One test completed next to be started

So far after 24hrs of drying the water lily is doing well.  Here in these pictures I'm showing the steps and going to give the back side the same coating as the first.

It's been awhile and thought

I would post something here in my blog.  As we all know life changes all the time.  Instead of resisting by staying with the change with feelings of dis pare. It's so much easier just going with the flow but always remember you and everyone will get through it.  Just make it easier by not fighting it with negative thoughts.  My moms care has increased and I have just enough time to keep class's going that have been scheduled.  By the end of my day I'm pretty well finished and I'm taking the time to just be with me. Not feeling to stay up and create like I had been.
This morning as I took my walk I noticed I had my first white water lily.  Been waiting for it to bloom so I could try some experiments.  Here below in the pictures is what I tried and at this point I don't know when the flower dries what it will do.  I take many flowers or leaves and I will use many different mediums to capture different texture. I strive for lots of different textures for my polymer clay dolls.  I think it tones the bulky look clay can have.  Creating clothing, shoes, hats and I have even made stockings for my dolls at one time. Creating is unlimited and never should anyone stop.  Keep going it will lead you into another idea.

Play Play Play, Expand Expand Expand, you will never feel stuck

Hi everyone!  Im sharing with all of you just something I played around with yesterday after class.  In this experiment I'm still using real cleaned leaves.  But my mediums are different.  I'm not only one who loves to sculpt but I love to experiment.  I love creating and making things different.  I get way to bored if I just keep using the same methods and the same style with certain mediums. When I sculpt I have many methods not just one.  I found this to be very helpful for me that is because doing one method all the time I kept making the same things over and not changing.  I know it may sound weird to some but it works for me and not only me I found it to be very open when having a class.  I could have a class of eight lets say and out of the eight I found in each one they were all different.  One understood it one way and another something else.  So, all my crazy methods of sculpting has truly come in handy to share and to expand in this creative world we live in.  If any of you would like to discuss anything I may post please feel free to do so.  Remember we are all co- creators when we share.
