How are you?
Hi! Just wanted to drop by and leave you a note or two lol. It is vacation time here in Germany, so our days are filled with the question: what will we be doing today?! And the weather is pretty bad either, so it is hard to plan something that requires going outside. But of course I have been and still am busy and there will be some great stuff coming very soon: this weekend!
But apart from all that, i also wanted to share with you the pics I recieved from Jana's project she did at school. At these project days the kids can choose a project they like out of many possibilities. I was astonished that Jana chose making jewelry, I mean, not the pearl threading kids stuff but the real gold works thing, you know?! She has never been on the super artsy and crafty side, as she didn't have the patience to spend her time on a little piece of whatever.
There were 9 kids chosen, among them Jana! She was thrilled!
They had to make a sketch of what they wanted to do and chose the material, copper, or silver or whatever they thought would suit their needs. I guess in these 4 days they learned a lot about maths, chemistry and physics, more than they can ever learn at school. And they had to work with their hands, deal with machines, saws and fire, dangerous liquids and all to create something really beautiful.
She did a gorgeous little piece of art, but she was disappointed with herself somehow...she had wanted to do something in silver but didn't have the patience to do the rims for the little jewels she wanted to use. So she left this idea behind and did something else...guess she still has to learn that she really has to go for it if she really wants it or not be decieved if she decides differently.
I think that she did a fab job nontheless. What do you think?
Take care, wherever you are
