Wheels of Another Kind
When you walk into Angelfire Studios you are greeted by yarn. Lots and lots of beautiful, glorious yarn.
It is so easy to get distracted and wallow in all of that fibery goodness for a long, long time. But don't stop there. Go a little further. Go ahead. Just behind that table. What's this?
What are they doing back there?
Do they know how risky this is?
Mud in a yarn shop!?!
But you know you want to get your hands dirty too.
Look at my girl, how content she is, this young lady who puts so much pressure on herself throughout the school year. Shouldn't she just spend the summer playing with clay?
We're lucky to have Justine's studio so close by. She's an artist who believes in following your creative impulses - getting your hands dirty, regardless of the medium. How could you not admire a woman like that?
And yes, that bump beneath her hand is her latest WIP.
That looks such a fantastic yarn store, especially with the pottery.

This is EXACTLY the kind of stuff that makes me want to move to NJ! My husband grew up in Madison. There should be more places like this in the world. Two of my favorite crafts in one place! I'd never leave.

Oh remember having fond experiences throwing mud on the wheel. I wish I had a piece of paradise like that near me, I hope your girls get to spend a lot of time there for the rest of the summer!

OMG, I'm a knitter and a potter too. I'd be in paradise doing both things at the same time, if only I had an extra set of hands. Love this place, love it, I tell you.
