Wednesday WOW–January 23

I decided to do something a bit different this week.  Rather than go out in the cold I stayed in my nice warm studio.  So today you get to see what’s really on the Worktable!

I am taking an online class (yes, another one!) and spent today sculpting with polymer clay.  This is how things looked when I started.  How about we zoom in on one of those heads?

Oh my goodness!  Doesn’t she/he/it look awful?  Well, I never said I was doing well in this class.  LOL!  Actually, this is not anywhere near being finished.  Remember, this is where I started today.

See?  Isn’t that much better?  I think so and I am encouraged by the amount of progress so far.  I am learning some neat tricks for working with the clay and – perhaps most important – patience for making small adjustments at a time.

And this is how the table looked at the end of the day.  You can ignore that green paper with the photo of a doll.  It doesn’t have anything to do with this project.  I tend to get different projects mixed together when I’m in the midst of things.  When it gets too confusing, I’ll stop and have a good clean-up.  Just not yet. 

I’m having such a good time!  Can’t wait to start on the next lesson!

Glad to see she's in the hands of a good plastic surgeon! I'll be watching her progress!

Yes, Liz. I love yielding again to the lure of cloth creations.Now I too have a stack of "wanna does" awaiting me. I've also taken to doing Soul Collage, drawing and painting--along with playing oodles of piano.Such fun to be an artist.
