Clay Creations

I have recently re-discovered a wonderful crafting medium called Sculpy.  My mom used to make decorative things with it back in the late '70's and as always, I was at her elbow wanting to "help".  I remember it well.

Just a couple of weeks ago a friend of mine at work showed me some of her clay art pieces and she too uses Sculpy.  It was like a flash back from my childhood!  I decided to give it a try and this is what I came up with.  By the way, you can see what Mary has for sale on her website http://www.stormybayouart.com/ and thank you Mary for the inspiration!

Art for art's sake

Let me know what you think about my two recent creations.

I have had a life-long facination and love for bugs. Chief among these are dragonflies. Here is my tribute.





























Another one of my creations. Note these are my signals of "living well". The 2005 date is commemorative of Hurricane Katrina.
