super sculpey is pretty much the best!

so last weekend, we picked up a package of super sculpey.  the intention with this block of amazing stuff, was to make dia de los muertos (or day of the dead)  figures out of it.  the holiday's not technically until november, but we wanted a head start.

wandering turtle art gallery and gifts annually puts up a community altar.  each year, the altar is built upon the previous years offerings.  notes are collected, items are stored, and with the help of the community, it grows every year.  it's an amazing thing to experience!!

anyway, so we got this super sculpey stuff...and for about 5 minutes i was making arms and legs and was making people!  but then my clay ADD got the best of me and this happened :

and then i had so much fun making clarence up there that i decided to make guiseppe:

and then somehow i formed another face that was shaped like a piece of toast.  and that's when this happened....

mr. toasty was born!  he started as just a piece of toast, but i knew he needed jazz hands and some legs.  in the end, he looks like some kind of PSA character...i suppose if he were to plug his selected PSA commercial, he would say something like "don't get toasted!  mr. toasty says, weed is for burnouts!!" as that is a joint tucked so lovingly in crust lips. 

and yes, that is a beret.  to be precise, that's a butter beret.
