Jaymie's New Truck

Just had a bit of happy news & happenings. I am quite excited that I finally got a new (used but new to me) truck!! A ’93 Toyota 4 runner. I am so so so happy and it is quite beautirific!!! It has all the bells and whistles, and on top of everything it is an automatic and still has 4-wheel drive! It drives so nice, not like a truck at all. I can say how happy I am. The old camry was truly on its last legs, now I have no worries about my vechicle starting or dying.

Whoo hoos!
Namaste,

Trying new things…

Hello all. In BPCAG we are doing what is called “Sculpting Practice Rounds”, and this week practice round is the female head. Seeing as I’ve NEVER EVER sculpted anything, this was a little daunting for me. But, I want to do this sooooo bad. So I’m jumping in. With great support from these wonderful ladies of the group, and armed with quite a few different tutorials. Here is a sample of the head I am working on now:

Head/Face Sculpting Practice

So far this attempt is going okay. I’m trying to be optimistic about it. Even though being optimistic is quite alien to me.

Here is a side shot:

Head/Face Sculpting Practice

She is entirely polymer clay right now. I tried doing it with a foil ball armature underneath the clay, but I couldn’t get her smooth at all. This seems to be better. I will try to post more as I progress with her. Thanks!

TTFN!

A new beginning…

Hello.

This is by no means ready to get off the ground. But it is a new start, and I’m trying my best to actually stick with it. I’m hoping to post here about my life journies as well as my creative ones. I’ve recently discovered the wonderful crafting world of Polymer Clay and I’m so happy about it. My only problem now is actually finding the time to “clay” in between all my other life issues of work, kids activities, and well just living. So please stay tuned if your so inclined.
