My DEer PupPet






I was trying to make a felted head to mount. there is a girl on etsy who makes these cute creatures out of felt and mounts them. Didn't really turn out, I made it too big so it turned into a puppet. It was hard to go from 2-d to 3-d but i think i got it. I will give it another go. I think I will give this to sylvie, it was her birthday on tuesday. I am not sure what it is, could be a deer or a rabbit.

2 YeaRs and counting


Sunday was Jim and my 2nd anniversary. We spent the morning biking up to Saint Johns(I played what we should do in the morning and Jim planned the rest of the day), which is a 7 mile bike ride, and had tea and coffee and this little place called Little Red Bike. We sat for awhile and played cribbage. than we walked over the Saint johns bridge than road bake home. It was about a 20 mile bike ride. we stayed at home for awhile, enough time to cool off and shower and from there we walked to the art museum and say some new exhibits and than Jim took me out for dinner at Higgens. I had a juicey steak and Jim had lamb shank. It was a really nice day and to document it I made a shadow box of our day. I plan to make one every year.

I did some baking last week. The cherry pie was delish. And I had a go with making poptarts. not such a go go. I think next time i will make them bigger. the lemon zest was yummy, need to get a better grater.

Here's some  pics of the sculpey before finalizations. I might get get them printed and framed to sell. I kind of like them in this form. I haven't done any photography in awhile so this might be a nice addition to my portfolio.

Some New JUnkerRoo



Here some creepy sculpey work. don't ask me what it means...usually the case is something doesn't go as planned and I do a little creative problem solving. sorry, not that creepy. this was a weird salt shaker I bought at goodwill.  I was originally going to put the antler heart in there and use the guy for some other project put after I baked the sculpey it didn't fit. badda bing badda boom there you have it, " Eichelhut"( german for acorn hat) I like using german titles. Its a little educational and props to my heritage.
