Facebook posts- don't ya wanna be my friend?

I win. I have the hardest life. I also give. In, that is. Looks like I will be driving BIG RED into work today and my little white mini van will stay home and rest up its battery. Wish me luck that my short little legs can keep my feet on the brake when needed.

Well, the F150 and I made it in...it wasn't pretty driving but we got there. I am too old to be driving a stick and putting on my makeup!



2 hours ago-
So, Big Red ran out of gas about 50 yards from the gas station even though it claimed to still have some gas (liar!). I swore, I prayed, I cried and then after meditating for a few minutes-we left the truck in the intersection and walked in the rain to the auto part store and begged for help. I left the girls at the auto place and some twenty year old kid and I walked back to the truck where it started on the first turn. I then pretended that my tube of lipstick was a gun and forced him to drive Big Red to the gas station and wait while I filled it. It ran like a gem all the way home but the girls were not allowed to speak except to pray that it didn't stall at the next intersection (it is after all a lying sack of crap and it might not have been the whole gas thing..) While pouring myself a mixed drink ( my wine is old so I mixed sprite with it so it doesn't taste like rotten fruit) I somehow knocked my yogurt off the shelf and it opened and spilled down the front of me. Thankfully it is Greek and low in calories but high in protein. Speaking of high....oh, wait- that's right, I'm supposedly a responsible adult now.

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...
