Ducky Planters

Hello dear readers,

I made some experiments with a new to me, made in China, air drying clay.  My first attempts were
a disaster.  The clay was a nice terracotta color but when it dried it became kind of faded rose color.  I gave up but later on I tried again and here are the results.

Next I plan to try making spooky vessels for this same clay.  Hope something will come out.

While I was making flowers to fill up the duck pots, I remembered that I had some cold porcelain
clay which I made for another project and decided it was time to try out Susy's Aloe Vera tutorial.
I planted them in two upside-down painted terracotta metal Christmas bells.

As usual, July and August are the hottest days here and this year is no exception.  The good thing is that we have the sea very close.  Since we have no plans to go away on a holiday because of my
husband's health condition, the sea is our escape. Now I have more seashells in my stock. (Stuff to create minis from.)

I wish you all, my dear readers, a wonderful weekend and blessings.
