More Clay Fun!

I've been busy doing more clay - both air dry and paper clay.  Not sure which one is my favorite.  Each one one has it's pluses.  Paper clay has a much softer (marshmallow?) look to it, air dry looks more like kilned clay, although not as strong or durable.  Both are so much fun to play with!

Bird Brain Lopez

This is for my 5th grade teacher who we called bird-brain lopez because she was so into nature. At the time we thought it was crazy. You can now call me bird brain lopez - love my birds (and all things nature)!

Bird on wheels

My latest clay project. I tried to make the bird look as though it had been hanging around for a while, used "stiffie" for the nest paper and of coarse used distress crackle paint (just love that stuff).

Another online class

Taking another online class with evbstudiohome and I having been playing with both paper clay and air dry clay. The photos below are from the 1st Saturday class. Each month there is a new challange. This month is April Fools. This was my first try with air dry clay. I have played with paper and polymer, but this is a little more challenging. Can't wait till he dries and I can paint him. By the way, I have named him dunce.

And here he his painted. Unfortunately broke the cap and had a hard time glueing it back on. Oh well, love him anyway.
