Cement Snail!
This summer I wanted to show some folks that a cement sculpture could, in fact, be made from start to finish in 5 days or less.
Here is the result:
I admit that this guy isn’t 100% complete (I want to extend the mosaics down to where the shell ends) BUT it only took me approximately 5-6 hours over the course of 5 days to get this far. I’m confident that if I weren’t teaching other things at the same time as I was working on this, I’d have finished this guy AND made another 1 or 2 sculptures.
A blast from the past!
This is a paper mache lion I made for a long long ago NYE party in Milwaukee. I liked him enough to drag him through several apartments and all the way to this current house of mine… sadly, he’d become mouse-eaten and tattered enough that I had to say goodbye to him earlier this summer. BUT, not before I took some pictures!
Partial Quilt

After assembling the four panels, but before attaching a border:
I’m waiting for this to come back from a lady who is machine quilting it for me. It’s really hard not to send the lady weekly inquiries about the progress on this thing 🙂 I’m super excited to get it back, even though it means I will have some 40+ feet of binding to make and sew on…… remind me again why I didn’t just have someone else do that for me, too?

And now… the post you’ve all been waiting for…..
Sooooo……I made steampunk twinchies for a swapbot swap. They even turned out quite decently steampunk, I thought… and then I got this rating:
Now, the $64-million dollar question is…. Do *you* see a frog here?
I *intended* them to be (left to right, starting in top row):
spider, owl, bird
chicken, owl, spider
Is that what you guessed?
(this still makes me laugh and laugh and laugh 🙂

Stained Glass – 2013 Garezera 3×3
In order to keep up with and demo stuff for a lady who was making a stained glass window hanging in our class, I put together this during the workshop in Michigan. Next time, I will use the framing tools in order to ensure a stained glass item that actually is *rectangular*. I’m almost inspired to begin those 4 glass panels for the cabinet in my kitchen…. almost.
And now…. for something different!
In January, I made a savory birthday cake for my party. Several brave souls were willing to try it, and I like to think that they even ENJOYED it! I certainly did. It was a nice break from the usual sweet things found at a birthday party.
