Our Tea Party

To celebrate the wedding the girls and I had a tea party.  NOT at 5:00 A.M. on a school day mind you.

No, thanks to modern day technology we taped the wedding and watched it Sunday Evening. I tried really hard not to peak at the dress on the news...I failed. But for everything else I did really well at keeping things 'MUM'. Speaking of 'Mum'- loved the queens choice of yellow. She was so cute!

Decorations were purchased.  I kept the budget to twenty dollars. I kept reminding myself that my Grandmother served tea and toast fingers at Diana's wedding and it left very fond memories in my heart. 
This guest just returned from Horse Camp.  She had more fun than legally allowed.  She bounced back and forth between glee and tears as she described her horse 'Leroy' and pledged her undying love to him.


This pretty damsel had all of her lovely locks cut off while she and I hung out for the weekend.

As it always surprises me- they were happy to see each other after a short weekend apart.
Kayla likes tea.  She is after all from my side of the family.

This one- not so much for the tea but all cheese for the camera.

We lifted our gold glittery champagne flutes in a toast to tea and Royalty.  Leroy- or his avatar joined us.




We complimented each other on our gowns and tiaras.  Truly a great tea party- I hope.





And then we had hot dogs for supper.

A Little Summer Fun Followed By A Little Summer Anxiety!

  Yep.  Got a  little goin' on... First off-  Anything to keep these two busy!    Very first overnight camp- thought I'd be really anxious.  Turns out- not so much! A few family reunions   with a few too many pictures taken.... A little surf and sand and a husband who says "Back up...I'll get the bay in the background."   Hmmm ... looks like we're in the background and those flip flops are are pretty much the focal point of this picture.  No wonder I'm always behind the lens! Did I mention- ANYTHING TO KEEP THESE TWO BUSY???? There's been some art.... And then there's this lady.  This is the final on her face- because if I don't get this done.... Their gonna lock me away in the funny house! Oh yeah, because I just don't have enough going on.... Remember this?  The birdcage never quite made it on this lady's head but.....I did not throw it out.  Actually I lost it and finally found it un...

Paper Mache` vs. Creative Paper Clay vs. Paper Clay Recipe!

For those of you who work in figurative sculpture, or are art doll makers, or just like to putz around in an artsy way this post is for you. If you don't fit into the categories above this post may just be a yawn. Sorry. The following is a comparison of my experiences using three different products. Paper mache`, Creative Paper Clay, and paper clay recipe. This picture is a good example of how I like to mix up my mediums. The round flower is Creative Paper Clay. The 3-petal blossom is made from the paper clay recipe found on line. Both of these flowers adhered quite well with out any glue to the paper mache` background. In my Cloth and Clay group I have a discussion going about a paper clay recipe vs. purchasing the manufactured paper clay. I wanted an alternative to the little bricks and my dependency on whether or not my local hobby stores would have it in stock or not. And, truthfully, at the time with a rather large sculpture in mind I knew I would eat through those...

I thought I could hack it....

Going a week without posting....but I was wrong!  The problem is that while I have been working my patootie off on the big little lady there's just not much to show for it. Since you've seen her last she's gotten hair with stuff growing out of it.  I've had some metal garland for years (I'm a pack rat, thanks parents of that generation!)  and wove it in there along with some wired rope.  Then I decided I needed way more leaves so I went to the hardware and bought aluminum flashing and spent hours cutting out leaves.  I wasn't sure I even liked her "do" but its growing on me.  One thing was for sure I hated her hands.  More specifically how huge I had made them.  her delicate arms were attached to these huge clubs and I wasn't happy.  After all, I wanted her to have thin arms and a thin neck so it wasn't like I could make them bigger!  But- last week I did make those arms beefier and guess what?  She looks good.  Then I real...
