I love to Dream, live to Create and hope to Inspire!

Clay day with Barb, more hydrangeas, more clay

and "Mom, I almost got shot in the eye! "

On Wednesday, I spent the day with Barb and we played with clay. She won a clay play day with me for taking 6 paint classes with me in March.

I knew the exact project that we'd create - a faux slate heart with hydranges made out of clay.
I had made one and gave it to Donna Dewberry when I went to HD certs. last month and Barb really LOVED it when I showed it to her - so knew that was what we'd create.
We had a fabulous lunch and lots of time to laugh and chat.

If you haven't tried this clay yet you can find it at AC Moore or JoAnn's craft stores or you can purchase it at http://www.onestroke.com/ ~ it's incredible! It's made my Sculpey and Donna Dewberry. The best thing about it is it holds it's shape when you sculpt it ~ so there is no putting aluminum foil underneath the raised areas to keep it lifted - when you bake it in the oven (30 minutes on 275 degrees) it stays in the position that you put it!

While she was busy creating the hydrangea petals (it was a bit tedious)

I created a hibiscus out of clay for her.

More baskets of hydrangeas

We painted the basket of hydrangea in paint class on Wednesday

Saturday Studio Clay class~

at my home. They haven't gotten the product yet at Hobby Lobby so I'm going to teach these classes at my home until they do! It's too much fun not to SHARE. We created frames with sculpted leaves and then we glued them to the frames and stained them! The ladies that came today LOVED the product, especially the tools and the final project!

If it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen to my middle son Kendall. He got shot in the face with a bb gun by a friends 5 yr. old brother. Don't ask me why that 5 yr. old had a bb gun in his hand but it really freaked me out ~ thinking a bit to the left and it could have been his ear or a bit to the right and straight in his eye!!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend. I'll be back on Tuesday to post my LAST day of bowling league scores and post pictures from both paint classes on Monday.
Have a great day.
Blessings,
Sandy
