I am the producer of unnecessary drama.
I make stuff more complicated than it needs to be.
I talk a lot. About me.
I want to DO more. For others.
So here's the goal for the next year: make pots and give the proceeds away.
Heifer International supplies animals and the skills to raise 'em to folks that could use some help.
A pig costs $120. And can produce up to 16 more pigs within a year.
That right there is hope. For a small business or for the health of a family.
I'd love to integrate your story, or that of a loved one, into a piece of clay.
Or to create a full installation of pieces that tell a story together.
Or to just sell you an ice cream bowl.
Both of our stories will benefit.
I wanna give away 50 pigs in 2013.
Let me know if you're up for helping me do it. Oink Oink.
pba.
This is so great Pete! I'd like to place an order for 2 pieces: 1 for my brother Jack & 1 for my mother Sheela. For a few years in a row, instead of exchanging Christmas gifts with one another, we used the $ we would've spent on gifts and pooled it and gave it to Heifer International for pigs, goats and ducks I believe. Anyway, your budding ministry here is awesome & I'd love to participate. It doesn't really matter to me what you make particularly for them each. Honestly and sadly to date, I don't talk with them much and see them less frequently than that, so I don't know what they need. My mother loves to cook and drinks coffee on her commute into Washington D.C. regularly and my brother is also a coffee drinker now and has a lot of driving that he does in Albuquerque, NM. Maybe just pray about it & go with what the Lord lays on your heart about the pieces for them? With much appreciation for & inspiration from you, Chris
