This event was by the far the most interactive Rose event I’ve attended. Not only was I able to acquire a new skill, I was also able to take it home with me! I learned how to carve my stress away into the form of a nightlight. We used drills of various sizes to punch little holes into gourds that formed a design of our choosing. The gourds came in different shapes as well. I chose the pear-shaped gourd and drilled a face into it, which it now resembles a snowman. I added green gems in the place of its eyes so it matches my own. This was a very fun experience and it also helped de-stress a little bit as the second wave of prelims came around. This was the best study break I’d ever taken and I hope to enhance my creative skills with similar crafty projects.
