how to craft the perfect (army) man-part 3

trial and error:
front

back

half cracked assembly job with likewise half cracked spatula and frying pan

not exactly the smoothest first run at him but we'll give him another go next week and hopefully his frying pan will look like a frying pan and not a tennis racket.

Tail pipe vases

here's my newest complete tail pipe vase:

and my works in progress!

eggs glorious eggs!

three of the women in my pottery class have chickens! i asked one to bring in a dozen for me and she did tonight. they are so pretty! she said that the eggs we buy at the grocery store are typically 10-11 months old. ick!

there is a dog under these snowy leaves

tailpipe vase

there were originally three of these that were supposed to layer/stack together but this is the only one that survived. i jokingly called them tailpipe vases due to their shape but after glazing this one actually really looks like a tailpipe. now i just need to find a spot for it and get some flowers in it.

bird cage lamp

i found a lamp on anthropologie that i loved but it was $1600!! can you believe it. it inspired this 'bird cage' lamp which is actually made from an industrial size mixer beater. i'm so glad my mom and dad are handy and crafty and made this for me!
