Handmade Plate

I received a very special hand made surprise from the boys this Christmas. They made it especially for me during an OMOM’s play date at Trunnel Farms in October. On this particular outing, Carol went in my place so I didn’t see the boys create my gift. A local artist who specializes in children’s crafts guided them through the project. Each made a hand print on the plate in purple glazing. Then they added finger prints in purple, green and blue. Sandy said it looked kind of strange when the boys were finished and she was amazed to see the final product. Once the artist did the lettering, all the elements came together. It now rests in a place of honor in our dining room.
