I’ve sketched three ideas and even though I love all three, I’ve settled on one and have my supplies assembled.

@thanate is a new one partner for me I think? My brain is all fuzzy this morning . I haven’t finished my coffee. :rofl:

She listed themes and things that she would use. I’ve chosen one of the things she’d use now I’m just thinking which theme I should use. :grin:

I plan on trying air dry clay :purple_heart:

I have plotted and planned and now I’m trying my hand at some paper mache. Hoping it goes well and I have most of my sculpture assembled this weekend, ready for finishing next weekend.

I feel like we’ve at least exchanged ATCs, but that might be it?

Okay Im glad I started right away because uhm…paper mache has to be built up in layers and I knew that but I didn’t really think about the implications of all that drying time. So, started last night and I’m waiting for layer 2 to dry. I think I’ll be able to make this work. Fingers crossed. Heh.

Can origami be considered a sculpture? Not that I’m trying that… I haven’t even sat down to try cranes or folded stars yet. But at the library yesterday they had a display of the most amazing origami work… it just made me think “would this count?”

I am going to say no. Try to think of adding and subtracting material. That was my goal for the swap. Something more substantial.

I got my supplies and watched YouTube videos for a while yesterday to prepare. I need to start soon. Drying time is a serious thing! Eeps!

I’ve got an idea for what I want to attempt and some new ______ coming today which I think should help. Tell me I’m not the only one who finds excuses to buy new supplies for swaps :joy:

So many ideas.. so many possibilities!

I’ve just been marinating ideas for now.

I’m a teacher and we have 1 more week of school til spring break. I can’t wait to deep dive into this project then. No marking, no lesson planning, just pure creative stream of consciousness :grin::sparkles:

Ack! So sorry I somehow forgot about signups until @gozer mentioned it this morning. D’oh!

If @gozer allows it, I’d be willing to take on a second partner so you can join.

I have the idea of what I want to make, just have to figure out how to make it.
