Hey there!  So I have been a little sickly...or a lot sickly lately.  So I thought- what ever do I blog about?   The cough that that won't go away and must be like doing a  half dozen sit ups with every hacking outburst?  The fact that I can't go 10' without a box of tissues but I ran out of those and descended to a roll of toilet paper?  The part where I promised to do nothing but rest last night right after I drove through slippery roads and 7 degree temperatures to take one girl to singing lessons and came home to find the other had not showered, wrapped her gift for the sleepover birthday party or even packed her clothes to take with her?  How I tried to make her sleep over clothes easier to carry by putting them in a 'space bag' and sucking out the air with a vacuum but the bag was old and it took me three times to realize I wasn't gaining ground on the problem, meanwhile, said child had fallen fast asleep?  I could go on and on about the indignities of all

I need to call in sick for a few days, folks!  I have some news for you when I get back to my old self!!!

Folks, I think that means 're-do'.  I know the word only from some movie title- not one that I watched but one that I decided didn't look like it would be worthy of the brain cells it would take to watch it.  And, after that presumptuous statement- I really do hope I used it correctly or at least with style. After stalking my own post about me, err- I mean Headless Amy, I realized there were a couple of glaring problems.  The floofy ribbon had to go- too much, it was interfering with the elegant line of her neck and compass/head.  I feel much better- don't you? I dressed up the cage and handle a bit.  I think that turned out nicely. And sadly, as much as I liked the idea of a mascara brush for an arm- it also was just a touch too much.  Amy is now down to just that 7 cent can opener and some suitcase keys.   If you are in doubt of my decision let me tell you I was highly influenced by CoCo Chanel's advice- "Put on all your jewelry and accessories and t

Here she is, Folks!!!!  For the most part she is finished!!!!  These pics don't really show that she has a greyish tone to her skin and a small amount of crackle-ing here and there. I have to fix the handle to the birdcage.  I have to adjust her bionic arm so that all the parts and pieces are hanging just so.  Her arm consists of a paint can opener that cost my father 7cents once upon a long ago time, a mascara brush and two suitcase keys.  A thimble covers up her neck stump.  (Creepy saying that!) I just painted the wagon handle.  I don't like the ribbons in the back but they are there to hide a plastic part on the back of the compass.  Too me the ribbon is a step too much.   Don't likey. What do you think of her head???  I'm pretty happy with everything- the hair, her eyes and her expression.   Check out her boot.  Its made with wire mesh armature and then I sculpted a 'shoe' over it.  Didn't know I was a footwear designer, did you?
