Amy discovered this incredible corn plant growing from a wad of clay made by one of older students and kept moist for future use.  Our student had employed an ear of indian corn to make impressions in the earthy mound.  Some of the kernals obviously found their way into the creation and this beatiful gift was the unexpected result.  When we first saw it we both knelt in front of it, awed by the determination of life.  The children have enjoyed viewing this plant as it stretches toward the light.  A few of them intentionally added some kernals to their own clay and now we have a series of similar miracles growing on a shelf in the studio beneath a propped up plastic bag.  A breathtaking reminder of life's tenacity.
