The Long Cold Winter Continues

However we aren’t getting that much more snow. It will be a dusting if that. Since we are getting rain and then snow and switching off between the two, there is nothing to shovel. You have to watch for icy patches on the driveway and the sidewalk but overall not going to stop us from doing anything. I swear we are getting more snow that we have had in the past couple of years. Usually we have one snow storm and that’s it. This has been more constant snow. It seems we have been having more mild winters for the past couple of years and this is more normal for this part of the country. I do know that last week was the first time in a long time that the schools cancelled two days in a row.

Here is a picture of what I didn’t get done for Farpoint.

(It is a picture of dolls at the beginning of the process. The heads are complete as are the hands and feet and attached to the armature body. The heads are hard to describe. One is dog-like. One is bird-like. And one is human-like. Very little painting has been done so the clay is a raw pinkish color. You can also see into my box of clay and sculpting tools.)

Wow that was a quick snow shower. It started when I started this entry and stopped about 7 minutes later. I think we are back to rain again.

Anyway, back to the dolls. I plan to post photographs as I get further on them. I have ideas that I might have time to execute rather than rushing to get everything done for a show. That is if anyone is interested in the process of making these critters.

I am grateful for rain which washes away the snow even though it is very cold rain.
