... want?

It would appear that as the Earth has made yet another revolution and another year is upon us, My birthday has rolled around again, and that most common of questions has arisen once again. What do you want for your birthday? It's a perfectly good question, and one that I would ask my own friends and family in turn, however I always seem to have trouble figuring out how to answer. Of course when I was little--note younger since I am still somewhat little--toys were an easy enough answer. But now I am older and I find myself uninterested in many of the desires of most girls. I don't wear makeup, I like some jewelry, but I think I'm too particular about what I like, and I wouldn't like getting clothes; especially in light of recent shopping experiences. There are a few things that I like and wouldn't mind getting that I would assume might be general knowledge among my friends, however perhaps not--see previous post. For one thing, I love animals and figurenes especially since they're tactile, I've always liked fake body parts and had started upquite a collection before we moved and most of it disappeared. My collection included: one pink foam brain, a glow in the dark brain which I liked better, a squushy heart, several eyeballs that bulged when you squeezed them, a ball of fake blood that splatted against the wall when thrown, and some hands feet an ear and nose. However, for those of you who might be more ambitious in your gift giving, I have thought long and hard about the things I want and have carefully compiled for you a list of the things I would most like to recieve. So here with out further ado, is my list for your gifting convenience.

  1. a dragon
  2. He of course must fly, however full blown firebreath is optional
  3. angora goat
  4. preferably a small one
  5. a pegasus-drawn chariot

  6. a griffin

  7. invisibility spray

  8. a male quartet
  9. Either a capella or with a piano accompaniment is exceptible.
  10. jazz band

  11. flying carpet

  12. sealion
  13. Not to be confused with a seal.
  14. an empty shopping mall
  15. So that I can run around in.
  16. elephant ride
Thank you.

Overboard?

So I kind of went a little blog crazy this past weekend. Mostly I got excited about my dragon, then I just decided I wanted to learn a thing or two about html code. My little brother (the genius boy) knows a bunch of stuff and he taught me how to make a whole page different colors. Hehehe, you'll excuse me if one day I've got posts of differing colors.
There are still lots of things I didn't learn, and some things which are eluding me at the moment, but so far I've learned enough tricks to be happy with.
My next endeavor, Zcode!

Some Closure


Well here he is again, wings and all. I hope you weren't worried that he didn't have a face the last time; I like to wait til the end so it doesn't get destroied while I'm doing other stuff.

His wings and horns all came from the excess clay I got out of his tail. I know his horns aren't very impressive, but We'll say he's a baby dragon. =D

I'm not sure what color he should be once I get him baked, I only know I don't want him green.
Well now I think I'm off to do some blog organizing. That should give me hours of entertainment--or at least hours of something to do. XD

Dragon With The Tail

So today I am making a dragon. Ha! yes, after posting on facebook for suggestions as what to make; I went ahead and made a dragon anyway. The suggestions if you're interested, were cat, penguin, whale and giraffe, all of which I actually made just last week for the street fair. =D
I intended to make the dragon kind of small, and the ball I used should have done the tric. I guess he was a little too big though, because I have been gradually shrinking down his body by carefully squeezing it out in to his tail. Now he has a really long tail, but I'm not sure I'm done shrinking yet. I am going to take off his tail after I'm done with it and I might even have enough to give him a nice pair of wings.
Here he is after I've shrunken him some.


Check out that mongo tail of his. It's heavier than he is, and keeps pulling him down.

Here's one of his claws.

I am still working on making them sharper even though they will just get flat when i bake him.
I thought It'd be a good idea to wear the glove so there was a better contrast. I'll try to post a few more picks after he's done and has wings. =D TTFN!
