Jersey Day & Bible Projects

Today we had our bible projects due.  I always dread working on them because they are supposed to take tons of hours, and they do.  I get a little overly involved in them.  But this year we did a little better.  Sophia embroidered a pillow.  I taught her one stitch and she pretty much used it for the whole motif.  She choose Adam & Eve.  She got a good grade and learned something at the same time.

Madison did this plate that was so cool, but then she painted some paint on top of it which made it look not nearly as cool.  She made it entirely out of clay then carved the fruits of the spirit in it.  Then carved the word love in the middle.  Then fired it.  I thought it looked great that way, but she added some paint  on top of the glaze that didn't look as nice as the rest of the project, but once she did it it was done.  She still got a good grade, and learned how to make a slump mold with clay.  It was cool.

Today also happened to be Jersey day at the Junior High so I got some fun shots with Sophia and her "crew."  Those ladies crack me up every time!
