Baked Clay

 

 

 

A while back ago when I was watching a couple of Julie's kids, we made some hand prints in clay. Although I'm going to try a different recipe, I thought I'd go ahead and share this one anyway. It turned out ok, but there were air bubbles and so they are cracking and feel very fragile. So, here is Denver, Tate and Kaleb's hand prints. Julie, I'll get these to you when I see you next.
BAKED CLAY
4 cups flour
1 cup salt
3/4 cups water

Press out dough and have a child make his handprint on it. Bake at 325 for 1 hour (I think I ended up baking these for 3 hours because they were still soft). Will be light brown in color.

My Exploding Box...Sort-of

So, this is my attempt at the exploding box. I decided to do it as simple as possible just so I would actually finish this project. It looks like there could be SO much more added to this, for all of you who have the skills AND the patience. I just need to spray my box with a finishing spray so it will stop sticking. I used mod-podge to glue the pics to the box. So fun!

 

 

 

 

The Exploding Box

Check out this link. I think you just click on the Title there. This was done as a Super Saturday activity. I'm heading up to take photo's to share my version of it. She actually sales patterns for this. Awesome!

It's Found

Yeah! I found my camera this afternoon. It was right where I put it. Isn't that how it always goes? So, now my life can go on. :)

Camera

My Camera is lost! The flash has been stuck and I haven't been able to open it back up, so I haven't been thinking much about it. So, I finally decided to show Brandon what the problem is to see if he can fix it, and what do ya know? It's nowhere to be found! So frustrating! So, if you've seen it lying around your house, let me know, I feel lost without my camera.

Julie suggested, just this afternoon, that I should have a blog devoted to some of the crafts that do with the kids, or by myself. So, here it is! I'm so excited about this. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do!
