Yet Another Little Known Fact

Bossy’s daughter made this pumpkin votive holder in 7th grade metal shop, and then she spray painted it the traditional Halloween pink and purple.

By the way, Bossy took this photo seconds prior to asking her daughter to explain how she made it, which involved a large piece of metal and cut strips 8″ long and a big circle machine with a little circle inside it and a chunk of metal that was thicker and another piece of metal around a cylinder and something about a blow torch and something else about a hammer and sister mercy if Bossy’s daughter could still be at the table explaining it, she would be.

   I did not elect to take either home ec. or shop while I was in high school. I am now kicking myself in the head for this decision, because both of those would have been much more useful in my present lifestyle than advanced chemistry. Which I almost failed anyway.

   I think I would’ve been better off with the metal pumpkin. That thing is rad.

   LOVE stuff that the kids make. I have a jewelry box my son made that is proudly displayed. Bossy’s daughter should keep up the good work. I’m jealous of all the artistic talent flowing at Bossy’s.

   Bossy’s Daughter MADE this. I LOVE. She should become a welder I think. (Or maybe just work for Martha Stewart. I imagine there are far fewer blow torches there.

    Hey, if I were Bossy’s daughter, I’d still be explaining it, too. She *should* be proud — how many people can bend metal to their will?
