Folk Art Snowman!

Prang, DAS Clay, 2.2 lb Block Air-Drying Modeling Clay in White (00316)I am still playing with the air-dry clay or paper clay called DAS Clay and have a few things in development.  Here is a sneak preview of one of the folk art snowman and he stands 4 inches high.  He still needs a few tweeks. There are 2 more in the drying process and then they need to be painted. I also have a Santa that is 6 inch tall but he is still in the working process. I don't know if he will be sitting or if I will be adding legs yet....hmmm!

Wordle

One of our new Members - Chriss Fletcher, from The Hive,  wrote a blog "Random Sources of Distraction".  Just loved her blog!!! In her blog she posted a Wordle.  I had never heard of a Wordle, so of course having all the time in the world I went to play.

YES,  She Now Has All of US HOOKED!!!

Brag Monday

It brag Monday on The Graphics Fairy and I went to work trying to find something I could whip up for this Coffee Pot.  I borrowed from the Graphic Fairy this image of the music sheet which says "Around the Christmas Tree".  First I distressed the sides with Distress Ink for Tim Holtz and then used E6000 to glue it on to the pot. I then went scavenging for something else to put on it and found this Santa.  I did the same distress ink and glued it on to the music sheet. Found a few other things and here it is. I won't be making coffee with it but it does make for a nice flower arrangement.

The Halloween Gang!

Well, I did it!!! 

As some of you might know I have just started making Paper Clay dolls. This is all new to me so it really was fun. I had the support of a great group called "The Hive".  They have been so inspiring and a few helped me with some tricks of the trade. They are artist of all kinds and when you need help with anything, all you do is ask and someone will have the answer for you.

So now here it is....The Halloween Gang!!

My last two projects were the cat, who's name is Chester and the Candy Corn guy. The cat is made of syrofoam and paper clay and is attached to a box which is decorated with lace and buttons. 

Candy Corn guy is made of syrofoam and paper clay but his legs are wooden skewers.  I think he looks better in person cause he looks antique. I think the flash dulls him out and doesn't show all the wrinkles.  (Candy Corn Guys thinks he looks younger and sexier and chose this picture.)

I really don't know if he is completely done yet...he might get some arms and socks. We'll have to see if he will allow me to do that yet. 

He is just so excited about Halloween!!!

Finishing up my last few Projects

It's almost Halloween and I am trying to finish up my last few projects. The neighborhood is having it annual Yard Sale on Saturday, October 30th and I am hoping to sale the rest of the items at that time. Then on to Christmas!!!!! 

I just love Holidays!!!

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"!!!!

Frank is out getting a tan!!!

Yes, you heard me right...Frank stepped to
get some tanning done.
He thought he was too white!!!
Little does he know that it turns green after the tan....hehehe!

A Free Art Course and The Witch is Done!

Still doing paper clay projects and my witch is done!! She is 8 1/2 inches tall and her black cape is made of paper from an old book. (not a great picture cause the batteries were going in the camera) I am also making Frank as in "Frankenstein" and he will be bigger at 13 inches. I am totally hooked on this clay and all the things you can do with it...wait till you see Frank. I will try to post a picture on his progress in the next couple of days after the camera gets it charge.
