Just teach them to bead!
April 24, 2010This afternoon I had the pleasure of teaching these two angels how to make necklaces. Meet CINDY AND JUAN!!
Juan is most likely the sweetest and most well behaved 11 year old boy on the planet. He loves playing soccer.. and took to stringing beads with surprising speed and ability!
Cindy is 8 years old and just as sweet as her big brother, she is a painter, a sculpter, and an expert translator!
Dora .. their mother is a tad bit more shy … but she also delighted in making necklaces and seemed to lose herself into this rare quiet time in her world.
Juan made a necklace for his 92 year old great grandmother. Today is her birthday.
And Cindy made some beautiful pieces, she works really well with color.
This is something I hope to do more often.. including many other kids from our amazing community here. Today was a test run.. and I couldn’t have had better kids to practice with! It feels great to teach and inspire kids to sit down and make something beautiful in a quiet and bright environment, it’s also fun to hear what happens in their world….
THANK YOU CINDY, JUAN, AND DORA… LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT TIME WITH YOU!
