Due to the fact that this was the end of the first six weeks in school, I have nothing exciting to blog about except my mediocre grades. And I’m sure no one wants to hear me ramble about that.

I suppose the only thing that brightened the past 7 days was my new love for Sculpey clay. Most people have probably seen those cute clay charms on deviantart, if you don’t, look up =Oborochann and be amazed. The cute simplicity of her artwork simply made me go dig in my closet for the Sculpey III sampler pack I received when I was in 4th grade. It was finally time to put it to work.

I decided that for my first charm, I would make my little dinosaur (featured in layout 2.0). I chose him because I honestly didn’t think that his shape would be too hard, I was wrong… as always. Someone should have warned me that the charm making process takes tremendous patience. Especially if you end up decapitating your creation.

In the end, I finally created a more compact, sturdy charm which is drying as I type. I can’t wait to see the finished product!

The person who motivated me to start the charm making was probably Eva. At first I seriously thought she was a sugar high sophomore who loved to make puns out of my name. But after 1-2 hours of sitting down and chatting with her, I found that we actually have a lot of the same interests. For instance, we were both DIY (do-it-yourself) fanatics. I’m going to start collaborating with her sometimes :happy: wish us luck!

So that was my journey into the world of Sculpey, a very complicated path which at one point or another, you will end up asking 3 salespersons at Michales where the Sculpey Satin Glaze is located - Tucked into the back corner of a shelf, virtually impossible for an impatient person to find. Oh how the world has changed, whatever happened to bright neon price tags and labels?
