Hey- what does razor burn look like

after its been sunburned?  Well, on my inner thigh it looked like an uncomfortable conversation with a physician!
"C'mon Doc!  You can tell me...is it SMALL POX?  The BLACK PLAGUE?  Flesh eating virus? Roseolla?  Hepatitis C?  Measles?  Meningitis?  Tetanus- quick tell me!  I'm seizing up!"

"Ma'am....any chance it might be from shaving?"

"Well, if you want to stick your head in the sand and pretend there's nothing serious going on here then I suppose I may have shaved extra well for swimsuit attire."

"Any chance you may have...had to....umm, use the facilities...say outside while you were ....er, enjoying the holiday?"

"maybe."

"Near tall grass?"

Gasp!!! "Oh my GOD!  I have Lymes disease!"  Damn those wild animals in this woodland paradise!"

"Did you say in the woods?"

"Well, I did go kayaking.  Not in the woods, of course, in the river but I visited the woods a few times."

Ma'am- I'm afraid...its either....poison ivy....."

GASP! "NO!  Say it isn't so, I'm terribly allergic and will have to go on steroids which will make me bloat up like that dead fish I saw and right before the wedding next weekend!  I'll be big, bloated and splotchy!"

"or...sunburned razor burn."

"Oh." " Yeah, it could be that."

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July!  I'm hard at work getting color on the sculpture and it looks great but I have no time....to think of clever things to blog about!

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

Craft Tutorial Alert!

Well, its the end of the school year.  Time to thank the two ladies that influenced my children in a great direction!  I didn't want to donate to the gift card.  Why?  Because I'm not a joiner?  Because I want to stand out rather than share the spotlight?  Because I want a personalized gift that they can keep and always remember?  Because I want to impress upon them that I can't participate as a classroom volunteer because (loud children scare me) I've been so busy working and being creative?  Because I want to do both gifts for very little money but not look cheap?  Bingo. I saw an ornament made from a puzzle piece in a magazine and it stuck with me.  'I should do something like that' I always think.  Then the idea came to me and unfortunately would not leave me- like ringworm.  I would make a mobile. I found the very largest puzzle I could find at my local store.  Turns out the fewer the pieces- the larger they tend to be.  This 4.00 puzzle had
