Last weekend we hosted a Pie, Piano, Poetry, and Photography Party because we like all those things.  (So why not?)  J. joined us, proving that even middle schoolers are artists and like to share their work.  These are a few examples of J’s creativity.  He has fashioned at least two superheros; I’m sure more are hiding their identities in his sketch pad.  Here are his superheros are in all their glory.  The green one has lightening powers and the red one has lava powers.  Yes, lava powers.  Don’t get in his way.

The “Merry Christmas” cloth is J’s first attempt at sewing, much better than my first and last attempts at sewing.  J. also shared a wallet with us that he had made out of an old computer keyboard circuit board.  He confessed to waking up around 5 am with an unquenchable desire to attempt the wallet.  He did all his own research online to determine what he needed and how to make it work.  I take that back, I don’t think J. is even in Middle School yet.

Minds, they do great and inspiring things.  What will yours share today?
