As a parent, I know that art projects can be a mixed blessing. Some are breathtaking. Most should go in the circular file. Worse still are things my kids build – they fall apart and break. They take up space.
God save me if my sons bring home noise-making pieces of art they have built.

As a teacher, I conveniently ignore my own good sense. I present wind chimes built in preparation for Mother’s Day as part of our “building music” unit.
Make it safe and keep the rubber side down.

Thanks for visiting my corner of the net. I hope you find the information and discussion interesting. A few notes on the media/posts here -
All rights reserved on the photos. I use these pictures to display projects and works in progress from both my home and workplace, not as CC pieces for other bloggers/sites. I do this as a precaution for the privacy of both my family and students. Please link rather than repost to these.
Feel free to use the words and notify me if you do. I'd appreciate it.
This blog is in no way connected to my workplace - it may be about my work, but it is not endorsed by them. They know who they are.
Use caution when working with children and beginning woodworkers. The only thing between a student and a cut-off finger is an attentive and knowledgeable teacher.
