I think John has taken a lesson from Dan (with his fancy wine-cork trivets) and has come up with his own craft project. He was on the committee at our church to raise money for a big capital campaign to replace the slate roof of the church and the steeple. (The church is over 75 years old.) John had the contractor save the old smaller slates from the steeple when they took them off. Then he had a printer silkscreen a picture of the church steeple on each slate. Now he's in the process of touching up a few of the slates and sealing them all with lacquer. He's planning to give one to each family that donated money to the campaign. (They raised about 2 million dollars in about 3 weeks!) Here's a few pictures of the job in progress.
Wow, Dan and I are really impressed - such a creative use of the old slate. And did John do the silk-screening himself? I wouldn't have thought of silk-screening onto a hard surface. Very nice, John!
