I’ve had fun this weekend working in my garden.  I flat wore myself out yesterday.  I got up early and mowed and picked beans and 2 cucumbers, got the yard watered in the back and the flower beds watered in the front.  I went to the farmers market where my favorite veggie booth had yellow squash and zucchini!  I also got my first beans of the season… had to get some since my bushes are only producing a small hand full every couple of days right now.  After the farmers market, I headed to Round Rock Market Days where I got myself a very nice present.  It won’t be unveiled for a couple of months though, because it has to wait for my back patio redo.

Anyway, today I slept late after a late night thunderstorm and rain into the early morning.  I have been toying with an idea, possibly for my table favor dolls for All Dolls Are Art 2012.  I finally tried it out this afternoon. 

Meet the snail!  I sculpted him out of paper clay this evening over tin foil. 

Isn’t this a great face? 

This is my butterfly I was working on and have set aside as I don’t know how I want to paint it yet.

I have also been playing with faces.  I want some flat faces I can mold, which I decided I was going to do with these today.  I read on Fran’s Blog how she molded a less than perfect face and used the mold to create another face which she added clay too and remolded.  Unfortunately, I couldn’t find my mold material.  I know I saw it in the last few days, but I’ve moved it and can’t remember where.  Oh well.
