UChristine Paschal ubambe iqhaza emkhakheni wezobuciko kusenesikhathi, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukudweba nokudweba esemncane, noma idizayini yobuhlalu, imifanekiso eqoshiwe nobucwebe abuhlola esemdala.Ngemva kokuthatha umhlalaphansi eminyakeni eyishumi nambili edlule, izinto eziningi azithakaselayo zahlanganiswa, lapho eqala umsebenzi wakhe wesibili wokuba yiciko lemidiya elixubile.
Namuhla, izakhamuzi zaseGuerneville nochwepheshe bengqondo endaweni yangaphambili ye-Sonoma Development Centre bathole ubucwebe nemisebenzi yezandla ekhuthazwe imvelo engathola injabulo nokuphumula.Itimu yolwandle iyitimu eyintandokazi, kanye nezinyoni, ama-whimsical garden fairies, ngisho nabathakathi abangamaphupho bavela emisebenzini yakhe.Waziwa futhi ngama-hummingbirds e-3D akhiwe ngobuhlalu bembewu encane.
Nakuba ewujabulela lo mfanekiso, ngokushesha wahlanganyela izinto ayezithandayo esikhundleni sokuphishekela wona isikhathi esigcwele.Wathi: “Angikwenzanga lokhu ukuze ngiziphilise.”“Ngigcina ubuciko bami nemisebenzi yezandla iphila.Ngempela, lokhu ngikwenza ngoba ngijabule.Lokhu nje ukujabula ukwenza lokhu.Okunye.Uqweqwe lwekhekhe.Uma umuntu eyithanda, imnandi kakhulu.”
Wathatha amakilasi obuciko bobuso nobuso futhi wafunda amakhono ezincwadini, izifundo ze-inthanethi, nemisebenzi yezandla eyenziwa kumabonakude ngeminyaka yawo-1990.“Ikakhulukazi ngiyazifundisa, kodwa ngizothola ugqozi nolwazi ngamakilasi,” uPaschal, 56, ungumama oneminyaka emithathu, ugogo oneminyaka eyisithupha futhi owayengumholi we-Girl Scout, wabelana namalungu ayi-17 ithalente lobuciko.
Ukhombise umsebenzi wakhe e-Artisan Cooperative Gallery e-Bodega, kanye nasemicimbini yezandla nemikhosi eWestern County (okuhlanganisa noSuku Lwabadobi Bodega Bay) ngezinsuku eziwumqedazwe ngaphambi kokugqashuka kwe-coronavirus.U-Paschal usebenze njengomongameli we-cooperative, ebonisa yonke into kusukela ku-fiber art nokuthatha izithombe kuya ezitsheni zobumba nemidwebo edalwe izingcweti ezingaphezu kuka-50 ezikhethiwe ze-Sonoma County.
“Kunezinhlobo ezahlukene zobuciko.Wathi: “Lapho abantu bengena endaweni yethu yokudlela futhi bebona izinhlobonhlobo esinazo, bamangala ngempela.”
Imisebenzi yakhe yobuciko enendikimba yempilo yasolwandle ithandwa kakhulu yizivakashi kanye nabantu bendawo.Usebenzisa amadola esihlabathi amahle esikhundleni sephepha noma amaseyili ekushoneni kwelanga kanye ne-landscape watercolors ye-Sonoma Coast.Uphinde asebenzise ama-urchin olwandle ekwakhiweni kobucwebe nobucwebe, esebenzisa kabusha ama-exoskeleton amhlophe, amise okwediski ukwenza umsebenzi wobuciko.Idola lesihlabathi elingange-dime lilengiswa emacicini, futhi idola lesihlabathi elikhudlwana lihlotshiswe ngobuhlalu bembewu ukuze libe umgexo olengayo.
“Intokozo enkulu uma kufika umuntu ezothenga izinto eziningi,” kusho uPaschal.“Lezi zinto ziyangicasula kakhulu futhi zingijabulisa kakhulu ngengikwenzile.”
Amacici akhe edola lesihlabathi ngokuvamile athengiswa ngamadola angu-18 kuya kwangu-25, ngokuvamile anezintambo zesiliva ezikhazimulayo, ngokuvamile ezinamaparele noma amakristalu.Babonisa uthando lukaPaschal ngolwandle, eduze kakhulu nekhaya lakhe.Uthe: “Ngihlale ngikhangwa ulwandle.”
Wayencoma ubuhle bemvelo bamadola esihlabathi, ayehlotshiswe ngezinkanyezi ezinamaciko amahlanu noma amacembe.Wayeke athole eyodwa ngesikhathi ekama.Uthe: “Njalo ngesikhashana, ngizothola ephilayo, kufanele uyiphonse bese uyigcina, ngethemba ukuthi bayaphila.
