"When you look at my entry you see an angel, about eight years old, seated on a star. She's repairing another another star that's lost some of its shine. You sec her from behind, but her face is reflected in the second star." Hope's ornament is edged in floated gold and the figure is dressed in rosy pink fur-lined robes. The face is barely bigger than a nickel. "Ornaments had to be totally original, never produced for sale," says Hope, "and they had to be carved from within a four-inch square of wood." Her winning entry will be on display display at a benefit raffle May 5th in Pittsburgh, with proceeds going to a project mn by the Society of Decorative Decorative Painters.

Hope urges anyone who has ever felt an interest in folk art to sign up for a couple of beginners' classes to learn the basics. That's how she got started 10 years ago. There are oodles of strokes to learn and oodles of bmshes, paints, patterns and applications to select from, she says. She uses acrylic paint for most of her creations, although other folk artists will work in oils or water colors. colors. Hope was so enthusiastic when she started that she quickly accumulated accumulated 100 pots of paint. She had to restrict herself to spending $20 a week on art supplies. Although there are many brashes on the market, Hope manages perfectly perfectly well with her favorite five. She'll turn her large, flat brash sideways sideways to narrow its stroke and she keeps a couple of good "rounds" handy. "Beginners sometimes find it a straggle to master the many strokes, but they should stick with it for a few more classes until they become proficient and really at ease with it." Hope is already eagerly anticipating anticipating entering the 3rd annual "Strokes of Creativity" contest next year.
