Getting a Little Sheepish

Acorn Hill's practice class

The real class

The class' 60 sheep

The Good Shepherd

Corn husks, pipe cleaners and cotton balls unite to make sheep at Acorn Hill and The Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Gainesville.

In late December Sarah Daffodil was asked by a friend to copy an original painting by Linda Anderson. This painting, The Good Shepherd, became 3-dimensional when Daffodil made it from cornhusks. This was just the beginning of the project.

To help celebrate her friend's church's anniversary, Daffodil was also asked by her to teach how she makes her sheep to the children at her church. Daffodil practiced sheep making with residents of Acorn Hill beforehand. Daffodil's students at the church made 60 sheep to decorate the tables for the spring celebration.

In two more weeks shepherd classes begin with the adults.
