Saw that, Dave. Thanks. Would love to see your photos of that! I have a poorman's version of Hydrospan.
I finally finished my friend's sculpt and that's enroute now. Can't wait to hear what he thinks--I put in a surprize in there.
Today I have to show Ethan how to sew. He's been bugging me since forever about it, so I figured we may as well start with a pair of pajamas. I'll show him how to cut out a pattern and how to put it together...and he'll sew it from scratch.
Am going to work now on a 1:1 scale Urko pullover (as soon as I source the appropriate hair), and start on a 1:1 scale jacket for a very patient person. Then I will probably finish up the devil guy sculpt from Star Wars and maybe shape up an ape or two. Don't know yet--whatever takes my fancy.
One pair of pajams done! It all about killed my desire to sew again. Actually, I had to cut two pairs of pajamas and it wasn't as simple as I wanted! The boys (Ethan and Ashton) wanted me to include the feet. So Ashton has a pair of footed pajamas now and he insists on me sewing the matching top. Sigh. Never ending!! He actually sewed the legs together. I showed him how to "drive" the sewing machine and where to keep his eyes. He's really excited about it, and I let him dot the bottom of the feet with some silicone caulking for nonslip gripping. Now I have to show Ethan how to sew. Ethan basically wants to sew costumes for his stuffed animals, but at least this way I could show him how to sew and he could make something he can wear. He wants to also sew a matching pillow cover. OK. We're busy!
