It has been six months of waiting with virtually no indication of when we might get our first call to visit Russia. We keep very busy as teachers, but when the chance arises, we are often contemplating the future of our family. We recently decided to construct a strategy to organize further support for our international endeavors. We are calling it 'The Clayton Vayu Project' and are hoping to encourage others to join in with us.
The premise came about surprisingly while working in the basement art studio. I was searching through images of antique planes, trains, and automobiles. I discovered a beautiful image of a P-51 Mustang in lone flight. It seemed adventurous, bold, and mission driven; spirited like some american renegade. Yet, it appeared alone, vulnerable, and maybe even lost. Whatever it was, it seemed to capture our thoughts on the future and quickly became a personalized symbol of our aspirations.
I began using this symbol to create a stencil design for a t-shirt and added along some text. We worked in the basement together to print a few as gifts for family members. When some friends saw the image and heard about our idea, their response encouraged us to take the project idea more seriously. They wanted to participate and really loved the reciprical idea.
We are currently working out the details on the production of the shirts and are hoping to drum up support to help us with our dream.
