"The little angel factory" is open once again. This year, I decided on a dogwood flower for the chest piece. With a student teaching internship awaiting me in the fall, I only committed to 200 angels rather than last year's 400. Each body is thrown on the wheel, trimmed and then added on through slab cutouts and hand rolled heads. I use a small extruder for the hair. The final piece acts as a beaded and wired hanging bell. Each has its own distinct ring and are exclusively made for Cabarrus County's Hospice Light Up A Life Fundraiser.
A couple of our hens enjoying the watermelon half from the Farmer's Market. I love working the cashier for Sheila and Johnny Greene's produce stand. They give me loads of over-ripe peaches and all of their sample watermelon. The chickens get the watermelon treat, but I've kept the peaches for smoothies, peach cobbler, and peach ice cream. Also, blackberries are ripe ready for the pickin' near our house.
