Merlino is Finished


Wll today I have finished Merlino the day before our Lent. So i have decided to give him a Mardi Gras theme since it is one of my favorite themes. Taking this class has really provided some cjallenges for me as this is my first time ever sculpting hands and also my first attept at costuming on my own. It is also the first of Sherry Goshon's doll classes that i have completely finished to the end so i am happy with that progress in myself. Now I have become in love with learning how to work with gourds. i need this like a lump in the head. But one can never have too many mediums to play with. i now have a box of gourd so play with thanks to one of the ladies in Sherry's class.

Great work, Grasshoppa! Sherry must be very proud of you. Yep, she's a good one for getting us hooked on techniques alright! But how dull it would be without her!

Jeff! I didn't know you had a blog... Hmpffff... gourds. Between you and Linda, I am totally intrigued. I ordered a bunch this week and now just have to wait for them to arrive. Merlino is wonderful -- so colorful and spirited! I just recently took inventory of my pile of UFO's. I am so proud of you for finishing him, and during class too! Margi Gras is a subject that has presented itself to me several times now recently, though I never thought of it much before. I will have to give it some more thought and discover what I am supposed to do with it. Thanks for your well-wishes too. I have never had to face the loss of someone so close to me before and I am SO grateful for the kindness of friends.

Sincerely,
Judi
