The Joy of Creating

Air-dry clay ornaments were on the schedule today and a couple were made last weekend, but a funny thing happened while we were cutting, coiling, and shaping. Instead of sticking to an idea of what we should be making we just…made. It’s been a while since I’ve found a project that so utterly consumed everyone’s attention like that. It reminded me of why we started making ornaments.

It was nice.

So today I don’t have a tutorial to share with you, instead it’s just a picture of the kids making and molding, and a bit of advice. Whether it’s ornaments, a poem, a mudpie, or a friend…

I hope you’ve enjoyed the No Ugly Ornament Challenge as much as we have!

I look forward to doing it all over again next year!
