Hive Creative Challenge - Frank makes his debut!

I am so excited to introduce you to Frank. 

 

This is his big day in public. I hope he behaves himself and doesn't scare too many people!!

He was really fun to create. His head and body are made of Paper clay and Styrofoam, screws in his neck, springs for his arms and wooden dowels for his legs and he stands 14 inches tall.  I think he is ready to dance to "The Monster Mash"!!!!

Folk Art Doll finished!

I told you I was on a new adventure right? I am taking a class online using air dry clay. Well, I just finished my first folk art doll and could not believe how much she matched one of my paintings. I had to put them together to take a picture and here it is.





I love this air dry clay I am using called DAS.  I don't know to much about it but I used to do a lot a of green-were in my younger days and this was very similar to it in its texture. But I love the fact that it is air dry.  I let it dry over night and paint it the next day. I thought it was paper clay but there really is now ingredients listed on the package It is also very easy to sand and shape. If you are looking for a quick gift to make this is a fun project to do.   The folk art doll was so much fun that I made a pumpkin and a bird but they are not finished yet but I will post pictures when I am done.  Oh, I have so many ideas to do!!!


If you are interested in taking this folk art doll class you can find it here.

I KNOW!! What a DEAL, right!!! If you are interested in taking this class go visit her at:
