Back around the 1st of November, I decided to make myself a snowman out of styrofoam balls and Plaster of Paris.
As it turns out, I didn't stop with the snowman! Actually, I started another whole project entirely by accident....all
because I decided to use polymer clay to make the snowman's nose, eyes, mouth, and buttons. Here is my snowman.
I think my snowman turned out pretty well. Don't pay any attention to the date on the photo. I couldn't find
my digital camera, so I grabbed the new movie camera to take the pics. I just haven't had time to program the darned
thing, yet. Also, although the pic was filmed in color, it turned into black and white when I converted it to snapshots,
and I have no idea why!
I gave this statue to my brother for Christmas because he and Daddy were so close and because I know how much my brother
loved Daddy. Also, I had never really given Jimmie anything "special" that I had made, so I thought he would like to
have this reminder of Daddy. I was delighted to see that he recognized it as looking like Daddy right away!
So...now, I have a new hobby! And, all because I was just messing around with a block of polymer clay...just to
see what I could do with it! Wow! What fun!

When I started making the snowman, I had absolutely no idea what I was getting myself into! Oh! The snowman
was really very easy to do....it's just that it led to another bigger project.
It all started when I made the snowman's nose, eyes, mouth, and "buttons" out of polymer clay. Well, I had this
big hunk of clay left over, so I started playing around with it. Before I knew it, I had created this statue which just
happened to look a lot like my precious Daddy.
