It's been awhile...
I have been busy experimenting with polymer clay. Some fellow artist friend's have encouraged me to try this sculpting clay. I really like it and have been spending lots of time with anatomy studies!! It's going to take me awhile. Today this fella finally received some ears and a long awaited neck!!
I will post some pics of him as he evolves this week! Have a good week, Lori

FALL Has ARRIVED!
Our Mennonite neighbors, the Foxes run a produce stand on their farm. It is a self serve stand and we love to go down and just absorb the beauty around us.
