I’ve loved exercising my creativity since I came out of the womb, but I still feel like I haven’t reached craft NIRVANA - I have yet to find My Thing. I’m a Jill of Many Trades, Master of None, and I know I’m not alone in asking, What IS My Artistic/Crafting Destiny? So many possibilities, so little time! Join me as I sort through this mammoth haystack, with successes, failures and everything in between, one project at a time.

Progress on the Paper Maché Trout...
Here's an update on my paper maché trout. It's going well, and moving along quickly, thanks to the dehumidifier in my basement! It's just about 48" long from nose to tail. I'm still finishing the Bounty paper towel layer (the back side of what you see is still just covered in the craft paper. The front portion is impressively sturdy - almost like thick plastic. I'm not going to strive for absolute smooth perfection, although I think I WILL sand it a bit when the paper towel layer is finished and dry. I think the slight bumps and valleys will contribute to the hand-done look. I'm anticipating being at the painting stage by the weekend. My spouse better deem this "Den Worthy" or I may have to put it on Ebay.
I can't wait to try more shapes!
