more than the cost of her sup-
plies. "I feel it's impor-
tant that people be able to
purchase nice gifts at affor-
dable prices."
On rare occasion, she has
rented a booth at a craft
bazaar. Friends often buy
small china pieces from her.
But Waldman's Southfield
neighbors need not fear great
throngs of shoppers during
the upcoming holiday season.
Waldman does do a good
business among her friends
with her hand-painted, china
bay shoes, decorated with
delicate flowers and per-
sonalized with the newborn's
vital statistics — "a great
Bubbie gift."
Whatever profit Waldman
rings up at the end of the
year, "that's my charity
money," she explains. "It's my
way of giving, and I don't have
to go to my husband for it."
Organizations particularly
close to her heart are Pioneer
Women/Na'amat and Hillel
Day School. "We started
Hillel," Waldman says fondly.
"When my son, Marty, first
went to Hebrew school, he
learned to read, but, just like
me, he didn't know what he
was reading. Five years in
Hebrew school, and I never
could translate anything. But
my brother-in-law grew up in
Montreal. He went to a
Talmud Torah. He could
speak Hebrew, and I said,
`That's what I want for my
kid.' "
The Waldmans went out
and recruited Hillel's first
families, eight for the
kindergarten class and eight
for the first grade. "But Mar-
ty never got to go. He was too
old, and Sheila was even
older. Of our four, only Karen
went to Hillel."
Today Marty is an attorney,
Sheila (Hoffenbium) is a busy
mother of two young children,
and Karen is in real estate.
Second son, Gavin, is in the
building business with his
dad.
Despite a variety of craft ac-
complishments, Waldman in-
sists that she is not artistic.
To the contrary, she explains.
"I'm heavy handed, but I took
classes and I've had good
teachers."
A class many years ago in
making beaded flowers
resulted in Waldman's need
for small containers for her
beaded bouquets. Having pur-
chased a number of tiny,
white vases, she inquried,
"Now, how do I decorate this
stuff?"
" 'You talk to Mrs. Schultz:
was the reply. And so I met a
gorgeous little lady, a
marvelous woman. It was like
finding my aunt all over
again, and I spent the next 15
Painting china plates is another craft Sylvia Waldman pursues in her
spare time.
years in her china painting
class."
From Grace Schultz,
Waldman learned to paint
"fast and furiously." The art
of china painting is derived
from taking a minimum of
strokes, she explains. "One,
two, three, and there you have
your petals and your leaves.
The more you push the paint
around, the sloppier the work
becomes. You apply your
paint very thinly, the less, the
better?'
Following Schultz's death,
Waldman didn't want to give
up taking classes. So she sign-
ed up for weekly sessions with
Dorothy Hudgens at her
home in Pleasant Ridge. "I
don't sketch well. I often have
Dorothy sketch for me, and I
do the painting."
China painting is perma-
nent, explains Waldman, who
has her own small kiln for fir-
ing the little pieces. "Except
for gold, china paint never
wears off. The colors don't
fade in the dishwasher.
"Unfortunately, there are
some people who just don't ap-
preciate hand-painted items.
They will pay $10 for a mug
produced in a factory, but
hesitate to spend $6 on one
that's been painted and fired
twice."
In addition to the bears, the
china booties and tiny dishes
and boxes, the delicate bead-
ed blooms, the afghans, and
her needlepoint bags,
Waldman also makes hand-
painted Christmas ("You
should excuse the expres-
sion.") ornaments.
"I like things that I can
take pride in. My crafts are
good for my hands, but all
that minute work hurts your
eyes," she says. "I never wore
glasses until I started china
painting."
Sylvia credits many others
with having taught her
special skills. "My daughter
Sheila showed me how to
needlepoint. My aunts
Dorothy and Henrietta
taught me how to crochet and
knit."
A self-described fast-
learner, Waldman sat down
and soon made more than a
dozen afghans. "I gave away
12 that first year. Any
organization that said they
needed one, got one."
The Waldman home is fill-
ed with Sylvia's collections —
china and paintings.
"Anything inexpensive I col-
lect. My friends all laugh at
me and ask, 'How are you go-
ing to move? How would you
ever take all this stuff?' " But
the couple has no intention of
moving from the home Saul
designed and built 24 years
ago behind Shaarey Zedek, so
he could walk to the
synagogue.
Waldman's own craftwork
has provided her with far
more than a sense of artistic
fulfillment and the privilege
of giving something of herself
directly to others. "It's fun,"
she exclaims.

Armed Terrorist
Tel Aviv (JTA) — Israel
Defense Forces killed an
armed infiltrator in the
southern Lebanon security
zone during a clash in which
an IDF patrol intercepted a
gang near Kafr Rashef, in the
western sector of the zone,
last Sunday. The rest of the
gang fled.
Earlier, Israeli air force jets
conducted their second raid in
a week on targets in southern
Lebanon. The terrorist
groups targeted were iden-
tified as the Popular Front for
the Liberation of Palestine,
headed by George Habash,
and the Popular Nasserite
Organization.