Imikhiqizo ayiklamayo yayi-odwe enkampanini yokuhlinzeka nge-inthanethi, futhi amadola esihlabathi ayevela ikakhulukazi ogwini lwaseFlorida.
Nakuba ayengakaze ahlangabezane nedola elikhulu lesihlabathi ogwini lwaseCalifornia, izivakashi zaseCanada ezahlanganyela kulo mfelandawonye zawuthanda umsebenzi wakhe wobuciko futhi zanikeza uPaschal izingcezu ezimbili ezizithole esiqhingini samatshe ngasogwini lwaseMazatlan, eMexico.Isamba esikhulu semali yesihlabathi singalinganiswa ngayo yonke imali yesihlabathi.Cishe 5 noma 6 amayintshi ububanzi.“Bengingazi ukuthi zingaba zinkulu kangaka,” kusho uPashal.Lapho efika ekhaya evela egalari, waphuka yedwa.“Ngimoshekile.”Wasebenzisa enye kumonitha.Zombili izinhlangothi zayo zivalwe ngesivikelo esisobala esifaka kuwo wonke amasaka esihlabathi.
Imisebenzi yakhe iphinde iveze ezinye izimila zasolwandle, ingilazi yolwandle, i-driftwood namagobolondo (okuhlanganisa ne-abalone).Usebenzisa ubumba olunemibala ye-polymer ukuze aqophe izintelezi ezincane zamahlengethwa, izimfudu zasolwandle, izinkalankala, ama-flip-flops, njll., futhi ahlobise amabhokisi akhe esikhumbuzo enziwe ngezandla, ubucwebe, odonsa, imihlobiso kaKhisimusi neminye imisebenzi yezandla ngezindikimba zasolwandle.
Wapenda umklamo wakhe okhunini futhi wawusika ngesaha eligoqayo, ngaleyo ndlela ephendula izingcezu ezindala zokhuni olubomvu zibe imidwebo ye-mermaid, ihhashi lasolwandle kanye nehange.Walengisa amagobolondo edizayini ukwenza ama-chimes omoya.
Uthe: “Angazi ukuthi anginakwa ngokwanele, kodwa ngiba nesithukuthezi kalula.Wahamba esuka kwenye indlela eya kwenye, ngolunye usuku njengombazi, ngolunye usuku njengobuhlalu noma umdwebo.Ukwenza imihlobiso ye-hummingbird enobuhlalu namacici kudinga ukunakwa okukhethekile, inqubo uPaschal ayibiza ngokuthi “ukuzindla.”Ngehlobo eledlule, ngesikhathi ekhishwa ngesikhathi somlilo wasendle waseWalbridge owawusongela iGuerneville, wahlala eRohnert Park Motel izinsuku ezingu-10, eqoqa ubuhlalu futhi egcina ama-hummingbirds.
Kumthathe amahora angu-38 ukwenza i-hummingbird engama-intshi angu-3 okokuqala ngqa.Manje, ngobuchwepheshe obunekhono nolwazi, angasebenza ngokwesilinganiso amahora angaba ngu-10.Umklamo wakhe usebenzisa “obunye ubuhlalu obuncane kakhulu ongabuthenga” futhi ulingisa ama-hummingbird atholakala endalweni, njengama-hummingbird ka-Anna.“Kuningi lokhu esinakho lapha,” kusho yena.Wafunda amamaki abo encwajaneni ekhiqizwe i-Steward of the Coast kanye ne-Redwoods ezinze e-Guerneville, inhlangano engenzi nzuzo ayivolontiya edolobheni lakubo (wazalelwa e-Guerneville).
I-Paschal iphinde yahlonipha imboni yewayini esifundeni, isebenzisa ubuhlalu obenziwe ngamaqoqo amagilebhisi ukwenza amacici kanye nezinsiza zewayini.Ngesikhathi sezinsuku zokuzilibazisa zephepha lasendlini yangasese yobhubhane, wazithola ehlekisa kakhulu futhi wenza namacici ahlotshiswe ngemiqulu yephepha lasendlini yangasese enobuhlalu.
Manje usenelisekile ngejubane lakhe, ubuyekeze isibonisi sakhe kumfelandawonye, ​​futhi unempahla eyanele ekugcineni abuyele emibukisweni yezandla nemikhosi.Wathi: “Angifuni ukusebenza mina.”“Ngifuna ukuzijabulisa.”
Ngaphezu kwalokho, wathola izinzuzo zokwelapha zobuciko.Uhlushwa ukucindezeleka kanye nesifo sokucindezeleka kwangemva kokuhlukumezeka, kodwa uzizwa ekhululekile lapho ephishekela umsebenzi wakhe wobuciko.
Uthe: “Ubuciko bami buyingxenye ebalulekile yokungigcina ngigxile futhi ngivimbele izimpawu zami.”“Yingakho ubuciko bubalulekile empilweni yami.”
