills or "tradesecrets". This is where a lot of the secret societies were initially formed (like the Masons... initially, stonemasons). That carpenter could then focus on being the best carpenter he could be while making a good living for himself and his family. But enough of the history... This term has been applied to Permaculture to describe a collection of plants (a polyculture) that individually could survive on their own, but perform much better when grouped together. One of the first, and most well known, Permaculture Guilds... the Three Sisters. http://api.ning.com/files/H5c*qJE70zhPQyH0YVPLwQTZm7xxzW5HhxqQf3ys9D5bzDh3u1xjKrMLIm1PFfQfidvTx9s5CF7cyNJ4onNzkzWx6ClHtR4q/3sistersmain_Full.jpg The classic Permaculture Guild is called the "three sisters" named by the Iroquois (native American tribe). The three sisters are corn, beans, and squash. The corn provides support for the beans. The bean is a legume and pulls nitrogen from the air and puts (fixes) it in the soil with the help of bacteria and fungi. The nitrogen fertilizes the corn and squash. The squash, with its large leaves, shades out weeds and prevents moisture evaporation, and has prickly leaves which deter animal pests. Finally, squash, beans, and corn are nutritionally complementary. Permaculture Guilds then are "groups of species that support each other in beneficial ways, aiding self-maintenance, and reducing the work required to maintain the system." - Martin Crawford (Creating a Forest Garden) An Apple Guild design by Bill Mollison http://www.labocacenter.org/Portals/3/Templates/IdealAppleGuild.jpg Polycultures (as opposed to monocultures like a field of corn) offer many benefits according to Dave Jacke (Edible Forest Gardens): As a whole, yield more than comparable monocultures Require fewer labor, energy, and material inputs Minimize stress, competition, and herbivory Maximize harmony and cooperation Generate self-renewing fertility Live within a sustainable water budget Remain stable with little to no maintenance Ideally, a Permaculture Guild will provide the following: Increase vital nutrients: mainly nitrogen with nitrogen fixing plants, but also phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and other minerals with mineral accumulating plants, and general fertility plants. Attract Beneficial Insects (like ladybugs, lacewings, mantises, predatory wasps, etc.) to reduce pests. Attract Bees (including honey bees) through the use of honey plants (nectar producing plants) to increase pollination. Confuse pests with strongly aromatic plants (so pest can't find the one plant they normally prey on). Give support to a diverse population of bacteria, fungi, insects, and animals which increases diversity. Contain plants with differing soil profiles (plants with different root patterns and systems, i.e. shallow vs tap roots... so the plants are not competing for the same soil space). Contain ground cover plants that suppress unwanted species, i.e. "weeds". Contain plants with the genetic diversity and/or selective breeding that resist pests and disease A guild design by Toby Hemenway (Gaia's Garden). http://smartpei.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451db7969e2011570d7df9a970b-800wi There is so much to building and designing guilds, and so many benefits from them, that it is impossible to convey it all in one post. I'll add more, a bit at a time, about constructing Permaculture Guilds and provide as many examples as I can. I just wanted to introduce the concept in this post.

2nd Grade Silhouettes We're very proud of our silhouettes! Art vocabulary words related to this lesson: *horizon line *silhouette *background *foreground *warm colors For more information please follow me on Instagram @youngschoolartwithmr.g Like me on Facebook https://m.facebook.com/youngschoolart/ First. we drew an island and a horizon line on white paper. Now, it was easy to distinguish between the ocean and the sky. Next, we painted a beautiful sunset and ocean with watercolor paints. Finally, we used a Sharpie to draw and color the silhouettes. Many students chose to draw palm trees and boats. Other students added dolphins.

material: screenprint on paper size: 17 inches wide, 22 inches tall I couldn't find very much about this artist, except that she is Native and born in 1939 (https://americanart.si.edu/artist/patricia-allott-67). There are not a lot of copies of this print available and this is an original on heavy paper, with the artists embossment in the lower left corner. It's got some marks/scuffs on the top corners especially and the back, but the image is very clean and bright still. Check out all of the fantastic finds at www.etsy.com/shop/FreeWomanFolk
