May Project
In May, I worked on my styrofoam sculpting technique — just in time to participate in the Fools Flotilla:
Art Every Day – Day 55
I did not make this during the “Art Every Day” BUT I re-located it and made sure it was solidly assembled during AED 😀
Cement Snail!
A blast from the past!
Cement Mushroom
After all of that stuff got finished in one measely week, I decided it was high time to finish this cement mushroom project and get the darn thing OUT of my kitchen. so yeah. It’s done now. I know how to make better ones, too, now. Maybe next summer….
A cement mushroom in progress…
Played with cement just a little bit before it got cold outside…. and now I have a 70% finished mushroom hanging out in my kitchen….
First, create a plain (if lop-sided) mushroom from a lightweight cement recipe that you just happen to have the ingredients lying around:
Begin attaching “reject” glass pieces around the edge with mortar:
Fill in the rest with pieces of broken and leftover kitchen tiles (these were really fun to smash in to smaller pieces with a hammer —- though next time I think I need to break them in to even smaller pieces):
NEXT UP: grout the cracks & seal the mushroom…… someday when I get tired of having a half-finished mushroom in the corner of my kitchen 🙂
Ice critters in my front yard….
Oh no! They MOVE!!!
I can take no credit for these. It was all the work of J & Ian (as it was pointed out to me eariler – you can’t abbreviate his name and still make your point — it’s true!)
snow lizard!

(PS – photographing snow is haaaaaaard)
