Many years ago > I used to pour plaster into my old chocolate molds and make Rabbits and Santas and more . This is a wedding couple that I made . The mold I have is metal .... it's old ! I made the base from polymer clay .I painted the figures and antiqued them . I made these chalkware type of figures because I couldn't afford Vallencourt things ... ha ha
so I made my own ! and also sold these in gift shops
AND
BIG NEWS
CRABBY Sandy is HAPPY
Husband Michael bought a little air conditioner and oh my gosh .... it is little lightweight thing ,
it cooled the house a little but mostly it got rid of the humidity
He got it at Walmart for $125.00 and it only weighs about 40 pounds
I had no idea they made them like this !
We have one in the basement collecting dust and it's metal and the thing must weigh 400 pounds . and there it will stay .
anyway > so now behind this wedding couple , in this window is my lovely little air conditioner that wrecks the look of my pretty little window , but that's okay ..... I am thanking the Lord for this air conditioner !
My cats look better , and I swear I heard Juliette say thank you !
Oh > click to enlarge
ONE more thing > Visit Cathy's blog to see her new wall of art [ some of my work is there ]
I love it !
Hi Sandy--I am SOOO happy--I found your blog and wonderful art--thank you for sharing your talent. I'm off to your Etsy store now!
ReplyDeleteSandy these are so cute! lol about Juliet! I am happy that you are happy friend!
ReplyDeleteDiane ! thank you ... glad to meet you
ReplyDeleteand Janine > thanks , yes we are MUCH happier now
love them....so sweet, but did you ever do a set in brighter colors??
ReplyDeleteWe got a little windfall a couple of years ago, and I had my husband get the most powerful window ac we could find at Sears. It is wonderful, and even has a remote control clicker! We have a couple of fans set up around the room to move the cool air around, and it is lovely!
Yep, that's what I'm talking about! Those window air-conditioners! I NOW have 2 on the 1st floor and one upstairs in my bedroom...I'm in Heaven!
ReplyDeleteHow did I ever survive before!?
So I KNOW EXACTLY how happy you are my friend! Waahoo!
(I just hope they don't suck the moisture out of our dewy youthful skin)LOL!
Oops! I was so busy talking about the cool air! I forgot to tell you what a great idea that was, using the molds! They are awesome!!!!
ReplyDeleteha ha Cindi
ReplyDeleteMy face is looking a little wrinkled
I love my little air conditioner
Congrats on the A/C. Blessedly we have central air and it is marvelous. Years back I used plaster in little candy molds shaped like circus animals and painted them and made pins from them. That's what my co-workers got for Christmas that year and they actually loved them. To have nice vintage chocolate molds would be awesome. Your wedding couple is pretty dang cool. I would never known they weren't antiques. Way to go, Girly Girl.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got an a/c!! And these are so amazing, Sandy.... you are so talented. You could even make them separate (or are they touching?) as well, I bet. Nice!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little married couple! Love the way you painted them, Sandy.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya about the AC. I just got one for my studio last summer and it saves me on days like today when it's 100 degrees!
Love the couple!
ReplyDeleteI am loving my central ac. When we first got central air in our last house, (one cannot survive in MD w/out one), I sang a little song that I made up, "I love central air...I love central air!!!!....
... my kids, little then, thought that I was oh , so silly. Now that they are older, they think that Mom is 'so out of it', haha
