I crocheted a baby blanket to donate.

I have rediscovered the joy of decoupage.

[Marsha Cassada]

Decoupage is so much fun! Your projects turned out beautifully.

I like the last idea, onto the bucket. I hadn't thought of that one.

Some of you may remember playing jacks as a kid. I made these, they're one foot tall. Styrofoam cover with experimental cement paper mache clay.

I don't really remember playing jacks, but I must have because I remember stepping on one. Those look really neat!

Will that make them suitable for outdoors? Their proportion and shape is amazing.

Thank you, LostandFound and Marsha! I used two different cement paper mache clay recipes from Jonni Good over at Ultimate Paper Mache. They are experimental because we don't know if they will hold up outdoors. I bought a "scroll saw" for foam to make these. I don't know if I could have done the circles so well without it. It was much easier than free hand. The snake I did free hand and the Thinset I used is holding up fine outdoors in the weather. I hope the cement paper mache clay works, it is easier to work with than the Thinset.

My horse ribbons were collecting dust in the barn so I made a wreath. Now they can collect dust in wreath form

I love it!

You folks are all so talented. Ribbon wreath, great idea. The sewing project, adorable! Even if I could design and sew those outfits, I doubt any of my animals (horses or donkeys) would allow me to put them on them. I'm jealous.

 

[MaryFlora]

Totally agree with 1roadtoad! You all are so talented and create the most amazing and beautiful items to wear, display, or put to use. I don’t know how you do it and I love seeing your work.

I like to draw and find it calming. Life has been stressful lately so I foresee more sketching ahead. Attached is a 5 x 7 pencil sketch.
