| Froggie still looks good, though had some minor orthopedic surgery this morning. There was a crack in his left forearm - quickly set with paper and paste. He has been gessoed, with a home-made plaster gesso, and sanded. More gesso to be applied ... |

| And the owl, which doesn't quite look too owlish. I am hoping the paint makes a difference ... a BIG difference! |
These figures are more work than I originally thought they'd be, mostly with the multiple gessoing and sanding sessions. But I still think they're cute, and am having fun with them. I have started to put together a large goose, as well. That will be finished in a different way - something called "cloth mache". It's all a learning process ...
Thank you for dropping by! Your comments are always welcome!
These are looking great Kathryn! Your paintings are wonderful as well. I love the geese!
