Face mugs, 2014

That's right, it's time for 5th grade face mugs - a tradition that goes back to the dark ages in my classroom...

For all the details about this fantastic project, including how-to's, artist inspiration and a history video, please search "face jugs" on my sidebar. We opted for mugs rather than jugs this year, to accommodate what I had hoped would be little mounds of fluffy green plant life that I've been nurturing from seeds for a couple of months now. They were oh-so-promising early on, then they kind of stopped growing and withered away. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. The pots are still terrific!
