Snow and Clay Figures

Alright, I'm not going to let another day go by with a constant twinge of regret for not posting. The last week had been somewhat busy. The network at out house went out for a few days. So I didn't get to post Friday... (I didn't have anything prepared anyway) But I thought I would nonetheless post some desultory things today...

-I decided to use at least one uncommon word in each new post from now on if I can... It's fun and I'll be able to work on my vocabulary!-

Today it snowed heavily at our house for a few hours... I wanted to take a picture while it was snowing to post today, but my camera was dead and it stopped snowing shortly after... So I took this picture anyway. This is the view from my window!
Yup, I know pretty dull...
Hahaha. No literally...

And I have to say I am pretty proud of this... It took me a good two hours or so to finish. And I have had no previous training whatsoever with wax molding... (Besides what I did on my own when my mother wasn't looking =3)

Meet Waxy the Snowman :)

I only used candles for this. I only had white, red, and blue. For the black I just burned some wax over and over. 

This is a full view of the whole clan!

Left to right: Waxy (Wax), Brown Cat (Clay), Mopey the Black Cat (Clay), Sackboy (Clay), -up top- Erik's Winged Dinosaur! (Clay)

You can also see the glass piano that Erik got me a few years ago. And on the left is a collage I put together of Erik and me!

I wrinkled some paper for the background, pasted some of Erik's doodles from his note books, then added some of my own doodles. :)

Lastly this is my kitten Oliver <3

Well, that's all I have for you today! I hope you liked it!
I'm sorry to say I won't be scheduling my posts anymore...:( I pretty much covered my current projects I worked on recently. So there won't be many things of interest for awhile I'm afraid...But I will continue to update. (Hopefully once a week or so)... I'll try to update some old projects and re-post my progress on them!

Thank you so much for reading my blog!! And I hope you all have a lovely holiday season!!!
