Read this if you are thinking of eating your young.

 

I should tell you the tooth fairy had to double her payout because she got distracted and forgot her duties.  But this note was found next to the tooth.  How sweet is this kid?  Well, she does stuff like this all the time.  That's how sweet.  And she's my number one fan.  But then I'm hers.  The new music on the blog- first song is called Lullaby by the Dixie Chick (most likely the only country song ever to be found on my blog- I'm a rock and roll kinda girl) but the first time I heard it I fell in love and now I own my very own Country music CD.  Listen to it- you'll tear up, I promise!
  Short post I know, I'm very behind must catch up on other duties...
1.  Vertigo- under  control but it reminds me once in awhile its still lurking- like when I turn around real fast.  2.  Art stuff.....working on Big Little lady but must wait to post.  She has hair.
3.  Do you like the new look on the blog?  I have organized pages and who doesn't like organization????
4.  Summer stuff- went Kayak-ing, took Kayla for her first time- she did well.
5.  Storms every other day- argh!  Washed out roads all over the place!  Still better than so many others have it!
6.  Must get on finding a venue for art prize- must!  Ok, will check back!

    I do like the new look, but no matter what they do I hate the Dixie Chicks with every fiber of my being. It's a political thing where I feel like if you are a celebrity who sings, then sing dammit. If you are an actor, act dammit. Unless someone asks you, shut up and do the job we actually want you to do. I will admit, I used to love them a little despite my not liking country music either.

    Mel- I have to agree...being famous is not the same thing as being smart or educated or qualified...but that is the most beautiful song I've heard...

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 under the treadmill when I

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 realized that her arm
