The CHA Drama of which Sarah spoke

Basically what happened was this… When we arrived at the Amaco booth, Lynne Ann tried to shield the display case from me.  Well the Hope symbol that the Buddha was holding up had been broken at some point during transit along the lines somewhere.  So when there was a break in the crowd we got some clay from the booth and we went to have some lunch and recreate the sign.  We used Cat’s camera to take a photo of the hope sign, we used Ponsowan’s folder and (free) excel craft knife and pretty much improvised a recreation of the piece.  Linda Peterson was doing a demo at the Amaco booth when I got back and I used her heat gun to give it a quick set and I put it on the piece just in front of the broken bit because people were voting.  Finally after most people were gone I put the fixed bit back into Lisa Pavelka’s oven and then we cut off the old broken bit and glued the new piece on. 

So that was the drama of CHA and the Buddha Bottle.
