“Our homemaking activity, in the Schwamendingen Ward last month was making dishes, candle holders, hot plates, wall hangings, or whatever out of clay.  The sisters were asked to bring actual leaves to imprint in the clay by using a rolling pin.  Then they used a knife to cut the leaves out and to deepen the veins [...]
