By the time we're adults, instead of view- ing play as a natural and Weaving f essential part of our lifestyle. we tend to consider it in- significant.” Clementi, who created and produced the audio- visual cartoon presentation, McFain from Twain. By CAROLE STAFFORD According to a couple of Webster’s dic- tionaries, a hobby is “an occupation or interest to which one gives his spare time ... an activity outside his main occupation to which he devotes much time for pleasure”. But what happens if, per chance, he or she happens to achieve a degree of success pursuing a favorite pastime? Someone else, it seems, suddenly wants to organize him, market him, put a price tag on his projects and turn his hobby into a business. “Td rather give it up than be orgamzed about 1.” says Mary Norbury ot West Vancourer, who bepan weaving Il years age because. “1 didn't want to find that when my family had grown and icft, ] was sitting around doing norhing ~ Norbury and a small group of fnends get together once a week. put on a dve pot and a teapot - and gencrally enjoy themselves. shanny ideas and ups oon thear com Mon aveocation. wearing But the, dont want any pubbeny on where or when they hold thea annual vale they coukdni commodats possibly ac the crowds “We sell only to our fen nds says Norbur, Wearing anal the the par tec ularly preparahon ol takes time take Fup or oa Pprvor warol PHoow beotap homes tt to produce a Coborful qursy havent ttn Sweater! j fanmtest shea! saves Norbury Ldoutwhonl can LW sc aech oo beethe whake the won SU pps coe bo naege of tease oor spin whibe ft watehb tele vision She doesot fog her tours amd oshe orebuse. ot take orders Te tahes a ferry ume.” Phe process begins wih acquinng the wool the “preasy old fleece” which She gets trom othe fabre Factory on Manne Dive in West Van The best wool. she says, Comes trom New Zcaland where the clamatc suits the sheep perlectly.

Originally from Toronto, she obiained her B.A. from the University of Guelph in 1977 and moved to North _Vancouver the next year. _ During her two years at Cap College, she also obtain- ed a certificate in Leisure Lifestyling — a four-course program, the only one of its kind of Canada. McFain was created to satisfy the prac- ticum requirements for one of those courses. But it was also designed to tie in with some of the work she began at the Ecology Centre as a summer student. First, she completed the mural on the wall of the Community Wing, adapting characters from Dr. Zeuss to emphasize the importance of Lichen will create a chartieuse color and retain an appealing. charactemsic odor. omon skins resultin an wodine color rather soft) vellow and walnuts cencased oan ty oulcr green husasi produce a “walnutly color.

To further promote the concept of leisure lifestyling. she is compiling two resource files. One will list all the recreational activities on the North Shore for children, adults and senior citizens; the other will con- tain information on how to achieve a healthy hifestyle, including stress manage- ment, nutrition and physical fitness. McFain ts the third link in the leisure-centred project. “L hope the slide shows will help to foster an apprecia- tion of the spontaneity of leisure.” says Clementi. McFain is a dragon because Clementi likes dragons. “A handsome fella as dragons go. a lively green with pink spots and toes.” ob the hippy eral she started waking Moroccan jyalibas full-length osteiped robes complete wath) foods 7 thes were OPN popular bat atten a wide Pdidit have the Patlhonee fer them any more — Por a while she made Ubrow covers and then vo into making rugs the ous lake anywhere from seen te 10 pounds of hand sproning "Thats a lotol spinning” So dast year she bepan te capenmeni, After dipping ao Jou of raw bits of flecco intod vartety Ob dithoreamt dye pars weluding Braniwood and Sandadw ood, she let the wool pass through the sprmaine wheel. thick aud stapyps Then she bevan to kato Tooghdnt have the fagntes: tek Marat at Was poImme ta howehk tthe Bot 1 thowehe CUO rts pou ta be torratbhe and Tl) hide it Neve stow away aud EY Oe as rn es warty LO bee me pe OES Wohl oh taped et bere Rerecous aad ove the post Ve ar Nortuars Ty ee Ye abouts dose notiboan | te Nwealern, tovcethe: woth TO reas Geemstibote oa veap ss work Norbury soy She ceorubd never canna a bavi: FREE MINI-FACIAL and after our complimentary Mini-Facia} Pecial Gift for a Happigs sift Certificate that will give you a NT on your next appgintmeff t op m@Py services that our siietcare centre j aNnicures,, pedicures, ercing to name just a rom, Poagy 1. 1981. ae Ee bert Bryan a Searching for happiness, the lively creature runs the gamut of emotional response ina serics ol colorful and detailed drawit ps.
