After more sanding, I finally got to start painting my little snow buddies.
But I am glad to get this project almost finished!
I like to make all kinds of quilts, from postcard to king-size. I have a Gammill longarm quilting machine, several domestic sewing machines, and also work with a Babylock Embellishing machine. In the past few years, I have tried my hand at painting with watercolors and art journaling. I also throw in a little nature photography and the occasional travel or grandchild pictures. Thanks for stopping by!

Snowmen on Parade
What a difference a little paint makes!
Some of them still need a little touching up, and I might give them all a coat of clear acrylic varnish.

Half-Baked Snowmen
I decided to try a new craft that I saw in a magazine. I went to Michael's and bought air-dry clay, styrofoam balls, sturdy wire and even my very own pink wire cutters. Then proceeded to make a huge mess as I tried to form snowman faces with the clay over the balls.
I have found out that I am not a sculptor! Looks kind of like the Seven Dwarves, doesn't it!
We'll see how they turn out after drying and sanding a second time. Stay tuned!
It took forever for these to dry. I wanted to paint them yesterday, but after sanding, I still had so many cracks that I had to make a paste with the clay and do some repairs. See the spaces between the head and the hats?
